WoW, that file's huge! At the speed it's going I'll have the file between 3 and 5 days (shame the speed isn't a bit faster).

Thanks for the share bandit.

i know maybe i should have split it a little bit up;) but well now you get at least everything.. website programming is still going on... maybe for the next few years;)

uppseee sorry had a ul limitation.. so now speeds up too 150 KB/s should be possible sorry folks;)

Will click on it myself when I get in

If peeps aren't on torrents and want the goodies, I'll stick 'em on DVDs when the file is down.

I use Shareaza for bitorrents since i'm too lazy to download and install a proper client. It's telling me someone's already completed the file!!!

Unless it just means they've completed a particular bit of the file, who knows.

I just was thinking a kind of index would be maybe nice too.. so here the far from complete
index of the Hang Loose archive (lot's of stuff missing in the index, you have to find a little
bit out what's where and so on, but guess you will make it.. and aehm sorry it's a excel file)

have fun

I am also downloading it and sharing it to the limit of the mediocre NTL upstream here. (200 kbits/s).
At this rate, I should have it down just in time for Christmas

ho ho ho

I try to download it too, but 1 day further and I have 0.8 kb downloaded. There are some tracker problems

PaulB · Post by **PaulB** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 5:49 pm

Got 13.5% (913 megs) so far. Only showing 6 sources now and alternating between 4kbs and active (i.e. no download).

keili · Post by **keili** » Thu Oct 27, 2005 5:57 pm

833 megs here.
It's for the patient of us

Good job I'm away for the next few nights .. it might be halfway by Sunday

14.2% so far ..

Fluctuates between 1K and 10K.. then it'll jump to 20K for a bit and then head back to the lower figures.

But upping at 25-30K almost all the time.

Well Mate, no point us BOTH hogging the limited bandwidth of nice Mr. Bandit's PC is there

, if you send me the completed archive I promise to put it straight into my Shareaza and power share it for as long as it took you to download it. (unless it takes you longer than a month

).
And I may even sent 2 copies out to 2 lucky folk from here, and if they in turn sent out 2 copies each and same again and so on then it would only take 33 turns for the entire planet population to own a copy!! (assuming the current population is about 6 billion

)

mabye the mongo56.org is not the best tracker...ul rate stays between 50-60 KB/s useally I can pump up till 150 kb/s... guess you all have to wait a little till more people have downloaded everything and seed it maybe a litte so speed should be no problem anymore.. hope you have fun with the collection.. there's maybe a lot of duplicated and already online from other ftp's but maybe you will find some goodies (like some apps)

have a nice night..

Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me

You are all correct......it definitely is too slow for downloading the one huge file, even on broadband.

bandit · Post by **bandit** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 7:58 am

you just have to wait a little till everybody get a piece of the download.. then it should get faster;)

Post by **Mug UK** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 8:00 am

Had to pause my one last night to get some other work done online, but switched it back on before hitting the sack.

It'll be worth it in the end ..

keili · Post by **keili** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 9:41 am

I have no problem with huge download, even if they take a month

This is the only torrent I;ve had real problems downloading... keep getting errors after a couple of minutes at around 7Mb... so I;ve given up & will be knocking on Mug's door for a dvd

PaulB · Post by **PaulB** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 1:03 pm

Just hope Muggie's got a dual layer burner cos it won't fit on a single layer (4.7gb) disc.

16.4% d/l so far and the speeds got a bit faster now 14kbs-21kbs.

Yep

But at still stupid prices for the blank discs, I will probably be looking to prune some of the repeated items (if they're are any) and then look at splitting into 2 selections to make it fit onto 2 x DVD-Rs

Oh

, maybe because i've changed the limitations in my torrent client this morning?
Usually i like to keep some bandwidth for myself, but this is something different
