BitLord and BitComet appear to be nearly identical. Is one better than the other, and are both better than BitTorrent? BitTorrent is downloading my fils much slower than Comet.

I just removed the firewall, but I didn't notice much difference and reactivated it. It's down to only 8 days now.

I have another question: Are the most common torrents (pre SE LD rip) the ones where you DON'T see Leia welding in TESB? If so, I already have them on disc.

I'm looking for a complete torrent of the Definitive Collection, if such a thing exists outside LD format. I know Leia welding isn't a huge deal, but it won't feel complete without that scene.

I'm definitely an old-school, Greedo-shoots-first Star Wars fan, but I also appreciate some things in the special editions, like the improved sound, picture, and explosion effects (Alderaan, Death Star(s), etc.)

My question is, is there a way to combine the original LD/DVD transfers with the newly-released, official DVDs and make a custom set? If so, what software would be needed?

I would try to keep as much of the remastered DVDs in the project as possible, while replacing or deleting certain scenes like Greedo shoots first, Jabba's palace, Anakin's ghost, and the Ewok scene at the end of ROTJ. Most other things I can deal with (Mos Isley is iffy...Mos Isley Jabba would DEFINITEY have to go).

I'm currently a new IT multimedia student, so I can get any necessary software at a discounted price.

I think I'm slowly getting the hang of this.

So far it's been 20 minutes, and it still says Bit Torrent: 0.0%, 7 KB/s, 25 days remaining?

Is it normal for such torrents to take a month to download? I have Verizon DSL which is pretty fast in my area.

Oh, and thanks for the link, Rikter.

I hate to sound like a noob, but I've been trying to download the pre SE ld transfer torrents for over an hour.

Everytime I click on 'download' and try to save, it says the file is only about 43 KB, which is a FAR dry from the actual 44 MB. It then downloads in about a second and doesn't recognize the file.

Cany anyone give me some pointers? I tried doing a search and didn't come up with much.
