Cool! I will keep that in mind if anybody else ever wants to know!
Finished my downloads…now just waiting for my blank discs to come in. Where do I find Blu Ray disc covers and also the cover art for the Blu Ray cases? Any advice on paper and other materials to use? Thanks!
Hey, odin777, did you find out anything new about how mega’s servers react if you set FreeRapid Downloader to automatically retry indefinitely once you’ve reached your data allotment? Could you tell if time got added with the several attempts that were too early or not?
It works!! I got back tonight and it had finished downloading star wars and was half way through empire strikes back…not sure if time was added but it still downloaded
No, they are ISO files. Image files of Bluray discs that you need to burn to a blank BD-R. Menus and everything.
There is an MD5 file included in the downloads. You need a program like MD5Summer to open that file with. It basically verifies that everything downloaded correctly and didn’t get corrupted somehow during download.
So if a file has an error all i need to do is delete and redownload that file?
So I can’t have them all in the program? MusicallyInspired said that if I just let it run and set it to infinite attempts it will download when the cap is over. Thanks for getting back! So excited to finally be getting the correct versions!
I’ve never actually never tried letting it automatically re-attempt. I’d have thought that would just tick off the mega servers and make them keep adding to your waiting time. But it’s worth giving it a shot! If it just fails many times without adding to your cool off period, it might at least save the “babysitting”, if not the time. But again, it might end up delaying the process if it doesn’t work.
Also I just noticed this:
they are ISO files. Image files of blu-ray discs that you need to burn to a blank BD-R.
MusicallyInspired is correct, except in the use of the word “need”. Burning the ISOs is certainly one way to go, and my personally preferred method. However, if you take a look at step 10 of the first post, you’ll see that you can mount ISOs and view the menus and everything without a disc if you wish.
I’m out of town letting in run but overnight before I left it did work for a couple rounds so it looks like it should work just fine! I’ll let y’all know!
He mentioned that multiple retries could cause more limits if I’m not mistaken. I hadn’t known that.
What would you suggest? Set the retry time longer?
is it normal to have an error message next to some files if the cap has been reached?
That is one thing that can cause it and the reason it’s best to download only 10 at a time every 6-8 hours. But there are a few other things that could cause problems, so you’d have to do a little more troubleshooting if that doesn’t fix your issue.
Can I just let it run and it will do it automatically?
For about 10 at a time every 6-8 hours, yes. For all of them, no, you’ll hit a 5 gig quota after 10 files and stall out.
Also how much space is needed for just the movies and not the docs?
Initially The RARs for just the movie blu-ray discs will need the following drive space:
Star Wars: 39.6 GB
Empire Strikes Back: 39.8 GB
Return Of The Jedi: 40.0 GBThe extracted ISOs will be the following sizes:
Star Wars: 46.3 GB
Empire Strikes Back: 46.2 GB
Return Of The Jedi: 46.4 GBA note, though. Once you extract the an ISO, you can go back and manually delete the rars from which it was extracted to save space.
You could also set extraction programs to do this automatically during or after extraction, but I would not recomend that. If there was an error in the process, you might end up having to download the whole set all over again!
Edit: MusicallyInspired beat me to several of these points!

I just started the process…when it is going through the multi file downloader is it normal to have an error message next to some files if the cap has been reached? Can I just let it run and it will do it automatically? Thanks so much! Also how much space is needed for just the movies and not the docs? Thanks
Yes. Normal. You can check exactly how long the quota time limit lasts by right clicking on that file and selecting “Open in browser”. It’ll open the download link and tell you how long. You don’t have to check it though. I set it to auto retry after 2200 seconds (about 36 mins and to keep retrying infinitely. The longest limit I’ve had was about 3-3.5 hrs.
The movies are 50GB each. So 150GB for all three movies. Then you need space to unRAR them (but I’d recommend verifying the MD5 hashes of the RARs before deleting them just in case).
Thanks so much! What is a MD5 hash? I’m new to all of this. After it unrars is it an mkv file? Thanks!
