Hey everyone. For those of you who are interested I like to think that this is a top quality torrent. The video quality is good like with most dvd rips. the audio is clear and I dont need to turn my volume way up to compensate like with other dodgey rips. Overall this is a super informative pack and is a must have for anybody who is interested in warfare. I want to thank the seeders and peers and especially the uploader for sharing this with me and the rest of the community. Will seed for as long as possible. Ty again
