Hello, again!

Apparently, there is a "50th Anniversary Restoration" done at high resolution. Does anyone know if that's the one used for the BD? The Blu-ray having been released months after the screening would seem to indicate so, but studios have been known to do illogical things in the past. And a 4k of the original camera negative should look better than what the BD reviewers seem to indicate.

• The Great Escape (1963) – World Premiere of 50th Anniversary Restoration
(...) The Great Escape was restored by Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios at Deluxe Digital Media using a 4K scan of the original camera negative.

And about the seeding: perhaps you're not connectable ( like me ), which means about only half the people can actually connect to you. But if you hang on in there, a connectable member will show up and act like a bridge between you and the rest.

The 4k master is noted as being not on the disc from what people who saw it said.

The seeding, none of that makes any sense to me sorry.

I am a total novice at torrenting
