Steve moved it... it's in the very first post now.

Hmmm - seems odd. Now shows 83.3% available I had been trickling for quite a while but just had a spike of 1.7M but back now again to under 50K

So I'm going to go ahead and pull the torrent offline, there are two many recent releases and I could've squeezed in an Ironman2, RobinHood and Prince of Persia clip. You guys wouldn't mind starting over right?

That's because you are not connected to Steve (the one and only seed). You are only connected to peers. As the peers that are connected to Steve get more of the blocks, your % available will continue to increase. If you were connected to Steve you would see 100% available.

Anything special I need to do to get the torrent started, It goes to start then it stops and says permission denied?

I plan on downloading this and using my HTPC to stream it. Any advice on using media browser to play this? Tips or tricks to run it flawlessly

Steven1110 should be able to answer that question.

Sorry, my bad, updated my torrent program and had existing torrents pointing to a non existent folder. Deleted all the old ones and restarted/added and it seems to be working now, sorry.

So are other seeing Steve? I was seeing him up until earlier today but all I see are others at arround same download % as me but availability seem to be trickling forward (now see 83.9%).

You know, as I sit here and watch you guys work, I just want to say that you're all doing a fine job. Yes sir , that's some mighty fine work you guys are doing. If I could get up the the gumption to get out of my chair I'd pat you all on the back.

No don't do that - you need to save your gumption to actually make progress in your HT. Getting up might set you make to an even more distant reality.

I'm only seeing about 50 peers in a swarm of 170. (Here at my slow work connection. I'm not sure what it looks like at home.) I checked my settings and I'm maxed at 90 peers, so I don't know why I'm only seeing 50. I'm not seeing Steve's seed, and the max percentage of the peers I do see is only 83.4, but I'm sure it will all work itself out in the end.

While I don't use media browser, I'll try to help. You can create an iso using isoburn with the "create iso from folders" selection. Use a virtual mounting program like daemon or virtualclone to mount the image. You'll also need to setup media browser to play from the selected virtual drive using this link. http://community.mediabrowser.tv/per...w-does-it-work

From there, I'd assume it's as easy as putting the iso in a media folder that media browser reads from and selecting to play the "movie". From there the virtual drive software will mount the iso movie and media browser will autoplay it.

**Also, I believe you'll either need powerdvd or totalmediatheater installed to play the iso. If you don't have, or have access to either of those, you're next best may be to reencode the disc to .mkv which is a fairly lengthy process and not a really easy process for first-timers.

It just means that Steve fell outside of the number of peers you have in your client. I had mine set to 50 and changed it to 200 and am now seeing both Steve and 83 peers. I have heard that going beyond seeing more than 50-70 peers is too many ongoing connections and can slow down your speeds unless you've got a beefy connection.

BTW... I've now got 9 parts at 100%.

86.6%, .6KB/s down and connected to 0 seeds right now. Anything going on?
post #467 of 1479
me too! suddenly seemed to hit a real wall... down to 1 kb per second download...
post #468 of 1479
Same here - we got to hope someone who has to missing pieces rejoins.

I show over 32 wks to complete

So close - yet so far.

Steve - pretty please uncheck you initial seed box
post #469 of 1479

AP report 6:32PM EST 23 Sept 2010

"Recent internet activity along the East coast has dramatically changed over the last three days. It appears that although measured traffic is up slightly, the amount of porn being downloaded has dropped off dramatically in this region. Experts attribute this change to large sectors of bandwidth being re-tasked and fear terrorist plots."

Glad I hadn't started downloading.

No, these guys just wanted a break and they run all the call centers for US companies. I wonder if those are OSHA approved sandals?

Sorry guys, had to take the torrent down for a little while to record a podcast that I do. When capturing audio I don't let anything else run. It's back up and initial seed is off, and has been off all day.
post #478 of 1479
Hows this for flat lining...... not seen any action for hours. Might have to actualy download some porn or wake the wife



You know funny thing is I'm downloading just to seed.

Hoping a friendly NoVA buddy will burn it for me
