It is a large file Muskrat, over 63MB. I have it on my computer. It is too large to email to you, however, I might be able to place it somewhere on a webserver for you to download. Do you have highspeed internet? PM me and we can figure out a solution for you.

I'm brand new to this board and very impressed. What a great group of like-minded, sharing people. I just tried FTP'ing but the directory was empty. Does anyone know of another download location? |

My aunt gave me a copy of the full video. It's quite startling. If you live in SCAL, I'd be more than happy to share the video with you. |

Black Dawn is the CBC docudrama that aired a couple of weeks ago in Canada. Now the world can see it. The video file is in avi format and is contained in a torrent. For those of you not familar with torrents, it is a method of download/uploading large files. This file is 425MB in size. You need a fast internet connection like broadband. If you use dial up, don’t even try downloading it. It took me about 8 hours (just start it before you go to work). You need a torrent utility. I use Bitlord. It’s free. Go here to get it: http://www.bitlord.com/ Next you will need to find the torrent. Go here: http://isohunt.com/torrents.php?ihq=black+dawn&ext=& op=and&ihp=1&iht=-1&ihs1=8&iho1=a Look for: Black Dawn: The Next Pandemic Then click the button “Download torrent”. I download to my desktop. An icon will appear on your desktop. Open Bitlord or whatever torrent reader you have and drag the icon to the box called “Name”. It should start downloading. The avi file will be stored in the application’s download directory under Programs. Once downloaded you can play the avi file in Windows Media Player. |

| I'm deep in the country with dial up. Can't get the site. Could someone give a summary of the film or what you learned from the film? I sure would appreciate any information that would help me be better prepared. |

This was great....thanks for sharing. A true eye opener. I can't imagine what it could be like. Just like when Hurricane katrina hit who would have known that people could react like that. I truly hope that good out weighs bad.
