For Jim March (at his request)

downloading at 154 kb a sec!!
holy crap!! that is just so damm insecure
my wife is a programmer analyst she says that is just bad sloppy programming
they should of at least encrypted the file folder

We have a server with 100mbit full duplex. File will be up for as long as we can maintain it fiscally

I'm using ABC and getting 280 to 310

300 here with ABC - why isn't that the recommended client?

Is there anything that needs to be done to the downloaded file once it is downloaded? Unzip, burnatonce CD image, etc?

No, it's an .avi...

That's some pretty scary stuff, Jim.

Spread it far and wide .

Once it's in .AVI format, double-clicking it will call up a respectable player file on most PCs...Windoze machines will usually default to Windows Media Player, I'm pretty sure Macs and even Linux rigs can cope too. Harry Tuttle is experimenting with compression last I heard but failing that, AVI might be *big* but it's got wide support.

To see the internal memos wherein Diebold tech support staff talk about these same issues (and conspire to lie to the FEC-approved testing lab) see also:

That's an important document because it's the reason attorney Lowell Finley approached me personally on the subject of doing a whistleblower lawsuit in California. I then dragged Bev Harris in as a co-plaintiff.

Please don't everyone post there - I don't want them to see all these first time posters and wonder what's up.

It wouldn't let me create a post until I responded to 10 threads... They also don't allow you to use the search button unless you donate to them. They promise to mail you a bumper sticker if you donate to them, which tempted me to donate 10 cents.

I submit this thred should be stuck @ the top for awile.

Downloading now and shall seed when finished.

I was uploading at my full 100kbps last night, quite a few thousand mbs uploaded in total.

i've managed to compress a handful of versions with resulting file sizes of 18-35 megs

none of which maintain legibility of the various menus and screen texts

the original AVI file is already compressed so another compression run at the data takes the aliased noise around the text and mushes it into a blur

the compression runs are taking 2-3 hours to complete

attached is a screen shot from a 18.5 meg .wmv

i have raised the audio level

Downloading at 120KB/s

1MB/s DSL Is a Great thing to Have!

This is the fastest bittorrent I've ever downloaded. Getteng 250K per sec.

I'll leave mine up the rest of the evening.

Feel free to advertise the web link I posted. No Bittorrent required.

However the torrent concept is fantastic, and seems to be working VERY well indeed!

Artherd, your version isn't working. Not for me, not for at least some other folk.

It's available at http://24.17.49.107:8000/
Just click Gemsdemo and you can download it without bittorrent.
It can only support a few connections though, as it is my home computer.

By the by. Here are a couple of things that I don't believe have been covered here yet.

If the file download gets interrupted, the Bittorrent link will restart the download where you left off. You have to point the file to the same place where you stored the file previously.

If you get an "Unable to connect to tracker" message, simply leave the client open. Do not terminate the file. Eventually, you will connect to a tracker.

Here's the biggie. If you finish downloading the file and leave the client open, others will be able to download from you as a peer. Once you have the entire file, you become what is known in the parlance as a "seed". If you have to shut down for some reason, but you want to continue to be a seed, simply re-link to the link to the file and when Bittorrent finds the file is complete, it will simply hold the client open allowing others to download from you

The scary thought is that most of my classmates (many who had never touched a computer till then) in college designed Better More Secure Database's than that in ther first year...

Tracker failure. No upload. No download.

It's working for me.

Occasionally, the Bittorrent client will open a window to a webpage, asking you to donate to the creator. In my experience, it won't start downloading the file if this happens. You close the pop-up, cancel the download, and try again. I'm not sure what causes it.

I have already donated to Bram Cohen and don't get the donate page any more. It is working tonight.

I'm on a funky dialup service that I can't get more than 4KiB/s no matter what I try. I have the upload rate limited as to reduce the outgoing packet time.

Haven't been in L&P recently- missed this thread

Downloadin' now.
