Hello Darth Hade,

It was my intention to post another message regarding the availability of the Supplemental disc, but I couldn't find immediately a suitable torrent file.

One can find the three main disc torrents I'm seeding by going to kickasstorrents and searching for pre special ld rip.

Several torrents will come up, with some duplicates.

For Episode 4 and Episode 5, choose the older torrents. You shouldn't find duplicates for Episode 6, so it should work.

As for the Supplemental Materials disc, one should go to btmon, and search for supplemental material. "Material" has to be singular, if you type materials you will find the same disc but with a different torrent file, and so a different hash.

This search also will bring up several torrents. You have to choose the oldest of the group.

My advice is to turn on the DHT, if you are using uTorrent, in case it's not your default.

The Supplemental Materials disc torrent comes with a tracker that doesn't work. If your client permits it, you should add the trackers from PublicBitTorrent and OpenBitTorrent (you can use http instead of udp).

I'll edit this post as soon as I can find a torrent file for the supplementals.

I want to thank Darth Mallwalker once again, without whom all of this wouldn't be possible :-)

Hello Darth Hade :-)

Thank you so much for answering!

I'm happy to say that Darth Mallwalker has already seeded to me the lost parts of my copies, and that I'm already seeding the three main discs. At snail speed, unfortunately, the ADSL lines in Italy are certainly not famous for their upload speed... But I'm willing to keep those seeded until I don't see any traffic for a long time.

And even then, if anyone sends me a PM, I'll be happy to seed them again.

The kindness of Darth went overscale: he offered to seed to me the fourth disc (the extras) as well! I am really speechless :-)

You too, of course, are too kind, far too kind. You people are marvellous :-)

Keeping the torrents seeded is the least I can do.

Oh, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only "crazy" person who still appreciates Dr. Gonzo's set even after the GOUT discs came out. I agree with Darth's last comment. (EDIT: oops, I just realized both your nicks begin with "Darth", of course I was referring to Mallwalker :-)

Hello everyone! I am from Italy, I hope you can forgive my simple English.

I downloaded the three main discs from this set back in October 2004 through Bittorrent, quite possibly from Suprnova.

Then, I made the stupid mistake of burning those onto three Fujifilm discs, and not to keep any backups (they seemed fine discs, never had a coaster...)

A few weeks ago I found out that each disc has lost an average of 350 Mb of data towards the end...

I know I should be content with my 2006 GOUT discs (which I bought, along with the 2004 SE discs, and the VHS SE tapes), but I'm terribly missing the THX intro, the menus, the easter eggs and the commentary track. These are really beautiful discs, and I love how they were made.

I managed to find the .torrent files for the main discs by googling "star wars" pre ld rip; I joined those and, through a couple of leechers, I was able to recover some of the lost data.

Unfortunately, there have been no seeds in sight for days (well, years, I'm afraid...)

Since Darth Hade, in the previous post, was suggesting to re-torrent these discs, I was wondering if anybody reading this could help me recover the lost parts by joining these torrents.

I'm at 95.6% for ANH, 95.3% for ESB, and 91.6% for ROTJ (bigger piece size, unfortunately), that should be no more than 300 Mb per disc.

I would like to post the torrent hashes I'm on, but I'm afraid it could be against the board rules, in some way. On the other hand, all the torrents I could find for these discs have no seeds, and the leechers have far less data, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find me...

My gratitude for this will be expressed by keeping these torrents alive until I can't see any leechers for a long time.

I know I'm in no position to ask a favour like this, since my mistake was simply too big, and I'll understand if no one will grant my humble request  :-)

Well, thanks for reading!
JJ
