As soon as anyone is able to download the file, please PM me and I'll arrange to send payment for burning to a DVD-R and mailing. Pretty please?

I'm a bit dim when it comes to torrents.

if I'm downloading and leave my abc torrent program to upload to other people that ask, does that make me a seeder? or a leecher?

do I have to do something to be classed as a seeder?

****

DE, you got a PM.

if pausing helps some people to get and seed, I'll stop, not sure how that will effect things though. not savvy enough when it comes to torrenting.

Hal, it might - although I believe Bittorrent tries to ensure the creation of seeders.

tellan, while you're downloading you're technically a leacher - but you're also seeding/uploading at the same time. Once you've downloaded the file and are only uploading, then you're classed as a seeder (even though you've been seeding already). Clear? Will reply to your email shortly...

.


I downloaded the torrent file into ABC as well and it wouldn't start. I'm guessing that's because I don't have a demonoid login. I'm a major torrent n00b, hence the requests for a DVD-R burn.

I guess I'll wait until the dust settles a bit.

DE, I've sent you a PM as well.

I think you're using Azureus, so I don't know what the equivalent of Super Seed mode is. But it should be fine as is. It's your client trying to share with a large number of downloaders. For those leechers who are around 90% if you increase your upload to share more, you would help take the strain off the one lone seeder.
There's good in the Original Trilogy, and it's worth fighting for.

No sooner did I make my last post, the file started to download again. It's finished now and it looks like there are a total of 13 seeders right now. That should get the ball rolling a little faster. For a long time there, though, I wasn't downloading anything from DE's seed. It was coming from everyone else.

DE, I know you tried it and then scrapped the idea, but then it sounded like you were going to give it another go. Did you color correct the entire film this time around, or is the contrast/brightness still around the same levels as the DVD release?

Going to give it a spin tonight and enjoy this thoroughly!

Thanks for all the hard work on this excellent project!

O.T. or No T., baby!

I don't suppose anyone has artwork for this? I apologize if I missed it somewhere in the previous 37 pages... :-)

EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the links file in the torrent. My bad.

thanks DE!

Hey, MoveAlong!

Thanks for u/l-ing this to Usenet. I'm not a torrent guy, myself, so I depend on the Usenet community for most of my acquisitions. Is there a chance of you having time/bandwidth to post the DVD version of this there as well? Any efforts in that regard are appreciated, as are your own efforts on the "Story of" discs. I have the SOSW you created, and love it, and my kids enjoy it too.

Thanks again for your past, present, and future help!

I'm still getting the NTSC and PAL torrents. I'll put them up as soon as I can after I get them... Welcome aboard!

You can go about your business. Move along, move along.

I'm watching it now. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you!

I'm at the part where Luke just stormed out of the dining room and I wanted to mention something. One thing that has always bugged me is his line "I, uh, also thinking about our agreement..." It sounds like there's no audio of him adding the word "was" in there, not even quietly, with even the sound of the "s" at the end. Know what I mean? It has always sounded odd to me.

Yup, except for the first scenes of the droids on Tatooine (up to and including the first dusk shot of R2 in the valley) and the first shot as Luke runs out to watch the sunset.

Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for the warm welcome(s)!

I love the work you folks out there do to make the best/most interesting versions of these artifacts from our actual (or virtual) childhoods.

After all of the blatant money-grabbing our former master has done in the last decade, and some of the worst revisionist filmmaking this side of replacing shotguns with walkie-talkies done to some of the best memories I'll ever have from being a kid, it's gratifying to see people with genuine passion for these films, whether it's because of the artistry, the story, or even the technical aspects of what makes them so great (even in their "imperfect" form, eh, GL?), trying to present them in as fully realized a manner as humanly possible.

Cheers to all, and (in a vain attempt to drag this reply back to the thread...) to Darth Editous in particular, for your continued attempts to redeem the good in something so apparently easily swayed to the Dark Side...

Thank you, yancy/gallandro.. I was beginning to think my pleas were falling on deaf ears!

Just shoot me a PM when you're ready.

And, Darth Editious, thank you for what must amount to an amazing number of hours you've poured into this project. I was editing my own version (well, still am!) and came across this. BLOWN AWAY! My own de-SE'ed version has maybe 5% of the edits you did. I thought I was spending a lot of time on mine... wow!

I was wondering can somebody please help me get a copy as I really liked the original DE version, I live in the UK, and I will gladly sent a blank disk and postage, any help is appreciated, thank you.

Please add me to that list on DVD-R requests. I really am a complete idiot when it comes to usenet, torrents, etc.

I am happy to send DVD-R's and postage or can pay upfront with PayPal. Please send a PM and I'll send along whatever is necessary.

You gotta love usenet, it took a whole 16 minutes to download the entire edit. Now to watch it!

BTW - A month of newsgroup access would only set you back about the cost of a blank and the postage from O/S. Some premium news providers offer a free trial up to a gig or so of downloads.

I just checked and Giganews has a 3 day free trial, sign up for that and you could have the edit within the hour if you are on broadband and it will cost you nothing.

Just download grabit for the PC or Unison for the mac, both are noob friendly. Install either and then just double click on the .nzb file (which can be found or created by going to www.binsearch.info) and it will download it for you. Couldn't be easier.
