I would really like to know those "couple of places". Thanks!


I second that.



And I third that. Looked in the usual places and can't find them.

Just tried to get this off the binaries group and don't know what went wrong. Downloaded all day and seemed like it was gonna work and then it just stopped downloading articles. I ended up with only about a gig and a half of files, but they won't decode and I doubt very much that's the whole DVD anyway (but I just can't get it to start downloading again). I never could get a binaries download to work the few times I tried it over the years. I was so happy with bittorrent when it came along.

These are the screen caps of the set that I have...

Please keep in mind that this capture is over a year old and done with a ALL IN WONDER 128 (I think) - straight capture I don't know all the settings that were used as it was one of my brothers first captures - I also HAD another set that was captured from the LD's but have since lost them


DISC ONE - US Laserdisc Capture (notice the fox video logo on upper left)

Damn....those pics look pretty sweet, Rikter!

Yea - I just wish that Al could get those LD's again! (bad capture that could have been better - weak colors) - But I doubt that we'll ever get them again as they moved to somewhere in Texas

Hello

I am ignorant, where do these "Making of..." specials come from? A LD?
danke!

They are also on VHS, but the LD picture is much better, and doesn't degrade nearly as much.

Question about torrents for you guys..

I have a file that's downloading suuuuuuuuuuper slow and it appears only one seeder. If someone else begins seeding the same file somewhere else, do i have to quit the current torrent and leach onto the new torrent? Or does it automatically connect? Will my partial file begin redownloading at the same point because it's the exact same file?

If someone else starts seeding the file through the same tracker, then you don't need to do anything, you will connect to both seeds.

If someone else creates a new torrent that uses a different tracker, and you want to use that instead, then you will have to stop your current download and grab the new torrent. If you set the download location to the same place as the old one then it should continue from where you left off.

I don't know if you can have two torrents writing to the same file at the same time.

The first disc is on myspleen now.

This is the ld transfer made by Dr Gonzo with japanese subtitles.

And before you ask, I will add disc two before the end of the year...

Thank you GG
No newsfeed here, so been hoping this would happen

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

Sounds like you're using an old BT client software.
A recent version of BitTornado or Azureus shouldn't suffer that problem.

Just wanted to say that I think it's quite impressive what you all are doing. I'm getting the MagnoliaFan stuff right now, and just wanted to promise that I've set the ratio for those torrents at 200% (Normally upload to 100, but these are worth the extra time in the Upload Pile ) Thanks again.
