Because it doesn't just depend on the number of seeders. Remember that you're also sharing with the other leechers, so the more of them there are, the more pieces of the file are out there, and the faster it is to download them.

It is the overall swarm speed that will determan your speed, along with a few otherthings like your upload ability.

Slightly off topic, but at this link which although dated (early 2004), gives a glimpse at other fan preservations happening in the ed2k p2p world. Curious, is the "F.O.R.C.E. (Final Original Released Certified Edition)" one of the fan preservations we now trade under a different name?

http://www.p2ptv.co.uk/878.html Has ed2k files for the complete "History - Joseph Campbell & the Power of Myth" series: Part 1: The Hero's Journey, 02 - The Message of the Myth, 03 - The First Storytellers, 04 - Sacrifice and Bliss, 05 - Love and the Goddess, 06 - Masks of Eternity, xx - Interview with George Lucas.

Also does anyone know where the ripper "xvid-fitty" posts their captures? The name seems to pop up often capturing SW tv programs in some of the major torrent search sites. (for instance: Feel the Force, 60 Minutes, VH1s When SW Ruled)

Can't verify the quality but there's a homemade DVDr with "A&E's Empire of Dreams", "Animal Icons : SW Creatures" & "E!'s Behind the Scenes EpIII".

Good links, none.

RE: Star Wars Tv Specials DVD - I managed to grab this from Demonoid, just before the ROTS got leaked to the internet, and the MPAA went on pirate crackdown - the upshot of this being demonoid removing anything connected with star wars from their site at the time, and this was one of those casualties.

The quality of the video looks great on the whole, no noise as far as i can tell, and it look like a dvd recorder capture. However, during between ad breaks on Animal Icons, and the E Behind the Scenes, the video gets noticeably darker for some reason, implying different capture settings at some point - not sure if they stopped recording at the ads or edited them out later. The other downside of this disc is navigation. Like you said, it has no menu, and I seem to remember there was an issue with chapter points on it as well - either a lack of, or just too many.


I can't find the original disc right now, but I did rip it to my harddrive with the intent of reauthoring it with better navigation/menu. As it stands I've only got as far as correcting the darker vieo segments, and giving it sensible chapter stops. The menu still needs work.

edit: just found the original disc disguised as a blank - that'll teach me not to write the title on it. I was wrong about the chapter points, they are sensibly laid out, but the disc is broken up into 17 titles of 10 minutes each (the bits betwen ad breaks) - which causes a problem with some players/programs. e.g. chapter advancing in powerdvd doesn't doesn't jump to the next title.


And in other news, there's a torrent over at thepiratebay for SW 3 - Backstroke of the West DVD. With optional Engrish subtitles.

Bram Cohen and Dan Glickman to Make Major Announcement

File-sharing and the trade organizations that represent the music and movie industries are two entities not normally associated with cooperation. This notion has been changing recently, especially for the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America.) Looking for a distribution model for licensed material, it has decided to change with the times. Case in point: BitTorrent.

Although BitTorrent is responsible for clogging ISP networks and transmitting a large segment of copyrighted material, the MPAA has eyed this tool as a useful device for its own needs. Looking to provide a legitimate avenue for interested netizens to download movies, the MPAA has recently been in negotiations with Bram Cohen, founder of BitTorrent.

Bram Cohen has managed to steer clear of litigation, unlike his P2P developer brethren. From the very beginning, Bram Cohen has been staunchly opposed to piracy - at least publicly. He has repeatedly stated that BitTorrent is not a tool of piracy, and to use it as such is "stupid."

Bram has intelligently designed the BitTorrent protocol. Unlike conventional P2P networks, the BitTorrent community is not searchable. Independent indexing sites need to be established, otherwise known as trackers, which organize the content of the community (i.e. ThePirateBay.org.) Responding to reports of widespread piracy on BitTorrent, Bram stated to MSNBC:

"If there's widespread copyright infringement, you really want to go after the ringleader. And we're not being the ringleader for that. The Web types that are doing piracy are the ringleaders for that."

With Bram clearly on the record as an opponent of piracy, those interested in distributing legitimate content have taken notice.

To meet this end, Bram Cohen has commercialized BitTorrent. Establishing his once rogue enterprise as a legitimate business has had profound effects. As BitTorrent has become more commercialized, two major events have occurred. First, the MPAA and Bram Cohen entered negotiations on the feasibility of distributing licensed material over BitTorrent. Second, DCM-Doll Capital invested $8.75 million into his newly commercialized business.

His negotiations with the MPAA have gone well. According to an interview with MSNBC, MPAA president Dan Glickman appeared welcoming to Bram Cohen's ideas.

"He seems really interested in what to do next. Everyone knows that things are changing, and I believe he's very interested in adapting. I was really surprised at how if you go to them nonconfrontationally they respond in kind."

In an MPAA press release today, the trade organization stated that Dan Glickman and Bram Cohen are set to hold a press conference tomorrow in Los Angeles at 2pm PST.

"Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) Chairman and CEO Dan Glickman and BitTorrent Founder and CEO Bram Cohen will hold a press conference on Tuesday, November 22th, 2005 at the American Film Institute."

Although the MPAA is not releasing information on the details of this press conference, it’s likely the two will announce the resolution of a deal. If the MPAA does announce a deal with BitTorrent, it will be an enormous step forward for the movie industry. What will mean for the rest of the file-sharing world? The details will be released tomorrow.

Very interesting - I don't know how this will affect the way things are now though.

One possible way, the Cohen/MPAA collaboration could affect basic bit torrent is with ISP filtering. There are ISPs in Canada (and probably under the radar in the US) who are throttling torrent traffic. If the new Cohen/MPAA bit torrent protocol has some functionality which distinguishes it'self from the BT we currently use, it'll be easier to filter activities. But as consumers we can drop ISPs which do this. Only time will tell, but there's nothing to get too excited about yet, except getting more content easily, which is a good thing.

I've been wondering what are the possibilities of LucasFilm having an in-demand channel. Everything we're up to here could end up on a system like that.
