Looks like the webhost (HostGator) issued a temporary ban due to overuse of shared resources: https://www.blogtechtips.com/2016/02/05/hostgator-temporary-block-has-been-placed-on-database-access-fix/
Site Owner needs to contact the host to get things resolved.
I posted V2 to usenet (a.b.starwars) earlier today. Unfortunately, I had an error which resulted in the PAR files not being posted, but I was able to download and unpack the file, and it appears to be working fine. It’s currently the top entry if you browse a.b.starwars via binsearch.
This is an MKV file, with no extras. I won’t be uploading to Mega, torrent, etc., because it’s readily available on usenet. If you need help with usenet, Google is your friend, and many usenet servers offer free trials.
If someone downloads and watches the whole file, and notices issues/corruption, I can try to post it again, hopefully with PAR files included.
EDIT: I’ve been notified that my original attempt to upload didn’t work for someone, so I’m trying the upload again- here’s hoping it works this time, it should be done in approx 10 hours.
EDIT2: Upload complete. I had to fix a few pieces, so it might show as incomplete on binsearch/nzbindex, but I’ve verified that the nzb can download/unpack completely. I had the same PAR2 issues as before (I’m really rusty at this stuff), so this was my last attempt. I’m hoping it works for those who are asking!
Can someone please provide a list of what the 10 different audio tracks are that are included in this release? Thanks in advance.
V2 has all of the tracks released with the Despecialized Edition (22 tracks in total). V1 only had a single track (an AAC encode of the 1980 Stereo Mix).
I would love this! Does anyone have a Blutopia invite they could send me. 😃
Check your PM’s.
I completely agree with everything Williarob said- I’m very thankful that there are so many people who work so hard on these projects, often using their own resources, to provide a product to the fan community. Poita, your efforts transcend most, and in addition to scans you provide, your expertise and knowledge in the areas of film restoration are monumental. Thanks!!
Hey Poita- seems like maybe this got sidelined for some other projects? Any news on when it will be picked up again? Thanks in advance!
Hey there- how’s it coming along? Looking forward to watching the mouse poops in all their glory!
Hey all- just wondering if anything came of this project? I enjoyed the preview reels, but it seems an actual final assembly never occurred?
I’d love a link as well- thanks in advance.
How do I get spleen account?
You don’t. Registration is closed, and invites are frozen…
Is there any chance for a V2 that you could put the 97 DTS track as the default? I know it’s a simple remux but if this release is supposed to represent the “best of the special edition” I think it should default to the track that is widely considered better in both content and quality.
Change the header in MKVToolNix so that the 97 track is default. Takes less than 5 seconds 😃
The Blu-ray ISO’s made by NJVC are fantastic. For now they’re the only way I watch the original trilogy.
Well, send em on over! 😃
ml80 - I sent you a PM (top right, message bubble).
I’ve been on MS right now, to check the invites, and I can’t access the invites page, got “access denied” error!
Can someone else check as well? Dunno if it’s a common problem, thanks!
I got the same error as well. There’s a post on it in the MS forums, it’s not so much an error as an administrative decision…
Amazing!!! I’m looking forward to sitting down and watching this- and counting mouse droppings 😃
And now there’s a website?!?
a quick whois will likely show a few details - I imagine the hosts’ terms and conditions may be violated by this person(s) selling stuff like this… (and GoDaddy may not like to feel the wrath of Disney/Lucasfilm getting in contact) - and then handing over files to help ascertain just who is behind it…)
Looks like they registered through DomainsByProxy to keep their information hidden. I wonder why they think they would want to keep themselves hidden… \s
I resolved the IP Address to 86.96.202.168 using an ssl server lookup. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=ldsentertainment.com

I still expect there to be a quick glitch near the start, plus problems in reel 1 with contrast. And of course fur balls and mouse droppings.
We come for the glitches/contrast issues, but stay for the mouse droppings…
Can’t wait!!!

Fascinating stuff- I spent a little time grappling with machine learning in college, while working on a research project designed to increase the efficacy and efficiency of early Glaucoma detection… Machines can produce some amazing results when given the right parameters!
40 years after having seen the first Star Wars in cinema, I wanted to dig out the DVD set - just to find that the ANH disc has a bad crack in the middle ring…
… so I was very happy to see your post.
I read through, but did not find a download source, just postings of eBay auctions and MEGA shutdown notice.
So I would like to ask, if the ISOs are available somewhere, I thing it is not good to pay the eBay people as they seem to rip off hard work of people here in the forum.
Thank you in advance!
You’ll want to ask for a MySpleen invite here
So sorry to hear about your loss DS. As a parent, I can’t even begin to imagine how much you’re hurting. Please know that this family will be here for you when you need it.
Could anyone help me send me a links so I can download the 50GB content and watch with her? And if you have any additional recommendation it would be more than welcome.

DELETE.
Looking forward to it, thanks Dreamaster!
I need an invite to myspleen (?). Is there anything special I need to do to get an invite?
There’s a separate forum post for invite requests. Since you’re new, here’s a link to the invite request post.
Good luck!
