Myspleen probably not, they took it down originally when the OT dvds came out in September.
never had issues with rapidshare links with Firefox.

MoveAlong,
Aside from the subtitles issue, can you give us your opinion of version 2?
Are there compression artifacts? Is the restored footage more seamless than in version 1?
You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

As far as Rapidshare's wait time, if you really can't wait, here's my trick (it may or may not work for you) - unplug your router/firewall and then plug it back in. When it resets, it grabs a new IP address (at least with AT&T/SBC). Presto! Also, I've been able to download things via free file sharing sites much faster than torrents. What problems do other people have? It seems like if you do have problems, you might have something on your PC restricting your access to sites, or your scripts might be buggy.

I see what you are saying. But Rapidshare doesn't even let me join a que. It says "not valid" every time I type in the verification code.
It's only rapidshare that does this, all other sites work fine.

It is more in line with ESB and ROTJ CE's. The bad "blocking" of v1 is gone and, yes, restored footage is much more seamless. The 2004 footage is color corrected and the gamma levels have been adjusted. SW 2004 is SO dark, and it is difficult to bring back black details that have been crunched to oblivion. v2's blacks are a little "noisy" at times. If you enjoy the CE trilogy, you should get v2. Still haven't heard when the "final" version will be coming my way. I'll keep you updated...
You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

Pay the Devil his due -- that's a lot of tools available to us Windoze users that Mac just doesn't have (and many of us Windoze users are also Mac users who feel the same way about being "abandoned" by Steve Jobs as SW-fans do by George Lucas). Decent P2P tools being a glaring example -- and P2P transmission is apparently a problem here (ref: page12 of this thread). Usenet? Jeez, mon; this is 2007, not 1997. RapidShare? <retch>.
For example, in uTorrent, I can design a multi-tracker torrent so my upload is not enslaved to a single hosting site. Then, I can use MakeTorrent and Edxor to shuffle new tracker announce URLs in and out as I please, and upload new .torrent files to new places, and keep my torrents fresh without having to re-up megagigs.
Let's try using some of this ho-hum Windoze technology to get this film out in front of thousands of fans.... Hmmm... It's March 14, 2007, almost two years after the May 19, 2005 date of this thread's creation, and where is SW:CE being trading presently? Demonoid, apparently, is the only current repository (since Myspleen yanked a torrent there -- Cluebat: If they'd do this, why continue patronizing Myspleen? With all the hosting site competition out there, it's an uploaders market). Current traffic in the torrent is 2 seeds and 9 peers. The seeds are doling it out at starvation ration speeds, because on Demonoid, if a torrent ever goes without a seed, the clock starts ticking and the torrent will be deleted after a set period of time.
Keep that 2/9 seed/peer in mind, and I'll show you some tricks of the trade. Within a few days of this post, it's going to be WAY, WAY higher.
* First I DL the torrent from Demonoid (which has only been there four weeks as I post, with no pics and a poor choice of names and not much of a description), and open it up in my client of choice, uTorrent. I acertain that Demonoid's announce URL is the only one on the tracker list. Unfortunate, really. If you had a shiny, new car to sell, would you advertise in only one city? Of course not....
* I open up a "master" .torrent file in the text-editor Edxor, and cut-n-paste a great, heaping gob of tracker announce URLS, most public, some private, into the rescued-from-Demonoid torrent. (I've previously tweaked my master using MakeTorrent.) Freighted along with the cut-n-paste are any torrent comments I have (these are a list of URLs to my TorrentBox and Mininova pages). Right-click, save. Drag-drop new .torrent file onto uTorrent (while it has the original open and trading) to see if the "torrent already exists; add new trackers to it?" alert comes up, indicating to me that the all-important hash number hasn't been disturbed. I make slightly different .torrent files for sites that require their announce URL to be first in a multi-tracker list.
* Off I go to Torrentbox, Minninova, Piratebay, Fenopy, IsoHunt, etc, to upload the new .torrent. Bazillions of new peers line up at the turnstiles, and happily begin trading the already existing torrent being seeded over DHT.
Results: Torrentbox, TorrentPortal, Mininova, Torrentz mega-index

I still reckon just get a giganews or similar usenet subscription and share the cost of it with friends.
Being able to download a 4GB single layer fan edit DVD in around 2 hours on usenet instead of 2 days with torrents seems worth it, and if you have two or three mates it is way worth it.

2. Why go to all this effort when version 2 is supposed to be an improved release? (Or are you torrenting version 2 and just posted in the wrong thread?)

reave has a PiF thread in this forum and he was giving away some copies of OCP's classic editions (don't know if they're DL, though). Seems like he has a couple copies of OCP's ROTJ left:One year later... any suggestions on how I can get the DL versions OCP original trilogy?

I've only seen OCP's ESB so far, and I really liked it. I like the idea of using the best-quality material where you can, and using the GOUT or LDs to fill in the rest.

All three films have a DL release. Star Wars and Return of the Jedi for sure were up and available in the usual places, and a dual layer of Empire Strikes Back Ocp said "technically existed", but he felt the increase in quality was scant. I managed to get the DL version of Empire in a trade with him, and from what I saw, I think I agree about the quality, but DLs exist for all of them.

I'll look into the PiF option, thanks. Was hoping for the DL versions since I have a projector and would expect the slight improvement that wouldn't bee too noticeable on a moderately sized screen would still jump out at 90".
Your Vintage Edits would fit the bill too, right? My goal is simply to find the highest quality least-SE copies I can find.
