As I'm sure most of you are, I'm pretty damn anxious to get this shit off the ground. But alas...I'm stuck at work. The Michigan game will be up no later than 6:00 PM EST.

Someone asked if this could become a BP only thing. Here's my take on it: The torrents are being hosted on public tracker. Anyone who searches around for it will be able to download the games. However, torrents are only good if a lot of people are downloading/uploading/seeding. I think it's to our advantage that it stays public. I think keeping the links in the video section (which can only be accessed by BP members anyway) is the best balance between keeping it public and private. If you aren't a member, you have to know it exists, know how to get it, and know where to search for it. If you are a member, you just come to this thread.

When I get bored at work, I'll put up a how-to on ripping DVD's (the legal way, as in non-encrypted DVD's), as well as how to create and upload a torrent to the tracker.

I can only pray that there will be enough first seeders to get this bitch rollin.

I think we should get a count of how many BPers will be the first seeders. We should get them to commit also; Nobody wants to be the only 1st seeder.

THE GAME is UP! Go get it now!

I can't stress this enough: the file is huge (relatively, the straight dvd rip would be ~8.0 GB). This download will not finish in a few hours. It will take a couple of days! Just let it download and don't turn off your computer.

Well, I think my connection's running OK. Tried a file with 29 seeds and it ran quickly, got the green smilie that people can connect to me. I've got a fast connection, and I've set my upload max to unlimited, so hopefully this thing will speed up as more of us hit it.

Kinda mesmerizing, though. Find myself sitting here staring at the peer swarm readout.


Edit. I'm showing no seeds and 2 peers... shouldn't we see about the same numbers of these?

Figgered it out. I'm just not connected to them. Mebbe they've hit their max uploads. Isn't networking fun?

WTF, am I a retard because I can't get it to start downloading? It shows no peers or seeds.

Nevermind, it's going now. Averge peer progress is 14%. 0 seed/5 peers and 54kb/s. 10 hours left and shrinking by the second.

By the way, the ABC program that was recommended above is much better than Azureus.. It takes away virtually none of your computers resources.

Wow, it's only been about 5 minutes or so and I'm already down to 4 hours left. On the other hand though, I'm trying to get Star Wars Episode III and it say it'll take 13 weeks! :(

Everything is going smoothly here. D/L @75-85 kb/s and U/L @ 35 Kb/s (I have it set to allow for much higher upload, but I'm guessing there just isn't that many people D/L right now or they are using dial-up).

Buckwrestler- I'll keep mine up and I'm sure there will be others that will do the same.

There should only be one seed (me, cause I'm the only one with the full file). I'm maxing out my upload at around ~45 kb/s. When I'm looking at the Peers tab in azureus it looks like I'm uploading a little bit to everyone. Once we get one more seed things will get markedly faster.

I finished the first half of the Alamo Bowl, and I'll do the second half before I sleep tonight.

Stick with it guys, the ETA's given on any of the bittorrent clients are whack 90% of the time. Just leave the computer on, and you might have it in the morning.

I never saw the swarm tab before. Pretty neat...

EDIT: And my cable just died their for a second. Hope I didn't lose anyone...

I got dropped off a minute ago and then my computer froze up. At one point, I was over 90+kb/s, but it tapered off and I've been averaging about 20 since.


By the way, THANK YOU FOR SETTING THIS UP. I don't think we need to tell you how much we all apprecitate this!!!
