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.
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.
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)
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

I’ve got:

mtg010.zip
mtg012.zip
mtg013.zip
mtg015.zip
mtg016.zip

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
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?
Who knows how to set up a RSS feed for that? Up to now all feeds for meetthegimp are just filled out forms….

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

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.

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.

And now they are on!
