Doc, scorp, soccer, and Mark check your inbox. To those downloading, are you guys getting a good connection to the peers. The first one I dled was a green connection (AZ) and I was getting about 2.3 MB/s down. The last two I queued up I was only getting yellow and about 130KB/s down. All three were with about 2 seeds. Thanks.

And the more people that leave their torrent client running after they have finished getting the disks, the quicker it will be for others....more people seeding the less individuals will be uploading. :)

Please PM me as well with the FTP site/password/instructions. Thanks!

Me too, please...

Requesting FTP information if its still okay.

I would like the info as well please, thanks!

I'm an old skool torrent user with some really decent bandwidth.

If someone could PM or E-mail me the info/torrents, I'd be happy to download and co-host the torrents for a few weeks.

Funny, I came to the forums today to see if anyone had a guide as to how to make a good demo disc. It looks like everyones already done it! LOL

Info Please!

I would also like the info, thank you!

Would appreciate the same access please pm me......

Well, I went looking for demo discs today and can't believe I had never seen this before either. Please shoot me a pm with download details. Thanks in advance.

lonely check your PM.

Thanks for the info guys. I'll host the files to aid in download speed for a few weeks. It's only fair that I contribute as much as I've taken for myself. And I hope others do the same as well!

Thanks!

Can someone send me the ftp info please? I have an Enlightened Audio sub coming and am getting giddy.
Norm

I guess I am also 4 years late to the Demo Tree party, could someone please PM me the DL information? Thanks in advance!

-Sam

I'd also appreciate it!!!

Adding my name to those requesting the information as well. Some time ago I had access to the older site, but have since lost track. Please PM the updated information. Thank you!

I've got the inlaws visiting this weekend and would
love to have something to demo in our basement theater.
Please PM the FTp username and password.

THanks again.

I would appreciate a PM for the ftp or a torrent source as well please.

Thanks!

Please PM torrent or ftp info.

Thanks!

Edit: Willing to seed once I get some material :)

I would appreciate a PM too. I have a lot of bandwidth to spare.

WOW! So many new requests in couple of days. I will turn on my 'seeder' tonight. :)

I would like info on how to procure these demo disks as well. Thanks.

Put me on the long list of wanting the info also. Thanks in advance...this is such a great forum!

Can someone please PM with me the ftp or torrent site so I can download and share these too!

Looking for download/ftp/or torrent link.

Thanks!

Could You please PM me with the info

Thanks

Well I downloaded the torrent file for D27 but it looks like there are no seeders out there. I downloaded and enjoyed many of these demos back in "the old days" of the original FTP site, but now it appears a bit harder.

I really really really want to see Victor's latest. Can someone set me up?

You are really great!!!!

Could You please PM me with the info too?

Thank you.

hmmm, are we all waiting for a PM, or are we supposes to go out somewhere to DL a torrent, forgive my ingorance, I am just waiting to hear back from someone on how and where to DL the demos, thanks

OK

I just PMed about 20 of you from the last week - check your inbox.

If one of you would plow over to my house and shovel some snow, I'd have more time to respond to PM requests...

:)

I thought I was seeding D27. I will check this evening. I usually turn it on after 9 PM PT and turn it off at 6 AM PT.

Can I get this info as well? Thanks...

Thanks Recon (and Randy). I got the info. Actually my torrent found some seeders tonight and started downloading. Thanks inphoenix.

I'm flying up to No Va on Wednesday for work, I hope you guys have that snow cleared out by the time I arrive ;-) Us Texan's don't like that stuff at all.

Please PM me the info as well, and thank you very much!

Yeah, I'm struggling for D23 through D27 with Torrents. I'm all about sharing these, and I've been seeding for over a week now as promised...but these last few are just dead.

Seed 'em if you've got 'em!


EDIT: D26 is dead, and D27 is at 6.5k

I'm going to try CuteFTP and if they come down faster, I'll dump them in my Seed folder and hopefully that will help ya'll out.

Can someoene PM me the info. as well. I can help with the seeding also, since I'm familiar with torrents/ftp..


Thanks,

Soul..

Can you add me to the list to PM the info. Wowww I have not been on this thread since I got D1 - D5....lol

can i get a PM as well for the info for downloading these.

thanks

Please PM me with info for downloading the Demos as well. Thanks very much.

I was seeding D27 but after almost 2 days I only had 70% of it. I didn't have much traffic on my PC. I think the population of people just won't meet critical mass for torrents to be very successful. I have VOIP phone service and when I'm seeding my phone quality sucks. So to seed a lot of these full time is not practical, especially for those with up link limitations.

Hey Victor, you out-did yourself on D27. Great job! A ton of clips (almost 40) and great sound tracks. Well authored too with even a little bonus section. The THX intro shakes the house!

I tried a brief attempt to author a disc and gave up, I know this takes a lot of effort and skill to do it this well. Thanks Victor!

I'm curious, I noticed most of the sound tracks were DD 48k, is this a choice to fit more on the disc?

Thanks for the kind words. To be honest, I think that 38-40 tracks is pretty much the max I would do for a demo disc. I don't know how it ended up at 48k (I'll simply guess that fewer tracks will result in a higher bitrate or the dvd-lab pro defaults to 48k)

Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed as much as I authored it.Took long enough, too:D

Victor

Demo Tree PM Request.

Thankyouverymuch.:cool:

Demo Tree PM request. Thanks.

After 2 years on here, now is when I find out about these disc. Anybody care to pm me the links?

Thanks

**Thanks for the fast reply reconlabtech**

Ditto, thanks for the fast reply.

I ftp'd D27 today, and just played about 1/3 of it. Wow.

That THX intro really does rock the house!

Thanks, this is cool stuff!

Are there any of the others that I must have?....don't really want to d/l 26 more. :)

Could any one PM me about the ftp for the disc? Thanks a bunch!

Pls PM me the info as well.

Thanks in advance.

Please PM me the Info as well!!! Thanks alot!!

Please PM me the info for the disk.

Thanks!

Another ME TOO!

Thanks very much.

Same here...Pls PM me the details. Tks

An awful lot of people here demanding others to PM them with the details on getting them.

How about PM'ing the appropriate people directly yourself, as it might be a whole lot quicker for you. :)

Hey downloaders!

Enjoy while you can. An impending chapter 11 filing may knock out my ftp service. I'm going to keep things going until then but if it goes down, it could be a week or two minimum before things come back up.

SEED YOUR ISO files

Now I know that some of you have said you don't want to take a hit on the bandwidth.

GUESS WHAT? YOU DON'T HAVE TO!

Set your maximum upload in your torrent client to 32kb or 48kb or 64kb. You don't need to give a lot. A little goes a long way BUT WE NEED MORE SEEDERS!!!

If you can give a half a day at a time or even just 4 hours a day at a LOW SPEED, that's better than none. I know guys who run folding@home on their machines 24/7 just for virtual points. I have over a million myself. Get those seeds going!

I have all the ISOs on an external drive so if the ftp goes down, I will seed ALL the ISOs until another FTP can be setup.

Here's an idea: Get yourself a cheap bare hard disk and mail it to me. I will copy all the ISOs you want onto it and mail it back.

I can even mail a drive out with all the ISOs to the first person who will be willing to then mail it to another person who is also willing to do the same.

A community survives by everyone in it kicking in what they can where they can.

What's the total GB for all the ISOs? Would one (or two) big USB flash disks be big enough to hold them all?

I turn on my seeder at nights but I am not hosting all ISOs.

I turn on my seeder at nights but I am not hosting all ISOs.

A 120GB drive will hold all the ISOs if you drop a couple of the trailer disks.

Even if you just seed D27, that would help.

Do what YOU can, that's all anyone can ask! :)

I'll take u up on this offer. I think this is an awesome idea.

Please PM me the information. I can't say thanks enough.

I've been advised by my co-lo provider that they have to throttle my connection to that machine which has the iso's on it, which means it'll be much slower than ever now.

This means you guys had better get those iso's seeding as much as you can in order to spread the load..... actually, there isn't much load at all if we get more people doing it.


Edit: They've advised me that I'm using in excess of 80% of their total bandwidth with that server !

please PM me for the BT link
I'll help out w/ the seeding

Tq

I noticed that. I was trying to download couple of ISOs yesterday and noticed that it was really slow.

We need to get a core group together who would turn on the seeds every night or whenever they get a chance. Count me in for nightly seed.

Here is what I have.

C1-Demo.iso
D17-KidDemo.ISO
D19-LOTR-DTS.iso
D2-LFE-Demo.iso
D20-AllStarWars.ISO
D21-LFE-Demo2.iso
D27-Demo.iso
D4-DD-Demo.iso
D5-All-In-One-Demo.iso
D6v2-DTS-Demo.iso
D7-DD-Demo1.iso
D8-DD-Demo2.iso
D24-Demo.iso

I'm glad to receive the demo disc as well... it is very cool and nice to share within the community tho.

I hate to say PM me the details, but am not sure who is actually pm'ing the info......otherwise I'd send you a PM.

I've got 1-23, but kind of lost track of this thread the last few months.... heard 27 is great!

Hello friends I am tiklu from India.

I am new to the community so don't know whether pasting links is allowed or not; as an avid home theatre and stuffs lover I would like share some links with friends over here if allowed.

I can give the links to DTS DEMO DISC - 1, DTS DEMO DISC - 9, DTS DEMO DISC -10, THX SURROUND SOUND DEMO DISC 2 AND FEW OTHERS.

Please let me know if I am allowed to paste links here.

Could someone please PM me the download info as well?

Thanks much!!

CanI get the info in PM? I will get them seeded as well. (every little bit helps!)
-Matt

Pls PM me the info too :)

After a few years lurking on these forums, I just found this :eek:

Could someone PM the info please, I'd be more than happy to seed.

Thanks in advance

I sent PM's to a couple of folks but being the impatient type I thought I'd ask in here as well. Also, is there a descriptive list of the versions somewhere?

Thanks Shadowcaster! Can someone also PM the link please? Thanks!

Anyone having any luck downloading the actual files? I get no seeds or peers. Am I doing something wrong?

You should see one or two seeds for every single one as those are the main hosts. Some people turn on seeds only at night. But most everything is REALLY slow these days.

Which one are you looking for?

It is indeed slow on FTP now. My connection keep getting disconnected. I managed to DL demo27 and seeding now....but my PC is not up whole day.

Could someone please PM me a link to the torrent, I'll be happy to seed.

If you use an ftp client you can configure it to automatically restart any lost connection.

The web browser makes a very bad ftp client!



I just PMed about 10 more people.

Please PM me the info as well. I have unlimited bw usage. So I will allow everyone else to seed from me if they want.

I plan on seeding once I dl. I'll seed at certain times and be sure to post when on here so people will know and can try to download.

Most likely my seed times will be 11:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. pacific tues-sat though that may vary.

Getting some consistent seed times may help with the downloading.

If we get sufficient people seeding these disks, and people stop downloading the iso's via ftp, but get them by torrents instead, then they should start flying around the place. :)

So it's really up to everyone in here to contribute, and clearly we're starting to see that this is starting to happen already, but we still need more people to be seeding. :)

If I can ask those that are ftp'ing the iso's from my server, to please try and just grab the torrent files instead, as that'll free up bandwidth for those trying to seed the torrents. :)

I'm on the dl torrent-wise. A lot are missing! If anyone can seed at least to 100% or pm/post times when you can I'm willing to just keep these seeding 24/7 with a cap and uncap at the times I specified.

I didn't realize how little seeds there were!

Anyone post these on demonoid or other private torrent sites? Anyone against that? If only posting them onto a private site we would get a better response seeding-wise.

Since yesterday afternoon I've had 0 for 0 peers. Could be a problem on my end but my client is saying my connection is clean through the firewall. Are the trackers up?

Since yesterday afternoon I've had 0 for 0 peers. Could be a problem on my end but my client is saying my connection is clean through the firewall. Are the trackers up?

Tracker is up and running, and I'm also seeding 24/7 from my home link to help spread the load a bit.

I'm only seeing 3 or so seeds running at the most per iso.

ahah so your the aussy who I was dling from last night.:D

I have an Idea, not sure if this was already brought up or not. What if, instead of having 30+ different disks we had one dual layer disk, with material that was voted on. Then we could have different editions, like AVS Demo Edition 1. Make it a dual layer so you have 8 gb's of room, and put out a new one or revised one when needed or on some type of annual basis? That was there is only one (slightly larger) file to track and seed.

Currently seeding D22, Downloading D5.

I am new to torrent and would like to get some of these discs. I am more than willing to seed when needed, just let me know how to access the demo discs so I can get started. Thanks, Brian

I would like some good discs. I heard 27 is good and I'm not sure on the others. I just downloaded Torrent on my Mac and need to know where to go from there. Can someone PM me?

Hey all. I haven't come back to this forum in a while, but I saw all the traffic and decided to read up on what's going on.

I have a few of the DVDs still on my HDD, so I'll start seeding them tonight if I can remember. I can seed from about 11pm to 5pm EDT during the week and 11pm to 9am EDT on weekends.

Can any kind soul help a midwest guy out?

I would love to get a copy of #19, 20, and #27.

I do not have the ability to burn dvds right now.

Someone helped me back in the begining. but I was able to ask a neighbor to make a couple copies to send to other avs'ers.

They moved! So I cannot pass along copies.

Help!:o

I have all the torrents active right now so any bit I download can be leeched. Bandwidth with all of them active has never hit more than 250 kB/s up and down (combined) so I will continue to just leave it on 24/7 until it picks up, then I may have to limit it a bit, but I'll still have times where I'll uncap it.

ahah so your the aussy who I was dling from last night.:D

Yep, that's me.

Not only is slow downloading them across the Pacific, my co-lo provider has decided since I'm using in excess of 80% of their bandwidth, they are now throttling my connection. :(

All the more reason for people to only grab the torrents.zip file, then use a torrent client to grab them that way, as it will make it quicker to download the .iso's.

I'm assuming that you are using the .torrent files obtained from either my site or reconlabtech's site ?


If so, then hopefully people will stop downloading the .iso files directly from my site, and then start grabbing them with a torrent client instead. Because if people are using up all my now restricted bandwidth ftp'ing the disks, it takes bandwidth away from the torrent tracker.

Anyway, let's hope we can get people across to the torrents, as it will make it quicker for everyone to grab the disks in the end. :)

Still 0 for 0 peers and yes, I know other torrents are working fine.

I grabbed the torrent files from both bpratt and recon so I would think the trackers are accurate. Anyone have any ideas? Is it just that no one is seeding what I'm looking for?

Currently looking for D21 and D23.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what your torrent client problem is, I have been seeding nearly all the demo disks since about 7pm EDT today.

So now I'm seeding AND providing ftp...

You should see one or two seeds for every single one as those are the main hosts. Some people turn on seeds only at night. But most everything is REALLY slow these days.

Which one are you looking for?
Mainly the DTS and LFE ones. Thank you for any help.

Can you please pm me the bt links thanks.

I have a few of the DVDs still on my HDD, so I'll start seeding them tonight if I can remember. I can seed from about 11pm to 5pm EDT during the week and 11pm to 9am EDT on weekends.

I guess I only have 1 ISO, so I'm seeding it - D2-LFE; and DLing and seeding the other three D2-LFE, D24-Demo, D27-Demo.

I'll add whatever is most popular.

As I am trying to download all of them, I left all on. Came home from work just now and D27 was taking up about 200 kB/s by itself on upload! Sorry had to cut you off, but I want to use my interwebz for a bit, ha ha. Will start all once again as soon as I go to bed.

D27 is the only one I am 100% at so that one is now just seeding. D13-15 have all gotten to 33% and a few other around 10%.

Keep them coming!

(And yes I am using the torrent files provided on the FTP :D)

could anyone pm me for the ftp to download ? Thanks

I have 13 of these and I'll try to download the rest from Reconlabtech before his site goes down. But I can only seed at a low bandwidth because it really impacts my VOIP when I have a high uplink. I can probably seed at higher rates over night and during work hours during work days.

It would be nice if we could get enough seeders but honestly these files are so large that even a few seeders will take days to get one file.

I'm also not sure if I have a monthly uplink or downlink limit. I guess I'm going to find out!

Okay dumb question.... if I get the torrent files from bpratt or from reconlabtech, does it make a difference as far as me seeding the iso files? Are they the same torrent files? Or can I just make torrent files myself that will somehow link into the other torrent files. I'm not a very experienced torrent user.

It's great that you seed at a low bandwidth, as you are helping out, and the more people that seed at even at low bandwidth, will help out. :)

The torrent files from my site or from reconlabtech's site are the same files that I initially created.

In order for torrents to work, they must be the same torrent files everywhere, as they point to the same torrent tracker and file crc's.

I've hopped on at random times and watched my dl and ul. Looking great! Got some crazy download speeds every once in awhile. Since I started I actually finished D17, D21, D27, and D6v2 are now just seeding.

D9v2 and C1 are both at 90% so those will go into just seeding soon also.

Working my way up :D

Can someone please send me the torrent link thanks.

pm someone and you just get ignored :confused:

Be real, some people have a life above and beyond a forum, and we're doing this on our own dime.

So why has the person who I PM'ed written a comment on here since then ?

I have downloaded d21 and d27 and have been seeding them ever since. I would like to get more but some of the discs have no seeders. Is there a chance we could get a list of those seeding what and when? I am willing to seed 24/7 but I only have the 2 discs at this time. Let me know, Brian.

Be real, some people have a life above and beyond a forum, and we're doing this on our own dime.

+1.

I can understand a new person's frustration with not being able to get their hands on the info/ISOs. But I want you to know that there are many of us who do appreciate your hard work and time you've put into this.

I have seen quite a few seeders at night these days. Some people do seed during the day as well. Remember that even if you have an ISO that is not complete, you can still seed it. I seed all of them at night PT. A few are complete and rest are not.

Every little bit helps. Even if you are on a slow connection turn it on at night.

Can someone please PM me with the torrent info? I will seed them as well.

Thanks!

Currently seeding d27 and almost done with d5 and d2 to seed. Seeding 24/7

Thanks guys. I am currently seeding 21, 27, 26, 16 24/7.

In order for torrents to work, they must be the same torrent files everywhere, as they point to the same torrent tracker and file crc's.

Thanks, that is kind of what I thought. I'm not seeding anything just yet as I'm trying to grab more iso's then I need to set up my home sever as a seeder. I'm only able to get 2-3 per day. I've already maxed out the hard drive on my laptop downloading.

Hey Could you please PM me the Torrent link, I will seed them as well.

Thanks.

So why has the person who I PM'ed written a comment on here since then ?

Sorry! That was me. I never check my pm anywhere, slickdeals, avs, tweakcity, ed, etc...

Plus I'm new to this thread so I didn't know if I should be sending out pm's with the info.

Can anyone share their burning options and a how-to for the new imgburn?

Can someone please PM me the torrent info as well?

I am happy to reseed.

Can someone please send me the torrent info. Will certainly help seed. Thanks!

Please send me a PM with the torrent link for the demo ISO. Thank you in advance. :)

Can someone PM the torrent link as well! :)

Hate to be a bother, but I cant figure this one out. I have found 7 of the disc that I want(using vuse) and they are on my HD as rar archives. Properties says that the files are all there by size, but when I try to open them I get this message: Can not open file 'C:\Documents and Settings blah blah blah \D25-GuyPlex.iso as archive.
Ive tried several different rar programs including 7-zip and get the same message.
Any ideas? I'm just about ready to give up on this. LOL

Why are you trying to use rar on them. They are not rar archives.

These are image files (ISO). Just use a program to burn them on DVD as an image. Or use VLC media player or any other ISO player if you want to watch them on computer and see what is in there.

I fully realize they "should" play, but when I try to open them with KMPlayer they freeze it up or with VLC it plays 20 seconds of nothing without even bringing up a video window. I'm flummoxed.

Are you sure they are .iso images? You probably need the Vuze software to play them on a PC.

Can someone also pm me the links to the demo ISOs. Thanks in advance

Can someone PM me the torrent link please? I'll leave it seeding all day everyday. =)

I'll be away for the next week to 'play' trackside with the Formula One cars in Melbourne, so if anyone PM's me for the disks, will have to wait till then for a reply.

As long as I don't pick up any objects painted orange off the F1 cars, I should be back in a week. :)

Hate to be a bother, but I cant figure this one out. I have found 7 of the disc that I want(using vuse) and they are on my HD as rar archives. Properties says that the files are all there by size, but when I try to open them I get this message: Can not open file 'C:\Documents and Settings blah blah blah \D25-GuyPlex.iso as archive.
Ive tried several different rar programs including 7-zip and get the same message.
Any ideas? I'm just about ready to give up on this. LOL

The latest verison of winrar should have no problem extracting an .ISO image file. If you are having trouble extracting them perhaps the are buried too deep in your directory structure (i.e. C\Documents & Settings/DennyH/My Stuff/My home Theatre/DVD/Demo Dics/AVS Demo Demo Discs)
Winrar will not extract them if they filenames or path name is too long.
If this is the case simply move the .ISO files directly to the root of your C:\ drive and extact them from there.
Hope this helps!

Can someone PM me the link as well? I'm a longtime lurker and just recently came back to the site. I will seed them.

While you're gone I'll continue to seed:

D9v2
D8
D7
D6v2
D27
D21
D17
D15
D14
D13
C1

are all done and on full seed.

D5 and D12 are close. (>90%)

D20, D2, D26, and D4 are all > 50%

The rest are below 50% the smallest being all of the T's with <5%

Right now I am seeding everything I have and leeching whatever comes up. 24/7 unless I am using the PC for gaming.

if somebody can PM me the torrent link(s) as well, I would be more than happy to seed..

bpratt, I have both Guyplex and Guyplex51 iso files. I think Guyplex51 is the updated version of Guyplex. But there is only a torrent for Guyplex and none for Guyplex51. Do you have a torrent for Guyplex51?

Does anybody have the correct dvd label for demo 26 as the one on ftp server is for demo 27 ?

Speedracer, the difference between the 2 is that when I originally uploaded Guyplex to swithey's server, someone pointed out that the Jurassic Park clip's audio was 2 ch, not Dolby 5.1 as it was supposed to be.
So I reauthored that one clip to the correct audio and uploaded it as Guyplex51 (ie, 5.1). Other than that, they are identical. I thought that Swithey was going to delete the original, however, as you know, it's still there. I'd create the torrent for you if I knew what was used to make it.

Does anybody have the correct dvd label for demo 26 as the one on ftp server is for demo 27 ?
I just downloaded both, and they are both correct.

bpratt2 has the wrong cover that's why.

I've been able to download 7 ISOs so far - they are pretty sweet.

If anyone who has offered to seed (and is not) and can start doing it... I'm sure it would be appreciated. It appears that many ISOs are only being seeded by a couple people.

I've consistently been uploading torrents (HT demo torrents) at a faster rate than downloading today.. (130 kB+ up)

Ok... sorry for the dumb questions... but I've have all the "D" series .iso images (yes that is 30 iso's including the one "C" demo) and I have all the torrent files from bpratt. Tonight I tried to start seeding D27 as a test file. But I must be doing something wrong. I don't know how to modify bpratt's torrent to make it seed instead of download. So I made a new torrent file to seed the file and pasted in the tracker from bpratt's torrent file. I'm using uTorrent 1.8.2. I set the options to "Start Seeding" and "Private Torrent" but when it tries to contact the tracker it gives me a "No connections could be made because the tracker refuses.." error message.

If I have the .iso how do I set up a seeding only torrent? The help files are not much help. Should I not have made it a Private Torrent? I thought that was the way these were being done.

Thanks.

Is the .iso in the same folder as the torrent file? If I remember correctly, if they are in the same folder and you add the torrent file to utorrent, it will first do a checksum or something on the file which will take forever (ok, 15 minutes) and then start seeding (no download).

Thanks I'll try that. When I made a new torrent file I think it parses the .iso and decides how it is going to chop it up and that did take several minutes.

TELL uTorrent where to download your ISO files in the preferences section - the same folder where they ALREADY ARE. Load all the torrent files and they will run the check and then go to immediate seeding.

Please PM me the torrent links. I would love to demo them!!!!

A PM with the torrent info would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

I'll gladly seed if someone can send me the file.

That did it! I figured it was something obvious like that. Thanks Reconlabtech. I began seeding D27 and it checked the file (which takes awhile) and eventually began seeding to one peer. I'm loading up a few .iso's at a time and see how many I can seed at once.

Is there a torrent client that can run as a background application? I think whenever I log out of the server it shuts down uTorrent.

BTW I have a few .iso's that you don't have on your ftp site. Can't remember which ones. Do you want them?

Okay... after 2 weeks of downloading and figuring out uTorrent I am finally seeding ALL the "D" series .iso's and the one "C" demo. That is 29 files and about 126 GB of .iso's. The hard drive on the computer seeding is only 75 GB so I had to load them up on an external hard drive. But... there is a catch... I limited the upload speed to 40kb/s on weekends and evenings when we're home because the uplink makes our VOIP phone quality unacceptable. But during the weekdays from late evening to 5pm central US time I'm seeding at unlimited uplink. So if you leave your torrents running during the day US time at least I will be seeding you are a higher rate.

As you can see there are several people getting files. Some have a week long wait... sorry. The more people seed the quicker others can download. But I realize it is not practical to think people will seed their received files for the next year or two. Eventually I may have to stop this if it becomes a problem. It is a bit of a pain to keep this running and someday I'm sure I'll stop but I'll do my part for now.

Four of the .iso's I have are bad. GuyPlex, D24, C1, and D19 All Trailers. I tried to download them again but I think they may be bad on Reconlabtech's server.

I attached a screen capture of the files I'm seeding.

Can someone PM me the torrent link please? I'll leave it seeding all day everyday. =)

Anyone? =)

Have most of the D demos apart from d23 d3 d24 and d25
that last one which is going to take up to 5 weeks to finish off with only on one seeder the rest i'm seeding everyday and none stop at the weekends.

I'll post with an update soon, the only problem I have is forgetting to turn my upload limit off when I leave my pc :(

I'll leave me stuff seed as long as I torrent anything they don't add too much from what I normally do. 1.5TB in the pc and 1 TB external for now ;)

Can someone please PM me the torrent links or files?
I know the way to the FTP site (thanks to reconlabtech), but the FTP site is currently down.

Thank you.

Keep your client running. Most of the people I was seeding have dropped off and soon my uplink speed will be unlimited.

Only have d25 guyplex left down speed really fast now :)

I noticed that those ISOs seem to be corrupt or incomplete.

If anyone can upload the good ISOs, let me know and I'll PM the upload account info.

Attention thread subs and demo downloaders.

Saturday at 1:47pm EDT, the server developed a bad drive in the RAID array. I just got the bad drive replaced and the server is rebuilding the array. It is functional but I have locked the ftp service down until tonite AFTER I make a fresh backup.

Then life will return to normal.

Thank me...

:D

I have about a dozen ISOs seeding at home but I noticed nobody was downloading. I also noticed VERY FEW seeders. If you are setup to seed, be sure to remove your ratio limit so that you can seed FOREVER.

Thank you !

BTW, I see above that Guyplex is corrupt. It's the wrong version and should have been deleted. GuyPlex51 has the updated DD5.1 track in the Jurrassic Park clip. When your server is back up, would you please make a torrent for that one. If it's corrupt, I can reup the iso. Thanks

I just deleted the original and I'll check the newer "5.1" version tonite.

BPratt2 will have to make the torrent file.

I would make the torrent file if I knew what program he used to create them.

I'm still seeding these 24/7, though at times I have to limit it to 5 kb/s upload per torrent :(

Night time is uncapped though :)

FTP site is open for downloads.

Somebody figured it out already...

:)

bpratt, I have both Guyplex and Guyplex51 iso files. I think Guyplex51 is the updated version of Guyplex. But there is only a torrent for Guyplex and none for Guyplex51. Do you have a torrent for Guyplex51?

I wasn't aware of there being a new version. If it gets uploaded to my site, I can then create the torrent file for it, and remove the old guyplex iso.

@bpratt
It's not a "new version", it was a replacement/corrected version. Soon after I uploaded the original Guyplex to swithey's ftp back in August 2007, a user caught the fact that the Jurassic Park clip was in 2 ch, not DD 5.1 as it was supposed to be (all the other clips in the iso were 5.1).

I reauthored the iso so that it was correct, renamed it w/the "51" extension and reupped to swithey's site. For some reason the original was never deleted and then both were passed on.

If you pm me the login for uploads, I'd be glad to send it. Or, if Speedracer would rather do it, that's fine too. Just let me know.

now that's me complete!

Great work and thanks to all concerned in making this possible.

A PM with the torrent or FTP info would be most appreciated.

I ftp'd a couple of demos and am trying to seed those and get some more via **********, but I cannot seem to connect to the tracker (getting connection refused). Is it just me?

I cant believe I just came across this thread just now. Can anyone please pm me info on the torrent/ftp info? I have pretty good bandwidth to seed with. Thanks in advance.

Please a PM with the torrent, thanks

I would also like a PM of the torrents please. I can also seed.

Now seeding the D's completely. Also seeding whatever I have of the T's.

Usually 24/7 though during the day it's capped at 5 kb/s each sadly :(

New schedule for when I uncap it.

Going to be seeding uncapped from 11:00ish @ night to 7:00 a.m. Monday-Friday. Otherwise it'll be 5 kb/s though if someone needs something specifically I may be able to uncap specific torrents for requests during the day.

Now seeding the D's completely. Also seeding whatever I have of the T's.


That is cool, could you tell me where I can get the torrents? I got an old ftp site from swithey a long time ago but that does not work any more.

I'd like to get in on this. :) I can leave my computer on almost all day/night long to help with the seeding also.

Am I supposed to ask for a PM to be put into the loop? :)

OK, I see a lot of folks seeding, but I still do not have any torrents. I am looking for D23.

Did anybody ever make full size covers for d21 d22 d23 d24 d6 d27 only find the slim covers ?

I'd like a PM to the torrent as well. Thanks!

From the first post:
To get these discs, send a private message (also known as a PM) to gain access to the ftp site where the discs are stored, PM bpratt2 or squidboy for the details

help us obi-wan, eh I mean bpratt2, you're our only hope, squidboy has not been seen for 5 months. ...and yes I did PM bpratt2 before my last post.

We have not been able to get that first post changed to put reconlabtech in the list of people to PM.

My bandwidth is very tight these days, so torrents is the only real way to get these disks now, unless you ftp them from reconlabtech.


I've just replied to a few PM's with details already.

I have msged several people and have not received a reply... Could someone please PM me the FTP or Torrent links?
Thanks

Wow, I can't believe I've missed this thread. I'm willing to seed once I get the discs if need be.

I just pm'd a few of the folks.

Can some help me out... i will seed 24/7... i really want to get my hand on some good demo material... can some one send me the torrent?

i too would like the torrent. i seed 24/7 so i'll help out =]

Hello,

I am currently downloading the demos, and I'm willing to seed as needed. What would be great is if we could get more individuals to seed. As of last night, only two were seeding. I'm averaging connection speeds of appx 30/kbs at the moment.

I seeded the entire D series (well a few were currupt) for several weeks but had spotty activity. The last week I had zero activity and I had to reboot my server and never re-started the seeding. As I said earlier there is really not a critical mass of people to keep the bit torrent going properly. FTP is the only practical way. Even when I was seeding it would take most of a week to transfer one 4.x GB file. Even FTP takes hours at 500kbs.

I've been trying to connect to the tracker for a few days now, but I've never been able to connect. My client also tried to find peers via DHT, but was never able to find any that way either. Are other people successfully connected to the tracker? I can see that the tracker IP is alive and I can connect on port 80, just not on 6969, which is the port advertised in the torrent files. Is anyone announcing via DHT?

For now I've given up on the torrent and I'm just FTPing directly from reconlabtech.

I decided to add another demo dvd to the collection. I uploaded it via reconlabtech's FTP. Nothing fancy, just the usual explosions, LFE and surround. This one has more of the recently released movies, some old ones and a few music video clips. Here is the summary:

Summary: DD Demo
Author: flsun
Filename: demo1.iso
Size: 4.42GB

-Body of Lies
-Bolt
-Live Free..Die Hard
-Dragon Tiger Gate
-Forbidden Kingdom
-Kung Fu Hustle
-Hitman
-Dark Knight
-Hot Fuzz
-Max Payne
-Punisher: War Zone (2 clips)
-Quantum of Solace
-Smokin' Aces
-Transformers (2 clips)
-Valkyrie
-Phil Collins: Finally..Farewell Tour
-Justin Timberlake: Future Sex Loveshow
-Mariah Carey: Live8

to those interested, the file is at reconlabtech's ftp, in the "other" folder (for now until recon will update the files). All the clips are in DD 5.1 as TMPGenc doesnt do DTS tracks. I tried using DVD Lab but its just not user friendly as TMPG. I am also thinking of doing an all music video demo dvd very soon if I can figure out dvdlab for the dts tracks. For now, hope you all enjoy.

Same here if I can get the torrents I seed 24/7 for a while. Thanks GD

What we need now is a 1080p demo with Hi-Def audio. I don't know what format would be best?

At this stage of things I would really like to see a hi def AVCHD demo disc.

I would do it myself if someone could point me in the right direction for creating the menu set, to play the m2ts files.

I would also like to see a hi def demo disc.

But there are couple of problems with distribution of hi def disc. The ISO image will be much larger as compared to a DVD's ISO image. So it will take way longer for the download.

Second, not many people have a blu ray burner. Someone who has a burner will have to burn the BD and mail it. This will involve media expenses and that person's time.

You may not have understood my post. An AVCHD disc is burned to a standard dvd5 or dvd9 disc.
No BD burner or media required.

A full hour, on a dvd5, of HD demo clips is more than sufficient, IMO, to show off your HT.
Same size as all the other demo discs. I have about 20 of these on both single and dual layer discs.

1280*720 resolution, with an averahe bitrate ~8500 mps. Very nice quality.

Very interesting- so all I need to is a bluray reader, some software to convert blu-ray into avchd (any suggestions on free software), and my existing burner and I'm all set. Will I need to upgrade my pc though, as I'm chugging away quite pleasantly on a 2.0 ghz (don't laugh)?

Correct, Victor. Here's a tutorial >Click (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=134348)< on how to do it along with info on the free software needed. In the instructions, just substitue "*.m2ts " for "MKV".

Yes, the 2.0 processor is not going to hack it. To re encode, to a avchd, takes me about 10hrs, using a 2.44ghz Core 2 Duo with 3 gig of ram. The 2 processor cores run @100% when doing this.

Your are right. I never thought of burning AVCHD on a standard DVD disc. A question though ...... If this can be done for 1280*720, can it be done for 1920*1080 as well? I wonder how many minutes will that hold.

The AVCHD specs calls for standard dvd's, not BD discs.

It can be done for 1920*1080 but, interestingly, the PQ is not as good.
I also found, when I tried it, the picture "stuttered" every few seconds.

Ok folks, flsun's Demo DVD has been moved out to the disk folder and renamed D28-Demo.iso - Download by ftp as no torrent file has been generated for it.

Get it while the getting is good - as I indicated awhile back, the end is near for my current service and I fear it may be this Sunday...

When the ftp site goes offline, I will take steps to bring something back up soon. All you torrent holders will need to share a little bit of bandwidth. Not a lot, just a little from as many as possible will help.

At this stage of things I would really like to see a hi def AVCHD demo disc.


-I agree, I thought about an HD Demo disc but it'll involve a LOT of TIME and PC Power which unfortunately I dont have. I'll hold out say a year, wait for technology to creep up on me. By that time Blu ray media/burners (hopefully) will be cheaper. Then again, another format might come up like super ultra hi def green-ray or something.:cool:

Sending this to request access to the torrent/ftp site.

I will download and seed also.

Thanks in advance.

I'm with you on this one! Thanks!

Somehow I burned extra copies of discs 11 and 13. If you want to trade via mail, please PM me. I need 8, 12, 14, and 22-27.

I had downloaded quite a few of the demo disc, via the ftp site. what could I do in order to seed it back to the community?? I've downloaded the torrents zip file, but I don't want to redownload the discs again in order to seed. do I just put those disc .iso file into the torrent folder and it will then start to seed? I could seed at least a good 12hrs/day if not 24/7!

again, tks for the all effort to everyone who helped make this demo discs happen! now, I'm looking forward to the HD version in the future!! ;)

I'd like to request access to the torrent downloads. I usually seed until the tracker dies, and have a 25mbit connection.

P.S. I think it's awesome you guys are putting these together, thanx for the hard work.

Correct, Victor. Here's a tutorial >Click (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=134348)< on how to do it along with info on the free software needed. In the instructions, just substitue "*.m2ts " for "MKV".

Yes, the 2.0 processor is not going to hack it. To re encode, to a avchd, takes me about 10hrs, using a 2.44ghz Core 2 Duo with 3 gig of ram. The 2 processor cores run @100% when doing this.

If someone is going to go through the trouble, a high quality MKV would be great for us streamers out there. I haven't burned anything in a few years now.

I'm getting ready to ramp up a theater room, would love to get access to the torrents to (so those in the know, please PM)

Well, I think that we would all agree that 28 SD demo discs are more than enough....time to take the next step.

I'll see if I can put one together.

I don't agree. DVDs are not dead yet and are much easier to work with thus far. Although I appreciate all the effort in these demo dvds, I feel that only a few even approach what can be done on these demo discs.

I wish I had time to make one of my own...


:D

I had downloaded quite a few of the demo disc, via the ftp site. what could I do in order to seed it back to the community?? I've downloaded the torrents zip file, but I don't want to redownload the discs again in order to seed. do I just put those disc .iso file into the torrent folder and it will then start to seed? I could seed at least a good 12hrs/day if not 24/7!

again, tks for the all effort to everyone who helped make this demo discs happen! now, I'm looking forward to the HD version in the future!! ;)

Put the iso files in the folder your torrent client would download them to and your client will validate the files and then seed them. Be sure to load the torrent files just like you were going to download them. They will find the iso already downloaded and begin seeding.

Hi everybody! Nice to be back in such a long long time! Already got discs 1-25, that's where I left it a few years back. I got those from Steve's(Swithey) FTP site and now I wanted to be back on track. Could anybody PM me for anyone's FTP site so I can download Discs 26, 27, and 28? Great job again Victor! Thanks in advance!

Curious but what additions/changes would approach your "demo" disc requirements?

Victor

Anybody? Need some PM for the FTP site...

I'm back! Been seeding off and on (mostly off) the past few weeks mainly because I've been super busy. Plan on seeding during a schedule again soon ;)

I can help with a BR or AVCHD project. I don't have the time to track down all of the demo clips, but if someone can provide those I have the tools to assemble, author and test the finished project.

could someone pm me the info to reconlabtec's ftp? Thank you!

I d/l these back in 9/06 and now just got around to burning them all.
Did a few but not all.

First question is any new ones that I should or be kewl to add to the collection ? If so can I get a link to the ftp or whatever to d/l.
Thanks

I would improve the menuing to start with. I would group the clips much like on the Demo 5 disc to help provide an idea just what kind of demo you are providing. Your discs are always the best in the bunch as far as I'm concerned.

These discs have been more about the sound than the video but I think that a careful selection of video can be made to show off the visual capabilities of your theater as well as the muscle and finesse in your sound system.

Maybe those who are more concerned about improving the video on these discs are not getting their butts kicked by a quality sub hard enough. :D

Thank you for the positive comments about my demoes. I've always used bclews demo disk as a template for my own work but mixed in kweezr's "as many good scenes as possible" so the video quality (and probably the audio as well) tends to suffer when one exceeds 20-25 tracks on one dvd-r.

I am actually working on one more using the latest stuff but as you can see if I pursue this course of action this demo won't see light of day until early next year.

PS My reference sub is my crappy dual 7" yamaha LOL

Guys, could someone give me some advice in which of the disks would be the best for demoing subs and the LFE channel?

#'s 2, 4 and 21. Be warned 21 is violent and rated "R"

sounds like 21 is must, ;) thanks. DLing now.

If any of you torrent guys have demo 21 could you seed it please as there is only one seed right now, thanks in advance.

I'd like to see someone try the DVD 4.7 media, but use bluray clips, so we can get HD sound/video. We might only be able to get 45 minutes, but that would be a nice set of demos...

I must say that would be great, if someone had the time. Even if it was just 20mins or 10 x 2min clips would be great.

Did you two not read the posts on the previous page ?

Howdy All

What we need now is a 1080p demo with Hi-Def audio. I don't know what format would be best?

Like this?

Transformers (http://twills.fatcow.com/Transformers.html)

Sorry guys I have been absent for awhile. However, I have just completed some testing on doing some streaming 1080p @ 24 FPS HD versions with 5.1 channel surround of these demo discs. Anyone interested?


Let me know exactly what movies and time code sections you would like to see and I will create a streaming HD demo of them.

THe next LFE demo disc needs the last 15 minutes of `Knowing'....

Had the discs from forever ago (05) , recently figured out where they came from.Could I get a link to ftp/torrents please.I nearly cried when my discs came up damaged in a move , having lost the images to a HDD crash.

no need to ask for the FTP access again folks, it seems like reconlabtech's FTP site is down now.........

btw, what kinda bandwidth is need to setup the FTP site? reconlabtech? may be I could set one up and help.....

I offered to host the files in 1080p streaming HD and 5.1 channel surround and I had no takers. I guess no one cares about these demo discs anymore?

And if you can't use the streaming HD ones then I could just as easily make a superbit DTS version sourced from the HD version. That would be as close to Blu-ray as you could get on a standard DVD.

Not sure about the streaming HD version but I would like to see the superbit DTS version.

I find that statement to be very interesting. The difference between DD and DTS is real. However, it is nowhere near the difference between 480p and 1080p. If you have a computer then you have a use for the streaming version.

Whatever, floats your boat though. What movies and scenes would you like to see?

Indeed the first 12 minutes of Transformers 2 "Revenge of the Fallen" if that copy comes out..

Where can I get the torrents? I don't have the fastest upload speed but my fileserver is on 24/7 :)
I had many of the dvds some years ago, but I lost them :(

Or would it be better to download them over the FTP? Then I need the FTP access ;)
PM would be nice

I would love to see the HD version Demo Tree!! stream or not, it's all fine w/ me!! ;)
