Today i remembered that Blizzard is working on Starcraft 2. I'm a huge
starcraft fan and i wanted to check out how the development is going,
and when the game will be released. As no release date is yet on site,
i went to the movies page trying to download a few gameplay videos. I
had a very bad surprise. You can only download the videos using
blizzard's download app. They are using BitTorrent technology to spread
their files via a proprietary app. Why on earth didn't they just placed
a .torrent file so that Linux users could also download their content i
don't really understand.
Download Blizzard movies with wine:
In a terminal open the .exe file downloaded from blizzard with wine (wine-0.9.53 on my Ubuntu 7.10 machine)
That's it.

That's it.
