Download full cricket matches?

Kayo has VODs of all matches that they have rights to, but you'd need a subscription to that service as well as a Australian VPN to access it. I'm unaware of any scene groups that actually rip and upload those unfortunately - I used to do some of them but had very limited bandwidth with which to upload them so it wasn't really viable to do regular uploads of 40GB+ files.

If my old scripts still work I might be able to grab the IPL Final for you later tonight and chuck it on my Soulseek share, but it may take quite a long time.

EDIT: It looks like Kayo have swapped from using plain m3u8 streams for serving videos to DRM-protected mpd manifests, at least in some cases (oddly things like the Kayo Minis are still m3u8). In theory this is still using software encryption and therefore should be reversible, but I wasn't able to extract the decryption key with Widevine and don't really have the technical knowledge necessary to work out how to do so beyond that. Chances are I won't be able to rip it, unfortunately.

no problem at all! I appreciate you even trying.

I really don't get it. If cricket is the second most popular sport in the world the only thing that should be easier to find is soccer. The more I follow cricket the more I see how much the money grubbing ICC (wish appears to just be controlled by the BCCI) is very short sited, protecting today's profits at the expense of the games great potential at advancing right now. Being an IP douche is only one example .
