The Big Download Race
 

I'm currently 3.2% complete with an average speed of 32Kbps. 1d 20hrs to go.

2.6% with 43,8 kbps. Once a few people finish leeching, download speed will go up. There are a few people close to halfway now. Peestie. :mad:

:laugh:

45.3% done, so I should have it ready to watch by the time I wake up tomorrow. My speed is fluctuating between 45kbps and 75kbps.

Can't wait! :)

:D:xoxo:

I'm glad y'all are finally able to start the process. :thumbsup:

I'm hoping mine comes in the mail by tomorow. I'm going nuts! :]

Im dyin to see this!!!

I feel like a child at christmas time :thumbsup:

Woo! 62.1%!! I cannot wait to watch this and rip the audio so that I can listen to it on-the-go! :D

I have 30% down with no seeds connected but 1 in the swarm. Not sure how long this is going to end up taking.

I know!! I'm excited to have the audio too!! :blob2::blob2::blob2:

Nice, speed just went up to 140 kbps. It'll be done in 4 hours. I can burn it in the morning and watch it at work.

I'm confused. What is everyone downloading..?

The Fort Worth show that was shown on HDNet from The Traders' Den.

And I'm finished now!! I just wish I didn't have to go to lectures now!!

About the download from Trader's Den and torrents in general.
I've started d/l about 18 hours ago and am now at 24 percent.(estimated finishing time in about 1 day and 18 hours)
There are about 57 people connected and i'm only downloading from about 10 of them, and i'm wondering why that is. Logically i should be d/l from more sources than just 10, so are those 47 remaining fire-walled or something?
As far as i know (with utorrent at least) you cannot adjust your settings to only download and not upload as this would be against the philosophy of the system.

I'm on Azureus and I've adjusted my upload rate to about 80% of its maximum. It makes the download faster for me anyway, and I bet those 50 other people are doing the same.

Of course all of them will remain seeding this once they're done, right? ;)

They must be. Need to dig in deeper in utorrent, see if i can do that too.

Right ! And if not, all hell breaks loose :p

Mine finished a few hours ago. Woot. :woohoo:

hate u :mad: - find your own husband :p

I volunteer.

:lol::lol:

I've ripped the audio. Now I just need to cut it up and I'll upload it on ThrownDown some time today or tomorrow. I'll also post the mp3s of it here for those who don't do torrents.

I can't get it to work. Is there a particular media player I should be using?

I don't think I do torrents, so that would be really appreciated. Can't wait to hear this concert again!

You already have a girlfriend! ;)

Vanessa :what do you use (Azureus, Bittorrent,Utorrent other?) (And Otto wants to know which dutch provider you have :) )

Sure you can... Open your utorrent window, and right click on the torrent that's downloading and scroll down to properties... You'll see it.

Gonna give that a try when i get home tonight.Thanks !

I use the latest version of Azureus and my provider is Versatel ADSL. 20mb/s for only 25 euro a month, baby. It's fast. ;)

and i assume that's unlimited :eek:. hmmmm...maybe we should move up north a bit ;)

Yeah, unlimited. I never understood those weird Belgian providers and their bandwidth/download limit. We've never had that here.

That makes me a boyfriend, not a husband.

:lol:

Good point! In that case, I should drop by to give you the dvd instead of mailing it. :laugh:

It worked !:xoxo: :xoxo: :blob1:
I've never downloaded so fast : 220 kB/s ! it was amazing
Had to fight my husband over this though. He claims i'm cheating if i do this and in a way he may be right.If everyone does this, it takes us all a lot longer to download i guess. I got the most kB/s from a japanese source (about 100 kB/s) and the rest in bits and pieces from the others, mostly not more than 5 or 6 kB/s. And about half of the sources "gave" nothing at all which means,i guess, that they only download and have their upload blocked.
Now that i have completed downloading, i'm leaving the computer on untill i have a share ratio of at least 1, cause that seems no more than fair.But what struck me this morning, is that everyone who was at 100 pct last night, have now gone. Some may have had a share ratio of 1 or more on this torrent, but i really doubt all of them had. And that just p*ss*s me off big time :mad:
