The Joy Of Science TTC Video Part 1 of 4
A downloads is the number of how many times the torrent has been downloaded according to its tracker record
A seeder is a peer that has a complete copy of the torrent and still offers it for upload. The more seeders there are, the better the chances are for completion of the file
A leech is usually a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio - in other words, downloading much more than they upload. Most leeches are users on asymmetric internet connections who do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed. The term leech, however, can be used simply to describe a peer - or any client that does not have 100% of the data
A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet that other clients connect to and transfer data. Usually a peer does not have the complete file, but only parts of it, however, peer can be used to refer to any participant in the swarm (in this case, also known as a client). Note that the colloquial definition of peer is anybody, leech or seed, involved in a torrent
A health (or avaiability) the number of full copies of the file available to the client. Each seeder adds 1.0 to this number, as they have one complete copy of the file. A connected peer with a fraction of the file available adds that fraction to the availability, if no other peer has this part of the file. (ie. a peer with 65.3% of the file downloaded increases the availability by 0.653, when two peers who both have the same 50% of the file downloaded and there is one seeder the availability is 1.5)
Torrent details
Download torrent:
Direct HTTP Download - download this torrent as a regular HTTP file using Furk.net servers as an accelerated proxy.
Note: Unlike other torrent indexes we find more trackers for a torrent and put them sorted by seeders into the torrent upon every download. This should improve download speed. Extra trackers marked with '+' sign. If you have problems with this then let us know.
DVDRip of the first 15 lectures of this series from the teaching company, and compressed with an XviD codec. Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Geophysics lectures. (elearning)
Seed after download.
Big thanks to the original uploader and to all those seeders who allowed me to get all four of these. Now seeding myself. The lectures that I've watched so far have all been top knotch, this is an excellent rip and upload, cheers!
DOWNLOADERS BEWARE!!!!
I don't recommend Dling this It's a great program but my internet was shut off because of it. I live in SoCal and my ISP is Cox. I don't know how TTC found out or how they got Cox to shut off my internet but they did and it sucks. Just be aware that this may happen. Good Luck!
Seeding is low, please seed over at least 2 times, so we can get this out to the public, it really is an excellent educational addition.
Some of my science teachers were so boring, they increased my hatred for physics. With this and other educational tools it's inspiring my love for science.

You and anyone else considering dl-ing ttc material should be aware that *it is among the most heavily defended material by anti-p2p concerns because ttc have arranged it that way.* If you want to dl them then you should exercise the kind of caution that, in truth, you should definitely be exercising anyway even if you weren't p2p-ing.
At the *very least* use PeerGuardian2 from Methlabs - but even at that you are still taking a chance - and *always enforce encryption* in your p2p client.
Better still, enforce encryption, use PeerGuardian2 *and subscibe to a VPN connection*. VPN connections can now be got at inexpensive prices. Once you have one, and use it to p2p with, your actual isp address is never shown in any swarm. The ip address that is shown is the one that the VPN provider has provided you with. If you've chosen to subscribe to a VPN in Tibet then as far as any tracker and anyone in any swarm is concerned, including anti-p2p participants, you and your isp are in Tibet.
Another advantage to using a VPN is that now your own isp can't tell that are you are doing p2p either. (They might guess it from the manner in which the data stream is conducting itself, but they cannot actually prove it.) So long as you are using the VPN connection all your isp can see is that you are connected to a VPN, and nothing else (provided your isp doesn't actually fully monitor your connection *and break the encryped stream* between your computer and the VPN - doing that is not a trivial matter and at this point in time no isp, on cost grounds alone, would even consider attempting to do it for thousands upon thousands of VPN connections. Even if they could do it easily (they can't) they would still have to hold back because of legal issues involved in an isp deciding it was okay to go ahead and bust encrypted VPN connections - they'd be in court faster than you could say "Boo" and at the very least leave with their asses in a sling.
In addition the same kind of thing applies to web browsing using the VPN (provided you choose the right kind of VPN) - your isp can't even know where you are browsing. So you can visit tpb (or anywhere else for that matter) and your isp won't know you've done that and won't know that you've dl-ed a new torrent file for you p2p-client.
