On the upside my ratio on MySpleen is the best it's ever been, but a superseeder would be nice.


Yeah, that's me. Seeding 30+ torrents does wonders for the bandwidth, eh? I'll stop my other torrents so you can wrap up. Just gimmie a heads up when you're done.

The ever popular Linksys WRT54G with stock firmware. Haven't used any of the open source firmwares yet out of fear of bricking the thing.

They're fairly similar. Azureus certainly has many more extensive settings but both are pretty straight foward. Only complaint I have so far is Azureus allows you to specify a port to use for DHT while it doesn't appear that uTorrent does. Well, that complaint, and the fact that I can't get port fowarding to work. But who's counting.

Strange, I haven't been able to get my port fowarding to work since making the switch from Azureus to uTorrent. I realize this isn't really the apropriate forum for this, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Port forwarding used to work fine for me with Azureus. Azureus crashed (again) the other day taking a couple pieces of some torrents I had downloaded with it. So I decided to scrap it and install uTorrent. I setup uTorrent to use the same port I had Azureus running on. But spleen still apparently can't see that port (as it doesn't list my port in the peers list). Tried rebooting the switch, tried rebooting the computer, nadda. Once again, sorry for the slightly OT post. But if anyone has any ideas, love to hear em.

thedigitalbits confirmed it as well

from http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents again:

"We've got some more interesting standard DVD news to report today, starting with a follow-up on that French Star Wars DVD controversy we mentioned the other day. We've gotten a follow-up e-mail from our friend Arnaud at DVDRama in France. He's actually had the chance to see, with his own two eyes, the new Star Wars DVDs being released there, and it turns out Fox France was wrong. Someone in marketing over there apparently still doesn't know what anamorphic means. The special edition versions of the films on Disc One of each set are anamorphic, but the original theatrical editions on Disc Two of each are definitely NOT anamorphic. They're just letterboxed widescreen as we expected. Fox France has apparently apologized for the confusion, and we definitely appreciate Arnaud's efforts in confirming the truth of the situation. So to sum up, France is getting the same sub-par Star Wars DVDs as the rest of us. 'Nuff said."

You won't notice any instananeous speed boost. Opening up your firewall (ie port fowarding) allows people to connect to you. When you are behind a firewall, you can only make connections to other peers and nobody to can connect to you without you connecting to them first. With more people connecting to you, that means you have more peers to grab data from. Which in the end, means you'll get stuff faster.

That's odd, I had poked holes through for BT, wonder what's going on over there.

But then again, I've been having problem with Azureus lately. In fact it crashed this morning and took a piece of Edit Droid's ANH with it. Azureus was able to check 99% of it but the crash fubared something so if someone could seed for just a second on that, it'd be much appreciated.

From http://www.thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents:

"And here's a little something that's very interesting: Our friend Arnaud Calistri, who runs the DVDRama.com website in France, e-mailed me yesterday to say that Fox France has confirmed with him that the original versions of the Star Wars films to be released on DVD there will be in anamorphic widescreen (enhanced for widescreen 16x9 TVs). As many of you know, they were announced for release here in the States and elsewhere in non-anamorphic (letterboxed) widescreen only, causing a furor among fans (and rightly so). This news, if true, means one of two things: Either Lucasfilm quickly got their act together when fans complained and created new anamorphic masters for the DVD release everywhere (and it just hasn't been announced here in the States yet), or France is getting better DVDs that the rest of the world. If they DID get their act together, expect Lucasfilm's fan relations guru, Steve Sansweet, to make a massive deal about it the company's Star Wars panel at Comic-Con next week. If they DIDN'T get their act together, and France IS getting better discs, expect fans to make a massive deal about it. We'll ask all the right people to see if we can find out the truth of the matter. Of course, we'll let you know."

All right, you primitive screw-heads, listen up!

From http://thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents:

"And on the high-def front, Universal will release HD-DVD/DVD combo versions of Army of Darkness and Fast Times at Ridgemont High on 10/3 as well (SRP $34.98 each). We've updated the High-Def Release List accordingly."

Wonder if there will be anything on that disc of use to you...

Can't wait to see this project!

For some reason, I'm downloading really fast from the seeders but not uploading at all. Not connected to any peers. Yet I am uploading other torrents. Anyone else have this?


Are you connected to peers and just not seeding at all? Then you probably just don't have any parts that any peers need at this point in time. Just stay connected and eventually some new peers will connect and you can seed them then.

Or are you only connected to seeders and not connected to any peers? I suppose it is possible (however unlikely) that there are only seeders left on this torrent and you are the only peer. (Lucky you! ) Or maybe check your connection settings. Are you limiting the number of connections per torrent? Are all those connections being consumed by connections to seeders?

Just saw your comment over on myspleen about the "ORIGINAL SYNCHRONIZATION VERSION". I read through the comments but it's still not exactly clear to me what that means. What would be the difference with this new version? Should I wait to download that one or just grab what is already out on myspleen?

Looking forward to it. Big thanks for the really cool looking project.
