No, I only see one 7zip file in the torrent.

Unless you're talking about something Azureus related, and I don't use that program.

jr2 · **Reply #81 on:** March 16, 2007, 06:59:47 pm

Ya, that's Azureus related... lets you start seeding the same file when there's a peer for it, and not when there's not. BTW, the darn 7-zip file is broke.

I'm gonna make a new one with just the .iso and instructions.
EDIT: here
and here.
OK?

Invalid URL in tracker, and the isohunt link has no torrent uploaded, and a bad link to the nfo file.

What's going on there bubba?

On the plus side, my iso matches yours 99%.

I am seriously messing something up. When I get back from work tomorrow (this morning), I'll have to check that out. The difference in the iso is prolly just because I used a different program (unofficial Windows Power Toy)

As I said on the other thread generating parity files might be a more sensible way of handling this over forcing everyone to redownload.

Already delete, soz

karajorma · **Reply #86 on:** March 17, 2007, 09:33:54 am

Huggybaby might be able to generate working copies if his file is that close to yours. And it's a lot easier to download 40MB of parity files to fix the 1% difference than it is to download the whole thing again.

Huggybaby · **Reply #87 on:** March 17, 2007, 09:46:33 am

karajorma, parity files are used on irc where files are split up into small chunks, then scattered over different fora to be reassembled later. Torrents contain the entire file in one place so that strategy isn't needed.

In fact I've never seen one torrent that used them, not that they couldn't---they're simply a complication of usenet life.

It's almost unheard of for someone to download a broken torrent. Most people would not download a torrent that had no seeders or leechers.

If I make parity files, he'll have to download some pieces again from somewhere, I'm not sure how that would work.

jr2, a 99% match is fine. Anyway, whatever you use to make the torrent is going to hash the file, not a Power Toy.

jr2 · **Reply #88 on:** March 17, 2007, 09:53:50 am

Err... no, the problem was, my .7z file (and thus the source) was broken.. and someone had already downloaded it. (Actually, about 3 ppl..) Although I did still have the source for that file (the .iso). What karajorma was referring to would have allowed me to send a "fix" for ppl who downloaded my broken file.. and a relatively small fix, at that.

Oh, BTW.. The Power Toy created the .iso file. Your program (Nero? Easy CD Creator? Roxio?) created your .iso

jr2 · **Reply #89 on:** March 17, 2007, 10:45:01 am

I think I fixed the .torrent file not uploaded - it was not associated with the release for some reason, now it is. As for the .nfo file, I've tried everything I can think of... every time I upload to a free host, it gets deleted, and my homepage (geocities) says "invalid filename", even though there are no spaces in the name. Where do you put .nfo files? Of course, there's one in the torrent, but I was looking for a place to stick them externally. Huggybaby, you need to get IRC..

Google Miranda IM, get that, then hook up to esper.net , channel hard-light

Umm, no...I downloaded hip63's iso, I didn't create it. µTorrent hashed it.

I can chat with you on AIM or something, I don't use IRC unless it's an emergency.

jr2 · **Reply #91 on:** March 17, 2007, 11:02:45 am

That'd be nice... my AIM is in my profile

karajorma · **Reply #92 on:** March 17, 2007, 11:02:53 am

jr2's pretty much explained it. The files were corrupt at source. It's either parity or force the users to download all 4BG again.

jr2 · **Reply #93 on:** March 18, 2007, 07:25:34 am

Hehe, good news... 2 seeds, 12 peers

Huggybaby · **Reply #94 on:** March 18, 2007, 11:00:55 am

Good job jr2, I see it's all working now!

PS You're gonna have to seed more than that, I'm the only guy seeding right now.

jr2 · **Reply #95 on:** March 18, 2007, 12:03:24 pm

No you're not... you just don't know about Azureus' "Super Seeding" mode.

Huggybaby · **Reply #96 on:** March 18, 2007, 12:08:21 pm

Dude...I INVENTED that mode.

BTW, super seeding is only good if you're the ONLY seeder, and IF you have LOTS of leechers. Since you're not and you don't, you should switch back to normal mode.

jr2 · **Reply #97 on:** March 18, 2007, 12:08:56 pm

Oh, fine.. I thought you didn't use Azureus though?
EDIT: Check ur PMs...

Huggybaby · **Reply #98 on:** March 18, 2007, 12:12:20 pm

I use µTorrent. Any decent client has that mode though...

I'll be aiming you in a sec...

Mobius · **Reply #99 on:** March 18, 2007, 12:15:43 pm

Azureus? Plz enlighten me about it!
