SP DVD Torrent

[ntbullock]

I had the idea the other day to try and distribute the original SP DVD from back in 2004 in the form of a burnable DVD image file. If anyone can download this torrent and help seed the file that'd be great. I'm working on a second disc that includes everything from 2005 to present, and I'd love to offer that one too on the site. Both will be about 4.1 gigs.

If someone has a problem connecting then let me know. I'm still new to this. I'm using uTorrent with DHT, Local Peer Discovery, and Peer Exchange enabled.

Here's the second disc I whipped up in iDVD with a collection from 2005 through 2010. It's another burnable .ISO image file.

Using uTorrent to seed these two large files. I spent hours last night reading, testing settings and connections, but the upload speed varies greatly. I'm hoping that once I get a full version out somewhere that it'll speed up. Please be patient and please seed for as long as you can.

My connection seemed to be severely crippled the last few days, but it's doing better today for some reason. I did change a lot of settings in uTorrent and on my Linksys router, but I really feel like it was a server issue. Anyway, connection isn't great but definitely better at the moment.

I've uploaded more than 20 gigs myself. Any success story of someone being able to download a whole disc and burn it would make me feel better - considering I'm still new to this torrent thing. Thanks for seeding for a bit, peeps.

I was able to download 2005-2010. Works perfectly.

I get a "bad data from tracker - bad bencoded data" with 1999-2004 though.


Big thanks for putting these up!

[ntbullock]

Good to hear the 2005-2010 iso works.

The bad tracker message I don't quite understand. Were you able to download it at all?

Anyone else able to burn the 99-04 disc yet?

Also, Dennisik, what torrent client are you using? I'm using uTorrent with DHT and Peer Discovery enabled.

Here are some trackers I have for it:
http://tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce
http://denis.stalker.h3q.com:6969/announce
http://www.sumotracker.com/announce
http://www.torrent-downloads.to:2710/announce

I wasn't able to download a single byte.

I'm using BitTornado.

I think I know what the problem is. BitTornado seems to show that message mainly with torrents that have Pirate Bay trackers. I'll try using a different client, and let you know what happens.

[ntbullock]

Oh, didn't know that was a hinderance to some programs. I used Pirate Bay because it's pretty reliable and popular. Something to think about next time, I guess. Is it possible to manually remove the Bay tracker from the list? Would it go then?

[Dennisik]

Yeah, I would think so. I tried using uTorrent to see if there would be any progress. It downloaded perfectly, so that was definitely the problem.

Seeding now.


Side-note, It's great seeing these videos in a better resolution. Thanks for all the hard work!

Well, I had a situation where I didn't have any more SP DVDs and couldn't find a backup of it. It freaked me out for a moment. I still haven't found the DVD Studio Pro file for SP DVD 1. So all that made me re-evaluate, and I thought torrent would be perfect. I didn't know what a torrent even was when I made the original disc back in '04.

So, then I decided to quickly make an updated disc 2 and torrent it as well. It all took some time to build, fig out, and test before I released the ISO images.

Glad someone is enjoying them.

Hey NT,

started off with the second disc, I use utorrent and got it to work great. Thanks a bunch for this. I'll start disc 1 sometime tonight and will send some input when its all done.

[ntbullock]

No problem. Glad it will be enjoyed.

[stumpy]

I got the first disk to work fine, no problems at all.

[ntbullock]

Excellent. Great to hear, thanks. I'm out of town at the moment, but left my computer seeding. Before I left I had uploaded over 50 gigs between the two torrents. I salute the long-term seeders!
