The gonzo trilogy with the supplemental disc is on absw now. I posted them just recently.


Yeah but its almost incomplete for 50%.


All the ANH and other gonzo trilogy files show as complete through Giganews (and I'm assuming for other premium servers, too) and binsearch.info says that only parts 19 & 20 are incomplete. The included par files should be more than enough to fix that. Sounds like the problem is with your provider. Besides, I can't repost because those files have already been deleted from my hard drive. Once I see that they're complete, they're gone. Sorry. If you're not using a premium server, then you will most likely encounter incomplete posts often.

So, the files ARE complete, just not through your provider. You're not trying to access through your ISP, are you?

Yes, but do they have a PC version?


Well, without trying to sound like the mac zealot that I really am , software this good just doesn't exist on windows, period. That's kind of the whole point. They chose to make it mac only because OS X allows it to be so much better than XP ever could. I'm not trying to get flamed, it's just this is merely one example of most people not knowing how good it can be to stay away from the dark side

BTW, there are DVDShrink alternatives on the mac. No reason to break your PC in to pieces, just add a mac mini and a KVM switch to your rig and you have the best of both worlds.

Merry Christmas, guys!

A .dmg file is the OS X native disc image file format. It might work if you try mounting the .dmg image using your favorite burning app. I don't use windows so I don't know all the programs. Maybe Nero or Roxio? I know I can mount most any disc image format in OS X natively and using Toast (OS X), like dmg, img, iso, bin, cue, whatever. Give it a try.

But, you might not want to bother. The MUX.dmg file is just a bunch of mp3's (I was curious so I checked). I'm sure those SW covers have been gone for a long time.

Well, paying for a premium newsgroup service is usually required. But if you can afford it, it's no harder to learn than torrents and so much faster. I used to be very leary, it seemed so damned complicated (especially so, being a mac user). I can now download a dvd in around 2 hours. Plus there are no stupid ratios to deal with. Since I got my Giganews account, I have yet to fire up Azureus.

Yes, I have the isolated score files. But, I think a great many of you already have them as well. Russs15 mentioned the EditDroid set. This is my source and so was the source for ESB classic edition. Would there be any interest in me making all 3 available on absw? Do many of you download from absw or are you still toiling with torrents? The overwhelming majority of postings have gone away from myspleen and now are put on absw. It is soooo much faster! I currently have ROTJ isolated score on my server. If any of you want it, PM me and I'll tell you how to get there.

Yeah, macs are finicky when it comes to ram (which is a good thing, really... they're engineered with tighter ram tolerances than most wintel boxes). I've always bought my ram from ramjet.com. They guarantee that their ram is fully compatable with all macs' current firmware. Good prices and excellent service. Never had a problem and I've bought ram for half a dozen macs from them. I've also heard good things about crucial.com.

And as you found out, DiskWarrior is an absolute savior. You don't need to buy ram from Apple. They'll ream you. Go with ramjet.com.

Merry Christmas!
