CM wrote: Thanks for the stuff, yes! Maybe if it is converted to mpg the loss is big...I mean, a vcd can only hold...700 or 800 mbs? and the dvd file is 4gbs! the only problem is a lot of people can not burn dvds and a vcd/mpg option would be great.

What you say may well be true (and judging by the bits I've seen I can't argue) but the fact it is the first gig by this line up makes it more interesting and therefore more relevant to some fans. That's why I would like a copy, for the event more than the actual quality of the performance.

Elessar wrote: I'm on to 20kbps now...seems the more people who jump on, the faster upload speed I get. presumably once I've uploaded 4.2GB or whatever it is, everyone will have the whole thing between them so I can leave you lot to it? By my reckoning that will be some time on Monday morning...

Don't download it then! How about you show some RESPECT to the person that is taking their valuable time to help out other Queen fans. Ask nicely for screen shots, its a good idea, but don't be an A-hole!

i am guessing the seeder is in superseed mode. there are over 100 peers!

Elessar wrote: [/QUOTENAME Yeah I must be because I've been seeding all night, although I was a bit disappointed that I've only uploaded just over 1GB...but I'm seeing lots of people on 20% so there must be a lot of inter-seeding going on now.

Sometimes this happens to be as well. I use superseeding in Azureus. Sometimes i am not sure if this is faster (i know it is supposed to be...) Thanks for your work on this. there are 100+ very greatful people (i will be one soon).

Well Richard, I think the poster wants to upload this for others not for himself, so what difference does that make?

Well if it takes say 3 days to share this via torrent it would take about the same time to upload this to a newsgroup if that was a dedicated upload. But as the poster is already sharing this via torrent it would take approx. twice as long for both if he decided to post it to a newsgroup as well; so how would that be quicker and easier!

Elessar wrote: Here's a screenshot from the last 2 files. It's all the same. I'm still puploading at 30kbps. Hopefully it's uploading it so that when my ratio is 1.00, I'll have uploaded the whole thing and between all the peers, all the 'pieces' will be out there. I'll keep it going until I'm onto around 2.00 anyway though, I think, although I may turn it off at night so I can get some proper sleep.

Depends what bit torrent client you are using, but theoreticaly, yes-when you reach 1.00 that should indicate there is at least 1 copy of every piece out there. BUT..it could be that one single piece was seeded to someone who has given up or stopped for whetver reason abd tht would mean that, if you went offline straight away, there would probably not be a full copy within the cofines of the currently active seeders and leechers, so it's a good idea to waituntil you see tow or three other with full copies before disconnecting. Your speed is quite good-most internet connecion download at much faster rates than they upload. For instance, on NTLworld, I am on their 3MB download service, but upload is only 105 of that, so I can never get over 30-ish kbps.

Elessar wrote: My share ratio is on 0.999 now but the availability is only 1.519, so I'm assuming this means that only about 50% of the file is out there amongst inter-seeders. I'll leave it on all night again and maybe by the morning we'll have had a a bit of an exponential effect.

Are you in super-seeder mode? When I seed for the first time here, I was only in standard seeder mode, and it seems to me slower and I uploaded more than 1 times too (maybe 1,5 times, I don't remember exactly). With second torrent I tried super-seeder and it seemed to be better to me - quicker with less upload.

You weren't using super-seeding were you? Trying to work out why it is requiring you to upload so much?

Elessar wrote: [/QUOTENAMEI wasn't, but I am now and the availability seems to be rising more quickly now. Also there'll be another seeder in an hour or so. Driving down to a friends house to put the files on his computer.

Hopefully a fair few. Then again, as soon as we get to 100%, that'll be almost everyone finished!

Penetration_Guru wrote: let's see how many stick around after 100%
Well i will burn a couple of copies for people if theyre willing to then burn from their copies and share with others.No one should have to go without even if some people dont hang around after they have finished.Im grateful to get this dvd and would want others to benefit,whether they download it or i send them a copy.

Libor2 wrote: I don't think this torrents should have problem just now, no need to panic. There are 13 seeds (me include 14) and 46 peers with almost 18 distributed copies. It means that even without any seeder these peers could all download it till the end. On the other side, me noticed too, that some people after download immediately end torrent. As I said in another thread, share ratio would be good remedy for such leechers.

Good idea. I've actually handed over money to that guy as well, for Tokyo '85 and the Rainbow '74 DVD, before I realised these things were available for much cheaper, or even for free. Even if it isn't your recording, he's still exploiting people. He's the sort of person who makes the record companies want to stamp down on bootlegging.

Its mainly the downloading of commercial songs that are a record companies biggest gripe.Not that any record company encorages concert taping,but commerciial releases are more important.Its a shame in this day and age when anyone is still paying for bootlegs,trading has become so popular now ive not paid for a bootleg for years and years and years.Im still seeding this dvd so hopefully im helping some of you out,i hope im not the only one still seeding.My advice would be,save your money and trade with others,it might take time,but youll get what youre after.Plus no money is going to the bootleggers.

Darren Robins wrote: "No - it cannot be. I have been sharing at 100% since Thursday." That's what I thought, though nobody at 100% is appearing here. Perhaps a firewall is preventing people from connecting to others to seed? Also, has anyone created any menu designs on TMPGEnc yet? I've been trying to work on one, but I'm already shattered after cutting out all the adverts and creating correct song chapter selections! ha! Ooh, does anyone have the "Queen font" used on the logos etc they could send me please? Like on the Q+PR logo? I'd like to use this on the DVD menus.

proton wrote: I already re-authored the footage, edited out the commercials and black screen, added a photo-gallery with background music (like on the Queen on Fire DVD) with 157 pics. And converted the Prague video to mpeg2 and added that too. Also made nice menu's with background music :-)

I don't mind hosting other files for longer - but because I have a small hard-drive (and that is not a sexual euphamism!) this file is too large for me to keep much longer.
