You are the man!

faceleg (2008-04-05)

Thanks!

slugggy (2008-04-05)

Great job! Thanks!!!

YYZed (2008-04-05)

Thanks ed, sorry for doubting you in the first upload. You deliver as promised :)

doadruss (2008-04-05)

Is this for real, BEWARE I noticed this guy has another file "Battlestar Galactica - He That Believeth in Me.S04E01.edshrinker" (197.31 mb) which has 852 leechers and not one has completed!!

doadruss (2008-04-05)

if it is for real then appologies for casting any doubts

erglupin (2008-04-05)

Im just curious, you mentioned you got this off P2P. Im typically a NG guy myself, dont even really dabble in Torrents that much anymore except for dreamcast games and good rom sets, just wondering what P2P network this came off from. I grabbed Shareaza which seems to go G1/2 and ED but it wasnt around. Cheers

kalal (2008-04-05)

Hi Ed.
Why doesn't anyone else seem to seed your other torrents?

Akkupinkler (2008-04-05)

This has my Upstream, too.

domino87 (2008-04-05)

thank you ed, thanks for those green bay packer games as well.

edshrinker (2008-04-05)

No erg, I recorded this with my PC and DirectTV hookup off SciFi. I just converted that HUGE 4GB file to Mp4 (which I have to throw things on my PSP) so the file size would be small for a quick d/l.

edshrinker (2008-04-05)

Good question Kalal. People have finished with the Mp4 version, but I see no one seeding yet. Not cool. This AVI file JUST went up - so no one has finished it yet.

erglupin (2008-04-05)

Ahh you did the other one in mp4 cause thats what is used in the P2P scene? Thats weird. Anyway thanks for the upload just want be downloading it myself. Once you go to 1MB/s+ download speeds it hard to go back to torrents.

musikgoat (2008-04-05)

You rock edshrinker!! thanks for the fine up!!

edshrinker (2008-04-05)

You are very welcome gang. BSG off to a GREAT start. ENJOY.
And Seed if you can!

edshrinker (2008-04-05)

What's up domino. Thought that name looked familiar. Watch for the rest of the games shortly. Been real busy with work lately. Sometime Sat I'll have the next one up.

2bitkubrick (2008-04-05)

thank you thank you thank you thank you. When my people come to colonize this planet, your name will be on the protected scrolls, and no harm will come to you.

absence2 (2008-04-05)

edshrinker, are you using super-seeding?

stickwit2 (2008-04-05)

Thanks for the upload =)

edshrinker (2008-04-05)

No absence - I just put my u/l at unlimited. Which means everything else on my pc is sllllloooowwww as hell. But - sacrifices must be made for the greater good!

edshrinker (2008-04-05)

AND WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Seeder #2, take a bow.

Socom SNIPA (2008-04-05)

I'll seed this like a maniac thanks

jgabriel (2008-04-05)

EdShrinker: "Good question Kalal. People have finished with the Mp4 version, but I see no one seeding yet. Not cool."
I'm at 99.8% on the previous torrent. I could be wrong, but I don't think anyone has finished d/l'ing it yet. Or they just have while I'm writing this post.
I expect you'll see a fairly large number of seeders in another ten minutes.
OTOH, it's possible that some will cut off their seeding to d/l this version instead.
In the future, I recommend finishing one download before starting the next. It'll help get the first download distributed more quickly.

jgabriel (2008-04-05)

EdShrinker: "No absence - I just put my u/l at unlimited."
Yikes! Don't do that.
Set your U/L speed to about 80-85% of your total upload capability.
Setting it to unlimited degrades your PC's ability to respond to TCP/IP ack's, which will really cut down on performance.

_JustSomeGuy_ (2008-04-05)

Thanks for the good work Ed!
I'll seed to at least 500% once I get it.

jgabriel (2008-04-05)

Ed - The last torrent (for the mp4) has just jumped from 1 to 622 seeds in the past couple of minutes. Looks like my prediction above was right.
.

edshrinker (2008-04-05)

gabrial - yup, you hit it about right on.
And I decreased my u/l limit to something more reasonable. Thanks for the tip.
Justsomeguy - gabrial above says not a good move - just do what you can buddy, thanks for the help.

bodgeup0 (2008-04-05)

Are any of these rls actually HD???

selket (2008-04-05)

349 MB is great qualitiy but not hd so far i know it would be 1.3 gb big.
anyway thanks for upload i waited too long for this torrent

millennium5 (2008-04-05)

Unfourtunatly since I have a 40" HDTV i cannot watch it, its not HD :( Waiting for the 720p or rather the 1080p version. Come on guys, I am going crazy here please upload HD -pretty please with sugar on top and what not - I promise to seed at least 3:1 on this one...

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

Yeah same here. We got a 42" and i'm not watching crappy SD on it. Someone needs to post the HD rips already. They aren't up on newsgroups either.

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

IT'S UP ON NEWSGROUPS!!!! 720p RIP!!

millennium5 (2008-04-05)

Yeah neodata686 your right, I think the times for non HD are way past, edskrinker, no offence, thatnk you so much for the upload but I think 350 mb shows are for handheld devices, they should be posted on a later date, lets set 720p as our new standard for tv shows.

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

Exactly. But what you guys don't really understand is "HD" is nothing new. It's been around since the beginning of film. You can take a 1930's film and digitaly scan it to be 1080p and it looks amazing. "SD" is only a recent invention and it's not natural and very compressed. "HD" is simply like it's always been in the past.

millennium5 (2008-04-05)

neodata686 WHAT NEWSGROUP??? LINK PLEASE, I NEED IT RIGHT AWAY :-D

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
www.usenetserver.com (server)
www.newsleecher.com (client)
I pay a small fee each month to get 100% ssh secure downloads from a server(there's also free usenet servers out there, just google "usenet server + your isp"). It maxes out your download speed. So you can download as fast as your isp will offer. Once you go to newsgroups you NEVER use torrents again. It's like stealing candy from a baby.

millennium5 (2008-04-05)

neodata686 Your absolutely right, the bigscreens analog format does have no resolution like digital formats, its resulution is only limited by the grainularity of its media witch is way higher than 1080p regardless the quality of it. However, you can't store or transfer it digitally.

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

Exactly. 35mm film can be "digitally" scanned in and converted to 4000k (4000p) video. I just downloaded Casablanca on bluray and it looks beautiful. The only reason standard definition is around is because it's easy to transport and easy to store. "HD" (1080p/720p) is simply putting us back to our true film high quality roots and not some crappy compressed version.

millennium5 (2008-04-05)

Hmm looks interrestign, are there any open source api's, prefably for .net out there for usenet? I'd like to develope a lightweight IE8 plugin for it...

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

I'm sure there are. It's basically a bunch of redundant servers around the world that store the exact same "groups" and you're able to download articles and headers within each group. A client like newsleecher does all this for you. There's a global search feature will allows you to search the entire usenet instead of downloading all the headers all the time. It also auto repairs and extracts for you. I highly recommend usensetserver+newsleecher for all your downloading needs.

millennium5 (2008-04-05)

yeah but I' reall not happy about installing stuff on my workstation, got myself the new dell witch could slow down performance, I got myself the new delll T7400 precision workstation with the 45 nm 3 ghz quadcore xeon processor running windows 2008 server tweaked as a workstation OS so I am pretty picky on witch software I install, I prefer developing my own for this, news (usenet) is using the news protocol right? so it should be rather simple to create a pluginn for Internet explorer 8 using .net, I was just wondering if you knew about some open source API so to ease that job further.

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

I'm jealous of your new workstation. I have an old Core2Duo 6600 running at 3.5ghz with an 8800gtx, raptor HD, and 8 gigs of ram. I'm hoping to update to a new quad core and 9800gx2 pretty soon.
I'm not aware of any plug in for IE for newsgroups. I'm pretty sure the best way to download is through a client. Do you not have a home workstation you can use? I guess your work would have a higher bandwidth so that's why you choose to download it from there. You can IM me via instant messenger if you'd like. My SN if my username on here.

millennium5 (2008-04-05)

Yeah, hmm well its my homeworkstation hehe :D intell x5400 chipset, two processorbays each quadore capabale ( I only have one quadcore for now) 15000 rpm seagate SAS harddrive, have just ordered another to run raid 0, NVIDIA Quadro® FX 1700 prfessional graphics board LG BluRay/HDDVD, 4GB reg ram :) jupp this baby moved bytes arround its frigtening hehe :) I'll be back in an hour just bought a new 1 TB sata disk for storage, gotto go and get it before the postoffice closes then I be back and we can chat for a while on msn

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

dang. well i'm a gamer, so i stick to the non-server/workstation cpus/gpus. I'm actually on aim and not msn. :(

_JustSomeGuy_ (2008-04-05)

Ed: I believe gabriel was was talking about % of upload bandwidth, where I'm discussing amount of time :)
Neodata: Call me old fashioned, but I like my downloads for free (though there are shareware usenet clients available, certainly). Good call with the film based argument though. Of course you probably wouldn't want to do it with iso 800/1600 or above--but I believe most movies are shot in 400.

neodata686 (2008-04-05)

You mean digitally scanning the film? Isn't that what they do for the majority of bluerays that are released? Like most of the bluerays they release were not shot digitally and were converted from the film. My casablanca blueray (1942) looks absolutely beautiful.
If film shot with a high iso (800+) is converted digitally does the noise appear worse? I wasn't aware of this.
In regard to paying for usenet. I think the small fee is very worth it to have the 100% secure ssh and the max download. For example my connection always maxes out at 960kB/s no matter what. That's simply the max download bandwidth allowed by my isp. But yes there are free usenet servers out there. For example my isp (time warner cable) provides a free usenet server, but the retention sucks (30-40days, compared to my 120 days) and it's not always 100% completion.

Plasma_Kat (2008-04-05)

I'm seeding the other version right now, it's awesome to see a bigger version up so I'll grab this too and seed.

_JustSomeGuy_ (2008-04-05)

Neodata: To each their own :). I can certainly appreciate the security benefits of a ssh connection as well.
The "noise" you are referring to is called film grain in the photo/video world. Basically, the iso directly correlates to the grain size of light sensitive material in emulation(s) of the film (in b&w film there's only one silver-nitrate based emulation, in c-41, aka color film, there are three).
Large film grains are much more light sensitive than their smaller counter parts, but are also much more visible. This is why films with many dark scenes (e.g. Film Noir) tend to have more "noise" than those shot with brighter lighting.
Of course this only applies to film based movies--not digital video (whose grain size, I believe, is proportional to the size of the CCDs in the original camera...and of course whether it was shot in SD or HD).
Glad my college education could actually be useful for something. *grin*

Sorry been up since 5am, so my brain is kinda muddled.
Now back to my 10 page essay on Chomsky's Propaganda model.
