This is a custom dvd with episodes one and two from the third season of HBO's "Hard Knocks". These episodes are converted to dvd using TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress and Sony DVD Architect 3.0. They are converted from the SYS hdtv xvid rips. The dvd contains menus, and is NTSC. Thanks to SYS for the video source and DaFace for the Arrowhead background. DVD's for the rest of the season will follow as long as I can find good rips like the SYS ones.

If you are new to DVD burning, download and install this http://imgburn.com/index.php?act=download. Open the "HBO.HK.D1.MDS" file with ImgBurn and its pretty self explanatory from there.

I made this dvd for people who dont have the capability of watching divx/xvid files on there television, as well as people who want to share the dvd's with other Chief fans. I hope you guys enjoy it.


I only have a 100kb upload speed so it will take about a day for the first several seeders to latch on. After that it should run pretty fast as long as every one keeps seeding.

It will be slow for the first day since Im the only seeder. Its going pretty smooth though, I posted it 4 hours ago and there are two people above 20%. So it should be just under a full day for the seeders to start multiplying.

The tracker and torrent files are the same, but the site that hosted the original file I gave deleted it for some reason. I read their rules before I posted it and made sure I followed all of them but it got deleted anyways. :cuss: At least they didnt kick me off their tracker though.

I'm seeding right now. Do I need to do anything? Sounds like they just deleted the Torrent file itself, not the DVD image, right?

Correct, everything is fine. They just removed the link to the torrent file from their site, so I uploaded it to meganova.Same torrent, same tracker, and everyone who downloaded it from the original link is fine. The people who get it from the new meganova link are fine too, and will connect to the first set of downloaders. Within the next hour everyone should see their speeds increase a little more because I enabled super-seeding. I thought I already had it set up but I didnt.

You may need to check your settings on your torrent client. You are the only person thats been connected that long that doesnt have at least 60%.

I should be that one at 92% and it is at the computer which I leave on almost always. Now I can be a dick but a douche no way ..... and yes I will help seed. :D

Aborting the torrent as it was rejected by the tracker while not connected to any peers. Message from the tracker: Torrent deleted or not in pool yet. Go to Demonoid.com and read the FAQ for more info

IIRC, you're on a shared internet connection with others in your apartment complex, right? If that's the case, I doubt that you'll be able to achieve the same speeds that are possible with a direct connection of your own.

Each bulding has a wireless internet router. If we want to "plug" into it, we buy adapters.

Just for shits and grins, though, what should my connection and BitTorrent settings look like?

A lot of routers block certain ports, especially ports commonly used by torrent trackers. Your client should have a port setting but without knowing which ports your router allows it would be difficult to set up. The only advice I can really give in your situation is to limit your upload speed to about 80% of its max.

Yeah, that's the kicker. The changes you would need to make would have to be made on the router itself rather than your own computer. And I highly doubt they'd be willing to give you access to the router to make those changes.

Those who do a great deal of torrent downloading tend to get used to your client just running in the background all the time. It usually doesn't affect your browsing experience much.

DaFace
08-20-2007, 10:56 AM

Dave

1. Make sure that the partially downloaded file is in the download location specified in your client's options. It should be, but if your client zapped all your settings, the download location might have been changed.

2. Redownload the torrent file. In my experience, it will look like you're getting a lightning fast download for a while as it checks to see what has already been downloaded. After a few minutes, though, it should be ready to go.

Theres a million things it could be. First, try downloading a different torrent from demonoid.com and see if you have any problems.

Hmmm, tried this on three different machines, (2 XP and one Mac) and I can't connect to any peers/seeds. All of my ports are forwarded correctly and I regularly download torrents from demonoid and Oink, so, I don't think my setup is faulty.

Limit your upload to 15kb.
