Martii helped me to set up a BitTorrent seed. Now you can Meet the Gimp at Pirate Bay.

    Rolf/Martii – great idea.
    Just FYI I used Firefox extension DownThemAll to select all 16 episodes simultaneously and opened them all with Azureus (an absolutely fantastic shareware Bittorrent client) and they’ve been downloading now for 10 minutes with ETA of between 1 hour and 9 hours.

    From the Auzureus GEO-MAP I’m receiving from France, Germany, Poland and the USA.

    Rolf or Martii – if you can post the details of how to CREATE a seed (I’ve never done this before) I’ll seed the files for each episode.

    I’ve got:
    mtg005.zip
    mtg006.zip
    mtg009.zip
    mtg010.zip
    mtg012.zip
    mtg013.zip
    mtg015.zip
    mtg016.zip

    Regards … Alec

    You should create an RSS Feed with those torrent files, with a software like Miro it would be possible to load that feed and download via bitorrent

    Alec:
    With bittorrent as soon you start downloading you start seeding… when downloads are complete just keep them where they are and you are a seeder :D

    More seeds there are, faster download for everyone…

    Of courrrse we mussst get the files with the images also on the torrrent! Arrrr! (Sipping some Rum) Marrrrtii: On your machine too?

    Alec: Just download files using rtorrent – when finished you become a seed ;)

    Alec BTW: on Windows I use uTorrent and under Linux rtorrent. I don’t like Azureus as it’s Java – slow and memory hungry ;)

    nEJC – I was talking about the files (the ones containing XCF’s and JPG’s) which need an initial seed source.

    Marii – I’ll have a look at uTorrent. I’d started with shareaza and only found Azureus when I had shareaza problems and its Wiki directed users to Azureus to resolve a problem I was having with partially downloaded files. Once I found it I no longer had any interest in resolving my original shareaza problem! :-)

    At least on my machine Azureus isn’t “heavy” enough to cause any problems.

    Rolf: for now I’ll leave getting the example files seeded to you and Martii.

    I had got as far as getting a DYNDNS setup per: http://azureuswiki.com/index.php/HostAndShareYourTorrents but got distracted by real-life before getting it completed.

    FWIW – I got all the movies in just a couple of hours (I had them all already – I just wanted to see how the process went) except for mtg-016 which I only got 8.8% when I had to reboot for other reasons. I’ll leave it running to see if the rest turns up (and to be a good netizen and provide an additional source for mtg-01 thru mtg-15)

    I’ll put the examples on Martii’s machine too. And I’ll put them on the tracker at Piratebay too. One directory, much easier. Sometimes this weekend.

    Hi Rolf/Martii
    Just FYI – I started all the mtg-0nn.zip’s simultaneously 1 hr 38 min ago (now-2007-10-29 20:23)
    Results:
    mtg010.zip ALL
    mtg012.zip 6-MB of 58 MB (1 seeder) 4-5 KB/second
    others – nothing – no seeders
