      I believe it was announced 2 years ago that the movies would not contain the "scouring of the shire" chapter...

    Here's the torrent for a 12 min preview by Peter Jackson. It includes most of what is in the trailer and then some background goodies.

    My download through this torrent link is corrupt. At 1:42 into the movie the sound becomes distorted and video stops.
    I'm using BitTorrent 3.3, the newest as far as I'm aware.
    I tried it twice. Did not help. Is anyone else having problems?

    The mirror that TORN put up is a corrupt download, so my bet is that that is what the torrent is :( Bummer... I've been trying to get it from another site for over an hour now.

  6. Some clarity on the trailer versions by kiddailey · · Score: 4, Informative
    There are at least three versions of the trailer floating around that are NOT the 12 minute preview or the short montage that was part of that preview (from TTT DVD)

    • There's a very poor quality, so-dark-you-can-hardly-see-it version with Asian type all over the frames (ROTK_Trailer.mpeg)

    • There's the better quality, 320x240 version that AOL released last night at midnight EST (lotr3_trlr_dl.mov)

    • A Danish site released a BEAUTIFUL, 19MB, 480x280 version (rotk_trailer_480x280.mov) ... but it's downloading at 2.8k/s at the moment :(

    • TORN mirrored the file from the Danish site, but it was corrupt and was cut short at 11MB. They've temporarily removed the link.

    • There's a few Torrent links mentioned here for the 480x280, but it is a copy of the corrupt version. Make sure the one you're grabbing is 19MB

      Ok, here's a direct HTTP link to the fixed version, as posted on TORN.

      However, there seem's to be a problem with mplayer, it crashes instantly, strange because it seemed to player SVQ3 files with no problems whatsoever.

      Anyway for all you Windows/Mac Users, a friend of mine confirmed that it works fine with Quicktime 6.

      Here you go:
