I meant when they are released.  Or has that been discussed yet?

Still not sure, I am talking with someone now, but still not 100% sure, I hate fileshare sites because I am not paying to join to keep the links alive and for the speed, plus not sure who to trust anymore, and torrents are good but I cannot stand the hit and runners, especially when the file sizes are this large, so I might just have to do the newsgroups, but there are still a lot of members who do not use this, so just not sure, I will know more soon.

lol if I had a Blu-ray duplicator I would just take more blank donations and burn for people, hell as it is I hope my trustee home BD burner does not fail me lol.

So if anyone has any suggestions fire away, I will at least hear them out and think on them.

For my $0.02, I would say it isn't even close:  Go with MySpleen (at least as your primary distribution point…with ANYTHING else secondary).

 

Why MySpleen?

Reason #1:  Longevity.  Currently, your three Original Theatrical Cuts of SW, ESB, and ROTJ V3 DVD uploaded OVER 2 years ago STILL have 13, 16, and 13 seeders respectively!  So, it's not 40 each 5 years later, but that's pretty damn impressive just the same.  When you have a QUALITY product that people want (and a highly loyal distribution base, such as SW fans not able to spend their $20-30 a pop on retail theatrical versions)...you're going to get longevity!

Reason  #2:  Speed & Size.  Conventional DL sites (such as RapidShare and the bunch) are really inappropriate for file-shares much greater than 2gb due to speed and file size limitations (not to mention typical auto-deletion after 30/60/90 day inactivity).  Torrents are NOT thusly limited.

Reason  #3:   MySpleen is a PRIVATE torrent site (but with strong support for and from the members of this forum).  This is a group that on the whole DOES genuinely care about accessibility to projects such as this one!  And, for those who need more reason to do right, there is additional incentive to SEED in order to improve one's UL/DL ratio.

 

Obviously, you are already highly familiar with MySpleen...but especially for a release of this collectively large size, it would be my clear first-choice not for a lack of options, but because it's a SOLID choice for this purpose.

Truly sorry for the lack of updates on these 2 releases but I am still waiting on menu packages for a couple in front of these then I will get these and also waiting on case arts to be finished, ALL assets are done and have been done for a long time now, so hopefully we will have something to show soon and get out there, these files do no one any good just sitting on my hard drives, again real sorry it is taking so long, that is all I am going to say, because I said it would be "soon" months ago.

You_Too and I are actually ready to hit the ESB's now, I think we had our nice SW break and are ready to get back.

Stay tuned

 

 

That's GREAT news!  Looking forward to it! :D

 

All the best!
