Just thought I´ld mention that the official Return of the King Trailer just debutd on the internet at: http://www.lordoftherings.net/trailer_rotk/index.html . It is a kick ass trailer, as is the Matrix Revolutions trailer at www.whatisthematrix.com .
For those of you who were watching the dance of people swarming to leaked sources of the trailer, it is worth noting the bittorrent did what nothing else could. When 3 days ago a terrible quality leaked version from asian television came up on www.theonering.net, it was bombarded with requests and went slowly. Then when the AOL tiny version came up, it did the same but worked. But when the big version (19mb) came up 18 hours before the official one, and that site linked to the Danish site hosting it, the danish site went down, as did the german site an hour later, and then the TORN site itself due to 1000´s of people wanting the file, being linked off from www.slashdot.com (now known as the / . effect). Then www.filerush.com hosted a Bitttorrent of the file, and everything went well. Over a thousand people downloaded the file within an hour, with only a slight error.
slashdot and then TORN links to it, bringing the joy to many people and ending the frustration. Thank you Bittorrent! =)
Now the official version is out, and its all history. Enjoy!
