rutracker connectivity
Time

I’ve been using rutracker for about 12 years and in a big way. Today something very unusual happened in that I couldn’t connect to the site despite it not being down. I was able to connect, however, with my VPN using a few random regions. This is the first time, I believe, that I had to use a VPN just to connect to rutracker. Is my IP address somehow being blocked? For now I can use my VPN of course to connect but it’s a bit disconcerting.

Edit: Now I can’t even connect with a VPN despite the fact websites are saying rutracker isn’t down.

American Graffiti - Original Cut Restoration (Mechanical Assistance/Telecine Experts Needed!) (* unfinished project *) - lots of information...
Time

^ That’s great stuff. American Graffiti is in my Dad’s Top Five favorite movies and I love it too so we’re planning on going to that.

Also, the 4K Ultra HD is confirmed for next month in five countries but not the USA yet. (source: blu-ray.com) I’m not sure why it’s saying France in November because everywhere else including Amazon.fr says August. The other four countries are releasing in August.

Jim’s Marios is still edited on Amazon via Paramount+ - I assume the regular Paramount+ version is edited too unless you can confirm otherwise?

Edit occurs at 18:05 - all of Alex playing the piano, singing etc. is gone

I guess that’s the unfortunate acception because P+ is edited too

Do you have a TV capture of that scene by any chance?

Good news! The missing scene in Jim’s Mario’s is included in Pluto’s free streaming version:

https://pluto.tv/en/on-demand/series/613a6a0462aa0500144ef1d1/season/5/episode/6398f7491f9a4e0013885494

Can anyone confirm that there are no other cuts on the Paramount+ versions?

Can anyone capture this in 1080p and make it available?

it’s been released on myspleen

  • in 720p

Harmy's RETURN OF THE JEDI Despecialized Edition HD - V3.0

So, I tried a few of the Google Drive links, but they are always down.

Then I tried the uloz links with the recommended tool. Both times, after completing the download, I’d try extracting the folder only to get a CRC error.

I used to have a MySpleen account but forgot my password and the security question reply, so that’s not an option either.

So, what are my options? Wait for it to be uploaded to 1337x?

The first post of this thread, there’s a link to the “Ultimate Introductory Guide” (which now points to “HanDuet’s Guide”). Follow those steps to find alternative mega links.

Mega didn’t work for me: the daily download limit is so small I can’t even get one 900MB file without being stopped at about the halfway point.

‘MEGAsync’ + VPN = FTW

I would like to point out that many Blu-ray players hooked up to HDTV’s will not play video files encoded in H265 (my 4K Blu-ray player won’t, even though it’s a new model from only two years ago), so if you are going to use H265 at some point, please also make versions of the V3.1 MKV despecialized Return of the Jedi (and V3.0 of the first two films of the trilogy) encoded in H264 for compatibility with all Blu-ray players. Thanks for all the efforts, V3.0 looks great, Harmy! =) Also, thanks to those who worked hard on the film scans, audio tracks and subtitles! =)

Is the 1080p version H264?
