well, with the download speed for torents it is always the same thing: a community issue. I have seeded straight 9GB into this (after downloading it from Rapidshare). Lewis886 (the faneditor) gave way more. More than 100 people already finished their downloads... so where are the seeders? At what ratio did they just jump off the hook? So, all leechers can complain about download speeds all day long, but in the end it is themselves you rather get than share. This is of course not pointing to anyone specific, because I haven't tracked down the ips of the hit&runner. Still it is always them, who those of you, willing to really share, should say: thanks for incredibly slow download speed. With the new discovery of newsgroups for me, torrent is just a 3rd place option to really get things. What I like about it most is, that people can find for free the stuff, which they would otherwise never find. It attracts people to rarities like this one here and some of these people might find a new hobby in sharing fanedits or even creating them themselves.

But, enjoy the downloads nevertheless, from the comments that were already posted elsewhere, this is seems to be a really good fanedit. The 4:3 issue is based on the faneditor being rather new to the entire digital film thingie. My first fanedits were also 4:3, because at that time it was a) all that I could do b)all that I needed. They were also all PAL. Later on I realized that the community has other needs, like widescreen and NTSC, so I made this my standard. It all is a learning process. But Lewis886 is not a film creating newbie, he has created lots of self produced fan films. Just the work with DVDs and Vegas is not what he was used to. He for sure will improve. He is a big talent and I am looking very forward to his next works.
