mmmk, here ya go, all 836 MB of it (857 MB uncompressed), in PNG format.
EDIT: Updated, plz re-download the link for # 3... srry about that..
1) Get a good Bittorrent client. I recommend
uTorrent (yes, it is supposed to work under WINE...), if not that, then
Azureus is good, but it is a bit bloated... but, for Azureus, you also need
Sun Java.
2) Make sure that your Bittorrent client's port is forwarded.
a. You'll need a static IP (inside your router's or modem's network, your computer must have an assigned IP...
www.portforward.com has
good tuts on getting a static IP).
b. Now, forward your port, see
portforward's guide for forwarding ports - select your router, then select the program (uTorrent or Azureus) that you will be using.
c. Go to
http://www.speedtest.net/ , disable any uploads / downloads / streaming music (anything using Internet bandwidth) and run that test, divide both results by 8 to convert to KiloBytes instead of Kilobits, and write down your results for future reference. eg:
Dividing both by 8 gives me: 1,238 KiloBytes(KB)/sec down and 81 KiloBytes(KB)/sec up
3) Download
this (if you can't, then PM me with a way to send a small [< 300 KB] file to you); open it with uTorrent or Azureus.
4) Pick a location to save the file.
After it is done, leave uTorrent or Azureus running, at
least until your share ratio is 1.000 or above... leaving it on for longer will help me. Now, if it is giving you connection problems, right-click ontop of the upload speed displayed on the status bar at the bottom of the main screen, and set it lower... say for example, one half or one quarter, or even 1/10th of your maximum upload speed that you wrote down earlier.
5) After the file is completely downloaded, while you are still uploading (called "seeding"), you can still access the file and use it. (ie, unzip it)
a. If you don't already have it, you will need
7-Zip, or the latest version of WinRAR, to open this file. WinZip
should have updated to include this file format by now, but I'm not sure if they have. If not, then
to them!
b. The question you will want to ask me when you open the file can be answered by remembering that the name of the file is SWC_ReF , and also remembering that in some cases, things
are case-sensitive!
6) If you don't already have it, get
IrfanView, and remember to look at the pictures in fullscreen without altering their aspect ratio, for best effect.
7) Questions? Comments? Suggestions? Requests for more shots of a specific area? Problems? Post away!!
EDIT: OK, if you are
really pressed for disk space and/or bandwidth, I've done the same thing I did before, except I used highest-quality .JPG format. This reduced the size to 424 MB compressed, 431 MB uncompressed. I will post comparison shots later, to show you why you don't want to get this version, unless you really have to...
ALSO!! the .JPG torrent has the same folder structure as the .PNG torrent, so pick a different location from the .PNG files when you extract it if you also have the .PNG torrent.
Linky. Same answer to question as before, remember some things are case-sensitive, and that the file name is SWC_ReF_JPG .
EDIT: to compare .JPG with .PNG:
http://www.wfu.edu/~matthews/misc/jpg_vs_gif/JpgCompTest/ (Just keep in mind that thes
are computer-generated images that I'm uploading, and read all of the notes in that site.)
EDIT2: Upped the .PNG version to MediaFire, after 3 tries I finally succeeded!
Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5Part 6Part 7Part 8Part 9These contain the 7-zip file in the .PNG torrent.. so you can extract it, then tell your torrent client to download to the same location; you torrent client will find the file, check it, and then begin seeding. You can do this if you wish to help the torrent.
