Al Emmo - bit torrent download

Fairygdmther · 06-28-2006, 03:35 PM

Uh, Jackal - can I assume that this is NOT what we're supposed to see when we click on the bit torrent link? I've never tried a bit torrent d'load before, but this isn't in my language, anyway.

Are you running a bit torrent client?

Yeah, see the link in Emily's post. I wrote up a whole tutorial thing for the torrent newbies

(That's a raw torrent file, by the way. It describes to the client where to look for peers)

Did you really have to quote that whole thing?

I'm afraid so.

A .torrent file will open as plain text unless you tell your browser to do something else. Any decent BitTorrent client will associate itself with .torrent files for you, or you could tell your browser to save as with .torrent files, then manually open them with your bt client. Either way, no, you don't want to be reading bytecode

Fairygdmther · 06-28-2006, 04:50 PM

Okay, I shrunk it - I just wanted someone to see it before I did that. The way Jackal's preview reads - it made it sound like when you clicked on that link, you would get the instructions on how to do it. Thanks for your help!

***Jackal*** · 06-28-2006, 05:09 PM

Well, it would, if there weren't an entire separate link just for those.

Fairygdmther · 06-28-2006, 06:18 PM

Well, I did it - it took just 30 min. See, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

And I'll leave it hooked up till about midnight (10:20pm here now).

Thanks again!

30 minutes - not bad for such a big download!

Glad you got it to work. Enjoy the demo! (And thanks for leaving it hooked up so other people can benefit.)

Heh... For about 3 hours this afternoon I was seeding at >400KB/sec on a university connection

And Opera 9 has a built-in torrent client...

The AGS server is seeding at ~1MBps atm. We'll keep it doing that for a while.

***fov*** · 06-29-2006, 06:56 AM

Thank you, AGS server.

In my time using torrents, I don't think I've ever seen such high figures before. That is godly.

I will miss that connection.

Ah, I thank the speedy seeders. I downloaded the game in less than 20 minutes. Cheers!
