Could someone share the Love and seed the "OCR00001 to OCR0500" and "OCR00501 to OCR0100" torrents Pleez. :) The 1-500 torrent varies, but the 500-1000 is usually dead in the water.
Also, is there is a ftp site where I can just d-load the rar files (kinda like 1000-current rar)?

I'm currently (well, since like two months ago, heh) seeding 501-1000. I'd be seeding 1-500 also but I screwed up with the tags and filenames -> no seeding.
I'll try to seed it as long as possible, let's see if I can reach a year :o) (though my computer is shut down nightly ^^)

I wish I could, but for some reason BT shuts down my connection and I need to do a full reboot on the modem and router. Until I can ascertain the problem, no can seed. :(

No. The bittorrent site allows you to download most of the ocremixes and all of the collaboration project remixes via bittorrent without much effort.

The podcast is a weekly show that you can listen to in order to follow the goings on of ocremix and the community.

The bittorrent site does not offer the podcasts for download, and won't for the forseeable future. Though, anything is possible if it would be useful.

The BitTorrent page is down.
Why?
I had only bought an HDD to BT all OCXs and other BT stuff, but i come to you and find your BT page refusing a connection. is our network (we have about 100+ komputers under 1 IP) blocked? this sucks when i get (111) Connection refused. If it is possible please unban us. (if this is an issue, and we all have specific assigned IPs in the network here, and to change one costs the whole month's fee of unlimited downloading. thats a lot.)
Please, people, let me BT from you;) I'll seed (even though we are all FLd. But the music is all realy great!

If you're in college, you might be behind a firewall that's blocking off all torrents for legal reasons. The format is sadly a bit too popular with those downloading illegal material :(.

aubrey
09-10-2005, 06:01 PM
Sometimes the bt server is unreachable because of network issues on its end, though I don't see any disruption in service today... But anyway, we don't block networks. Everybody should be able to download torrents.

Therefore, if the http://bt.ocremix.org/ page comes up for you in a web browser, and you can download the .torrent files, but can't download the remixes using your bit torrent client, I'd think the issue is with either your client, or more probably your networks settings.

Hope this helps,

-Aubrey

No, this is not a college, it is a small town of 30,000 peoeple, and we have 3 local ISPs here. And it's only a hundred PCs that share files.

Unfortunately, it is not a BT client's fault. I use Bit Tornado, it's my favorite for more than a year. I think it is compatible with your tracker. But the problem is that I just can't reach the page that has .torrent files! Isn't that silly! I'll check Admin in monday, maybe he will help. I hope.
But I Surely could get to it before. The http://bt.ocremix.org/ page. Hmm.
Can someone please send me .torrent files to my e-mail? I'm sure I will still be able to BT, but I don't have .torrents. My box is <firespirit[eta]tts[dot]lt>. I will REALLY apreciate it!

EDIT: Thanx for .torrent files. But I get an error 10060 a urlopen error in Bit Tornado. :? I'll have to ask admin for a solution. sight.

Dr. Robotnik
09-11-2005, 06:32 PM
so do you mean you're having a problem with the torrents themselves now, or are you referring to the webpage problem?

FIRESPIRIT
09-11-2005, 07:45 PM
It is very weird, that now both are rejecting a connection. Earlier it was OK, I BTed Hedgehog Heaven cd via BT, and I really could see the bt.ocremix.org page itself (and when it is in a frame) but now both are out of reach to me.
I allready writed to Admin. Maybe he will give some good news. I hope.
Maybe it's a bad luck ;( Who knows....
But it's too long to DL every single file. BT batch of 500 is much easyer! Why can't I do that? :?

Dr. Robotnik
09-11-2005, 10:35 PM
man, you must be cursed or something. i've never heard of anyone having this many problems connecting to the BT's.

aubrey
09-12-2005, 02:49 AM
But it's too long to DL every single file. BT batch of 500 is much easyer! Why can't I do that? :?

I'm the admin for the bt site. If you PM me with your ip address, I can look in the server logs and maybe find out what is going on. Otherwise, I don't think I have anything further to suggest. Things seem to be working for most people. shrug

09-12-2005, 12:09 PM
Told Aubrey my IP, don't know who did what (my admin or Aubrey) but now I connect and see the bt page.
But the tracker connection is still being not found.
This is even weider!
Dr.Robotnik, this is a first time I get so much problems in connecting to site, then to a tracker, and getting those problems solved anybit!
The other time was not being able to connect to One Piece anime tracker. But i didn't really need them that much. Only checking out. And everyone was having problems with that tracker. The topic of complaints was SOO~ long.
But Hey! I could BT from you guys earlier! And Thanx alot for the page. I actually am happyer, somehow...

EDIT: Another top weirdness! At least for me.
I thought, what the hex, let's try Azureus.
Ok, java in, Azureus in, opening a torrent. A Hedgehog Heaven, (just in case it will work.) Bam! Doesn't work. says connetion error operation timed out! Alitle bit more thoughts, ok, let's put all these torrents in, (just in case, may be some day it will work) So I pour them all in, and what am I seeing! Heaven is down, not starting, but 001- 500 and 501-1000, even though they say the same error(well they say some error about time out.) BUT THEY TORRENT! A TOP WEIRDNESS THIS WEEK! and the speed of download is a bit higer compared to upload. Dl/Upl: 160/40 kBit/s. at max. Im a bit envious to my friend here, he's from another network, a not FLed, and they can get real IPs for 2 bucks, and they get Portforwarding. and he gets DL speed of ~230 kBit/s constantly. and over 100 of UpL

Anybody have a weird problem when they downloaded 1001-1250? For some reason most the songs are 32 megabytes, only a few songs were the normal size.

I can't connect to the BT page too... Why?

aubrey
09-19-2005, 12:58 AM
I'm not sure what the issue is. Firespirit was behind a Squid Proxy server that was giving a 111 error when trying to connect to the BT page.

-Aubrey

FIRESPIRIT
09-19-2005, 12:12 PM
Yea! That Squid thing is really buggy¬! Yesturday I couldn't connect to www.yandex.ru (which is like www.Yahoo.com in russia) I still can't beleve that kinda error was between me and a russian server. They should serve such squids in squid sushi and Tako Norimaki!
And about BT ;)
I DLded 001-500 fine, but 501-1000 is slower, and still going. Other torrents are not connecting. the latest batch pack is not even connecting and has 0% ;(
And even some torrents come and go, every torrent in list has an error about Operation Time Out. Man! They allready had 5 Time Outs! We now have to play the ball allready! ;D

marvinmc
09-19-2005, 02:50 PM
well, I do not have problems with proxys... I don't use any kind of firewall...

FIRESPIRIT
09-19-2005, 03:14 PM
But your ISP can be. (in fact, they do, and don't say they do, or don't do). Um, in fact, if they do, they will hardly lower their Firewall or router. But I think being firewalled is not so bad, if it is your personal one. in the other case your LAN mates may hack you with no problems. but the ISP's firewall is not allways right - BT port blocking, Skype ports blocking, and so on. better have personal router and firewall.

09-19-2005, 05:45 PM
Ok, very open ended question that I'm not really expecting to be answered, but is there another way to download large quantities of remixes without using bittorent or killing the site's bandwidth?
I'm living on a college campus that's banned all p2p programs and my internet connection would be shut down if I tried.
I took a look at the FAQs and tried usenet quickly, but as I have no idea what it is or how to use it, it didn't prove helpful.

aubrey
09-19-2005, 08:24 PM
Have they banned using tor? http://tor.eff.org/ If not, you should check that out. You can route bit torrent traffic through that and it won't look like bit torrent traffic.

You could download the remixes from the supertux mirror.
http://remix.supertux.com/ I think using bt is much much easier, but if you just can't, that is an option. Also, if you grab them from that page, it won't use supertux's bandwidth really as it will use Coral CDN.

I asked some friends to acess the http://bt.ocremix.org/, but they failed.

Is the site blocked for brazilian users?

aubrey

Is the site blocked for brazilian users?

No. You might have the same squid issue firespirit was having. What kind of errors are you and your friends getting? ... What do you see on the screen when you try to connect to http://bt.ocremix.org/?

P.S.: Note, the electric company is doign some maintenance on the building SuperTux is in, so it will be down for many hours tonight, and should be back up tomorrow morning sometime.

Its a good thing DJP doesn't demand 5 9's of uptime from me. :-)

Ok... I saw some weirdness with the networking on SuperTux, and so rebooted the system just now (was supposed to go down last night, but they never brought the power down..)

Maybe some of the weirdness is gone??

182 days of uptime before the reboot.. not bad..

EDIT: grrr.. I still see weirdness. The reboot didn't help. :-( Will look into this more..

I have a question. Why is the OCR01001 to OCR01250 torrent only 1.08 GB? The OCR00001 to OCR00500 is 1.47 GB and the OCR00501 to OCR01000 is 1.92 GB. Shouldn't the OCR01001 to OCR01250 torrent be at least 3.5 GB or is there something I'm not understanding?

aubrey
10-03-2005, 05:59 PM
The 1001-1250 torrent is about half the size of the other two because it contains about half as many songs as they do. (about 250 for 1001-1250, and about 500 for 1-500 and 501-1000)

Do we have any ETA on the next bit torrent?

I've resisted the urge to download each song individually, that way I can make sure to get them all via bit torrent.

Seems like the next section should be coming up kinda soon, no?

aubrey
10-07-2005, 02:46 AM
Oh, it will still be quite a while. Only a few are posted per week and we are only at 1412.

There is also a chance that there will be some sort of clean up after 1500 in order to finalize , or lockdown submissions 1001-1500. If that happens the 1001-1500 torrent will be delayed for a while longer after that.

There is a torrent floating around for remixes after 1250... If you download from that you should get current without too much effort.

Nice work, D-Lux.

While I'm here, I have a question regarding the OCR torrents:

Does iTunes (for Mac) do anything to the mp3s which means I shouldn't seed them? Or can I just point my BT client at ~Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Compilations/http___www.ocremix.org and seed from there?

(I have OCR01001+ stored in a separate folder from the rest, as I haven't yet added them to my iTunes library. These are the only files I've been seeding, since I'm not 100% sure that iTunes doesn't mess with the files in some way...)

Any iTunes/Mac users out there know what I'm talking about?

AlexTheGreyWolfe
10-10-2005, 03:16 PM
For those having trouble downloading these torrents, the problem may be with the client. I tried for hours to get it to work with my BitComet v0.58 and it simply refused to work (torrents from other sites would mostly work) . So I downloaded Azureus and gave that a try, and it worked immediately! Downloading now at 350kB/s

RussellChamp
11-11-2005, 09:43 PM
Does iTunes (for Mac) do anything to the mp3s which means I shouldn't seed them?
hmm, using iTunes and seeding shouldn't be a problem UNLESS you accidently tell iTunes to "automatically rename all music files to corespond to library arangement" or something like that which really screws up the OCremix stuff since there are literally hundreds of artists and under their schema each one gets a folder and it makes it a hassle to work with!
I re-downloaded everything (with bit torrent this time) and now have for 0-500 a 218% share percentage, 501-100 is at 165% and 1001-1250 is at 212% and each is steadly increasing! Yah! I'm finally giving back to the community!
Downloading now at 350kB/s
Gah!! I only got at a pathetic 5 or so kB/s! Just wait till I get the correct ports open! *Then* I'll be able to really cruise!

Batches of 25 torrents starting at 1251. The rest (up through 1425) should be up by day's end. The tracker requires you to register(although we're working on that) and we need SEEDS for anyone who has these already.

12-02-2005, 04:40 AM
I just finished downloading the torrents a couple of days ago and listening to the remixes, a lot of them aren't working. All three torrents finished but a loi of the songs seem to be mixed with others. One song was going through at least five remixes that I recognized. I know I should have taken down names, but I didn't. Whats going on? Something is wrong with thr files, I expect, but I don't know what to do about it.

Mono
12-02-2005, 06:06 PM
a lot of the songs seem to be mixed with others. If the tracks are jumbled, and some have gaps in them, then the torrent hasn't actually finished downloading. If you don't have any gaps, just jumbled songs, then I think there's something seriously wrong with your BitTorrent client.

Yeah, just the jumblies.

Just happened with Kid Icarus MegaloKidMarch. Its usually at least three songs.

EDIT: Again with Halo Ruined Desert

So the torrent hasn't actually finished downloading? When the torrent reaches 100% and you have all 500 tracks (or however many are in the torrent), they will be un-jumbled. BitTorrent, as far as I understand it, splits each file into handy, bite-sized chunks, which won't be correctly assembled until you've downloaded them all. So there's nothing to worry about. 8)

Do not try to play ReMixes while the download is in progress. The songs you listen to will very likely be messed up and sound like they contain pieces of several songs in them. Once your bit torrent client finishes the download, all the songs downloaded will sound like they are supposed to. Seriously. Have some faith.

P.S. I am currently dling at 45kb/s and uploading at 12kb/s

Open the ports that are used on ur listening port,
if ur using Bit Comet the defualt is 12242,

I see that you need a good seeder. Well, i can seed for the site. HOWEVER...there is a security issue that i wanted to address to OC Remix. Ive downloaded a few MP3's from the zelda and ninja gaiden collection....snaged up a back door trojan. Might wanna do a clean sweep before any one else gets hit with these.

I will gladly seed for you as well as i am advertising OCREMIX already. Ill start the seeding process as soon as i can. Just inform me on what day and time you would like for me to seed and i will get started ASAP. In other words...email me with that information

Btw....ive been a faithful OCremix listener for 2 years now. Ide say your remixers are getting better and much more skilled. Props to yall

01-08-2006, 10:00 PM
fireflower, check out http://bt.ocremix.org for more information. I use BitTornado, and every time I start a torrent, it asks me which folder I want the files to be downloaded to and uploaded from. If your client doesn't do this, it is probably a setting in some options or preferences menu; look around, you should find out where the client is saving stuff.

thexshadow2, can't you just start seeding right now?

And where the hell did the ThaSauce torrents go?! I was getting to OCR1375 when they just disappeared.

The contents of the torrents themselves are fully virus-free. However, the backdoor you got on your system might be coming from the ad system on OCR, which is NOT controlled by DJP but rather by ZTNet.

It could also come from another source, using the already-infamous WMF exploit that's fixed by just running Windows Update.

Now that that's out of the way, I decided to try downloading the torrents. Right now I'm on 1-500, and I've been waiting for about half-an-hour. All it says is "Connecting Tracker to say Start, waiting for response."

I use BitLord if that has anything to do with it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

P2P gets a lot of rap about being a huge distributor of pirated music/games/movies and what not. While this is very true, it is also an excedingly good method of legal file distribution. Therefore, I try to help out those legal files as much as possible and keep my torrents open until such a time as I take them off my computer. If you're paying a monthly fee for your bandwidth, there is no reason not to leave them open. Sure, close your client when you're playing CS-Source, but there is no reason you can't have the client up when you're just surfing the web or typing a paper.

Oh, just thought that I'd mention that it's been about 2 weeks now since I formatted my HD and I've uploaded over 1.6 TB since that time. My ratios don't include all the time before that I've been uploading them :-P. Hurray for school bandwidth and an even bigger hurray for all the legal files that use bittorrent as their distribution method :-D.

Keep you torrents open and the share ratios up. I'm out, peace! 8)

Just a quick question. Am trying to download the packs via Bitlord and as far as I can see there are no seeders at all. I so want these tracks.

Anybody help?

cheers

Perhaps you're behind a firewall or something that doesn't isn't letting your bittorrent client through. Not really sure there but there are quite a few seeds. Just check the stats on the main page if you don't believe me. Anyways, I've never used bitlord so I don't know what's up but Azureus has always worked great for me.

Hehehehe, my share ratio for Chrono Symphonic is now over 850:1. Party at my place when it hits the bit 1K mark! :-D lol

First time poster... Anyway, I just wanted to say that I decided to seed ALL the torrents on my own, without the site telling me to. Heck, it's the least I could do for there being such cool torrented projects that I didn't want to go to waste. :)

And yes, this is me coming outta the closet in terms of being an OCRemix fan. ;)

Greetings oh gurus of remix!

I'm having a problem with the 00001-00500 torrent for some reason. Everything was going fine until about 74% completion, then an error message popped up saying a certain file or directory couldn't be found. I shrugged, closed, then tried the torrent again, but now I can't even get past the file check stage. After a little over two minutes, I get this:

IO Error: [Errno 13]Permission denied

My last attempt registered at 3:27 AM on this post's date. I'm using the BitTornado client and am indeed inputting the same destination folder and haven't altered any filenames. If it's important at all, I currently have two other client windows open for other things, but the transfer rates both ways are rather low, so I don't think they are the problem.

Any ideas?

Why don't you try micro torrent client (http://www.utorrent.com/). Select the same path for the files that you have already downloaded and try downloading from this client. It should automatically check all the files that you have already downloaded. If not, then right click and select the option of force re - check. If downloading doesn't begin by itself then you can use the option of force downloading.

MasterAsh
03-12-2006, 10:19 PM
That did the trick! Got another error around 80%, but the force download got me back on track. Thanks!

MSNM: bloodenator@yahoo.com

AIM: achillesnebula

When you say "after the files download" do you mean after ALL of them are done, or after the first one or two appear to have been completed? You see, BT doesn't download the files in order. It breaks each file up into pieces and then randomly asks the other computers on the torrent for each piece and just stores them until everything is done, at which point it puts everything in order. It sounds to me like you are trying to play a mp3 before the entire batch of files is done and the app can sort everything out correctly.

i had a question

i downloaded the thre ocremix torrents
001-500- 501-1000 and 1001-1250
but i noticed that the mixes in the home page . the last added remixes are not included , so

how do i know how many remixes are there that are not in the torrents ?
are the missing the ones in the home page?
or there is a list for the 50 last added or 100 last added , so i can keep track for the last mix included in the torrents and search for the rest?

i did this because my computer died and i got a new one, but my previous mix collection got lost :(

Every ReMix posted is assigned an ID number. The current most recent remix is #1467. New torrents are made for every 250 new mixes, which means the next torrent will arrive after #1500 is posted. The last remix in the current official torrent set is #1250.

http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01251/ is the first remix on the site that's not yet in the official torrent batches, and http://www.ocremix.org/list.php?type=remixes&offset=1200&sort=dateasc will direct you to a date-sorted list of them, which you can use to browse and download the remaining tracks.

However, there are also several unofficial torrent sets going containing more recent mixes.

There are torrents, in batches of 25 from 1251-1450, here: http://bt.thasauce.net/torrents.php?search=&category=0&active=0

The 1401-1425 torrent was removed because for some reason it was corrupted, and there's no seeds on 1426-1450, but at least everything through 1400 is there. We'll put up batches through 1475 and 1500 when they become available, and then remove them when OCR's torrent goes up (which will most likely be at least some time after #1500 is posted).

I'm having the same problem, using Bitlord as well. A while ago I got Chrono Symphonic through the torent and it worked fine, i can still seed it too. Recently I tried Blood on the Asphalt and it just never connects, same with a few other. I think I'm having problems connecting to the tracker for some reason, but I've never had this kind of problem before.

I noticed recently that Chrono Symphonic actually has two trackers, only one of which I can connect to. That being the compyfox one, but i can't connect to OCR's tracker and I don't know why. Blood on the Asphalt has only one tracker, OCR, so that is why I can't get it, but I still don't know why I can connect to that one.

Some of the older remixes in the torrents still have inconsistencies such as remix.overclocked.org as the website. Will there be a time, let's say, in honor of OCR1500 that all the previous remixes have a unifed ID3 structure and MAYBE the OCR#### in the track # and the year it was submitted (or rather accepted)?

EDIT: OOOH and pictures for album art! :lol:

When you download the torrent, there should be an option to only download certain files. It varies between clients, but you uncheck them from the file list or something. Try checking the properties of the torrent.

If you are downloading the mixes past 1250 into the same folder as you have 1001-1250, the bittorrent client you use should recognize those files (unless those files have been edited to be different from the ones in the torrent), and not re-download them.

Hi,

I'm looking for some files about the 1001-1500 distribution. The old distribution got files like
_003_files.xml and
_003_readme.txt

The XML file got all the OCR###### id and I need this information for the new torrent. The old backend site of OCRemix was also giving this information, but it is gone.

Where can I get a list of files with their OCR ID?

Thanks!!

aubrey
09-04-2006, 07:10 PM
Try: http://www.ocremix.org/backend/manager.php?style=xml

The original url as published in the old torrent readme files doesn't do what you expect anymore, but the above link will get it to work.

I am curious though... the xml list of remixes wasn't included in the torrents because we didn't think that many people would care about it. I personally figured that people would really just want the remixes. So, what were you doing with the xml version?

-Aubrey

Monkey_Island
09-04-2006, 11:22 PM
I figure this the place to post this....

Wasn't the 1-etc torrents suppose to have corrected tag names, id3 info, etc for a "lock-down"? Cuz a quick look through foobar2000 show some stuff that got missed...

Have no id3 tags what so ever:
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Seiken_Densetsu_3_This_Heart_OC_ReMix.mp3
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Chrono_Cross_To_Times_Once_Forgotten_OC_R eMix.mp3

Stuff listed as something other then "http://www.ocremix.org" under album and probably need edits:
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Final_Fantasy_9_MessengerintheKeyofBlack_ OC_ReMix.mp3
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Zelda_64_Awakened_Fears_of_the_Gerudo_OC_ ReMix.mp3
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Secret_of_Mana_Distorted_Star_OC_ReMix.mp 3
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Sorcerian_Cursed_Piano_OC_ReMix.mp3
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Castlevania_4_The_Belmont_Chill_OC_ReMix. mp3
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Xenogears_Momentary_Emotion_OC_ReMix.mp3

Other stuff noticed:
OverClocked ReMix OCR01001 to OCR01500\Secret_of_Mana_Beyond_Comprehension_OC_Re Mix.mp3
Genre tagged as "Secret Of Mana" not" Game"

So it looks like only the 1001 to 1500 files were affected. Also you might want to for excess spacing, stuff like iTunes lists stuff like "http://www.ocremix.org "(with a space) shows up as a different album then one without the space. Might want to use something other then foobar2000 to test that, it just ignores the extra ending space.

Only other thing I spotted was that a lot of stuff doesn't have any year-dates, but that affects both torrents.

I figured I would point this out, since the recent lock down was to make things more permanent, and was planing to remove & reload OCR stuff onto my ipod.

Sorry if my post is redundant or this has already been addressed, I did check for other threads, and I don't browse the forums here too often to know what is going on.

aubrey
09-04-2006, 11:57 PM
It is possible that there were some errors with this 'lockdown' as there was a lot of other stuff djp and crew wanted to acomplish to coincide with the release of OCR01500.

However, from the ones I have checked, whatever id3 tag reader you are using doesn't seem to be reading the tags correctly.

If you open up the Seiken Densetsu 3 remix or the Chrono Cross remix in winamp, it clearly shows id3 tag information. Final Fantasy 9 does have http://www.ocremix.org/ for the album field, And the Secret of Mana remix is tagged as a game in the genre field. I didn't look at the rest of the remixes.

Anyway, I have ran into this problem before with the id3 tag reader I uses on remix.supertux.com. If there is a certain character that appeared in the id3 tag, the reader got all confused and said the remix doesn't have an id3 tag. I imagine that the issue with your reader is something similar.

As for a real answer, probably one of the remix lawyers would have to chime in as to what is going on.

Thanks you Aubrey, this is what I was looking for :-)

Well it is just simple:

I'have a program to catalog all ocremix mp3 (and other songs) called "Mediamonkey". It is a very usefull interface, with an access back end database. I want to put the OCRemix ID in the track number, so that I have the exact order in which the songs where released, and I can burn cds from the first mix to the last mix. It is also very usefull to search back a remix on the web site.

So I'm loading this in the database, and updating the track number with the OCR number, with the help of the xml file.

I have been unable to find Pilotwings 64 Midnight Altitude (1057) in the torrent.
I guess that explains why the torrent still includes Pilotwings 64 'Birdman Clear Skies' (OCR00141), which is listed in the Changelog as part of the lockdown. Looks like a simple mixup. But, aside from a few minor discrepancies in the id3 tags, I haven't noticed any other problems. Thanks to Aubrey and everyone else who put these torrents together – I know a lot of time and effort went into it.

Sewer Thug is a weird one – neither Quicktime nor WMP can play it, for some reason. See the reviews thread (http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=2374215#2374215) for more info.

Rocket
09-06-2006, 03:20 PM
Yes that a big job of manually updating or moving each song to get the proper order. This is why I've also requested before that the OCRID should be written in the track number.

Well, what do you know, you are right, the version of foobar2000 (http://www.foobar2000.org/) I had was foobared.

It still has that same problem with the SOM "Secret of Mana Beyond Comprehension" song, but seeing as Winamp and iTunes gets it right, the foobar2000 program still needs some work.

Come to think of it, I did recall reading about some problems with ID3 tags(i.e. how to read other player's malformed junk, some popular ID3 tags not being official ID3 standard ones, etc), and why the FB2k team didn't like them..... So that would sort of explain things.

I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I didn't want to read through twenty five pages. For the record I did read through the last one.

I downloaded the torrents for the first 1500 mixes, and only have 1390 files. I redownloaded them to the same folder and I'm not getting any more. Is this a common problem?

Dark Phazon
09-18-2006, 02:58 AM
That would not be a problem, since there are not 1500 mixes on this site. The rest of the mixes that used to occupy some of those missing spots in the OCR numbering scheme had been removed (http://www.ocremix.org/info/ReMix_Changelog) for one reason or another.

Xeccos
10-14-2006, 11:30 PM
If no one else is going to make torrents of all the ocremixes with the correct tags, I will. I intend to convert them to Ogg Vorbis, unless enough people care and think I shouldn't. I am of course open to suggestions.

OverCoat
10-15-2006, 12:31 AM
Converting to .ogg is a terrible idea. If they're already in .mp3 format, and you convert them to .ogg, you get both .mp3 encoding artifacts AND .ogg artifacts, all rolled up into a nice, lossy, terrible sounding .ogg package.

So I don't see why you would do that.

http://bt.ocremix.org[/url]]Do not try to play ReMixes while the download is in progress. The songs you listen to will very likely be messed up and sound like they contain pieces of several songs in them. Once your bit torrent client finishes the download, all the songs downloaded will sound like they are supposed to. Seriously. Have some faith.

Now that I've moved into the city and have a great high-speed cable connection(10Mb down/1Mb up), I can seed all the torrents permanently! It's the least I can do for the community that;s given me so much aural enjoyment over the years :D

I read "aural" as "oral". Man I'm perverted...

I'm not seeding right now because I'm on vacation back to my house, and because I always leave my torrents up until my ratio hits 10.0 or more. I may put them back on when I get back to college.

I'have a program to catalog all ocremix mp3 (and other songs) called "Mediamonkey". It is a very usefull interface, with an access back end database. I want to put the OCRemix ID in the track number, so that I have the exact order in which the songs where released, and I can burn cds from the first mix to the last mix. It is also very usefull to search back a remix on the web site.

So I'm loading this in the database, and updating the track number with the OCR number, with the help of the xml file.

Could you tell just how to do this? I tried downloading MediaMonkey, but I didn't see any obvious way for it.

Right click and save as.

Also, this has nothing to do with the OCR torrents.

Is anyone knowledgeable on why the Rise of the Star and Blood on the Asphalt torrents aren't transferring data depsite the seeders and leechers involved? These need to be fixed/reset/whatever, as the download completed # for both hasn't moved for months, and it's obvious people are trying to obtain the files.

CobaltDelta

Okay, I'm a bit of a lurker here, hence my absurdly low post count as opposed to my registration date... But now I have a rather important question - I don't seem to be getting all the files for the main ReMixes.

When downloading the OC Remix 1-1,000 and 1,001-1,500 torrents, I don't get all the files. (Total count is some-odd 1,4xx; the songs break around the end of the Xenogears ReMixes.) Is this a problem with the tracker, or is it just some silly fluke that I could fix by reloading the torrent and re-downloading everything?
Just FYI, I'm using the latest version of Azureus, in case that matters at all.
Thanks for the help.

I can do a little seeding here and there. Nothing consistent - I don't have a machine I can dedicate 24/7, sorry, but I do intend to give back to the OC ReMix torrent community. They made my life a whole lot easier, so I owe y'all at least a little dedicated seeding time, right?

Also, how often do you release new torrents? Every 250 ReMixes or so?

08-03-2007, 04:24 AM
It was caused by a small rift in the time/space continuum. You'll just have to redownload.

Arek the Absolute
08-03-2007, 04:30 AM
Oh jeez, I thought it was another math thread.
If I remember correctly, the reason why it isn't equaling 1500 is because some songs were removed from the site, therefore being removed from the torrent.

This is just an educated guess really. Best to get Larry or someone to chime in on this issue.

CobaltDelta
08-03-2007, 04:37 AM
Well, I would agree with you, Nicholas, but like I said, the files cut off right around the end of the Xenogears remixes.

But maybe that was just a one-time problem...

Either way, having an admin look into this would be really appreciated.

Edit:
Okay, I'm re-downloading the main ReMixes, and I checked the files tab of my torrents. It looks like all the files are in the tracker, and I assume it was just a fluke that caused me to miss the last few dozen the last time.


On an unrelated note, has anyone had their mp3 player separate the album "http://www.ocremix.org" into three separate albums, even though each is absolutely identical? My Zen Vision M does it, and it's really quite annoying to have my Remixes pop up in random places across my playlist (Okay, so they just get out of alphabetical order, but still, it's annoying for someone who's OCD about their playlists...)
I suppose that could be easily remedied by changing the album name, huh?


Edit 2
Nevermind, I see now. Topic merge, for the win. I think.

Liontamer
08-03-2007, 04:42 AM
There's no reason your files should be stopping at Xenogears, though I couldn't explain why that is. Redownloading isn't a terrible suggestion, but it may be time consuming. Aubrey might have to field this one.

But if you are in fact getting the Zs, then... (http://bt.ocremix.org/)

Some remixes have been removed from ocremix because of rules violations, by request, or some other reason. The torrents served here contain only the remixes that are currently published on ocremix. This means that if you download OCR00001 to OCR01250 you will end up with quite a bit less than 1250 mp3s.

Whatever the range is, you will get less than that amount of songs due to ReMix removals.

To answer your other question, we are now releasing updated torrents every 100 songs, or about once a year.

CobaltDelta

Actually, I just noticed that after going back to check on the torrents. You can expect me to seed that one for a good while. I'll try and convince my family to leave it running for at least 24 hours.

erik212
08-03-2007, 05:08 AM
Would it help if I started seeding now?

I have a giant computer which could seed forever, but it's currently off-line for maintenance. In about a week or so I will be able to get THAT one working too. Are the problems with the file fixed?

Edit: Seeing how there's only one seeder at this time, I'll seed for as long as I can, but I'm leaving for a week and this computer may get shut down, but I'll try to keep it on.

Edit#2: Wow, I'm dling this really fast. It should be done in about 3 hours... (I'm the one using utorrent)

CobaltDelta
08-03-2007, 05:59 AM
Would that be the uTorrent at IP 76.99.yadda yadda, or IP 70.181.yadda yadda?

I'm one of the ones running Azureus 2.5.0.4, and I've got an ETA of about TWENTY ONE HOURS. >_<
What kind of internet connection are you running, Erik? I've got the whole 6mbps cable modem dealie going on.

Certainly is slow the first few days of a new tracker's release, huh?

Oh. I just remembered. I might be able to set up a machine dedicated entirely to seeding. It might take a few weeks or so though... I'm not entirely sure on it.

erik212
08-03-2007, 06:18 AM
Hey Cobalt, I've seen you on the help&newbies forum...Good posts BTW.

I don't see any other utorrents on the peer list, but I'm the 70.181,yadda.yadda.

Modem speed is clocked at 1.4(image) & 1.2(second test) mb/s (http://s101.photobucket.com/albums/m76/erik212/?action=view&current=modem_speed.jpg)

Its been running at 300 kb/s + for a while, but now its down to 100 kb/s or so... (Still amazingly fast compared to 60 kb/s average for my crappy wireless signal)

ETA of about 3-5 hours. It fluxes a lot with the pieces being downloaded. Currently around 200 kb/s download. Stable at about 20 kb/sec (max) upload. I have enabled a function called "initial seeding", which should help, although I don't know exactly what it does.

Also, my wireless connection is fairly unstable. It'll probably drop off every 2-3 hours or so for a few minutes. Anyway, I may post from my vacation, but this is goodbye to this computer, which SHOULD be seeding for the next 7-8 days.

FiremanJoe
08-03-2007, 07:55 AM
Man, you guys have some great speeds! =O
We only just upgraded to 1.5mbit, so I can get a max speed of about 160kb/s
Anyway, I've been seeding the OCR torrents for a while now... but what do I do now that the torrent's been changed? I've already downloaded the new songs from supertux, so should I just put them in the folder, rename it and continue seeding? Surely there's a way to keep seeding without redownloading, right?

erik212
08-03-2007, 05:45 PM
Nope, you have to redownload it. You can't change it because it needs to be registered with the tracker...Just redownload it.

My connection is 1.2 mb/s, but I reached 400+ kb/s on the download. It finished in 4 hours sometime last night, so I'll be seeding the updated torrent for at least a week.

EDIT: OK, I needed to re-forward the port because it changed (?), so now my upload connection speed is waaay better.

Alright, final summary: I'll be dedicated to only seeding for the next 7 days while I'm on vacation. I'm the utorrent client at IP 70.180.etc. I'll see if there's any internet where I'm going so I can check in. My max upload slots are 6.

This happens when some of the database tables the tracker uses to keep track of transfer statistics gets corrupted. It happens a fair bit more than I'd like.

If you see this behavior, send me pm on the topic and I will repair the table.

First, this is on the wrong section. You might try Help and Newbies.

Second, there's already an existing threads about the torrents. You would have to look around for it, but I guess looking around for something isn't as easy as just making a post, asking for someone else to look for you.

Third, you can just download the 1600 and over remixes, seeing how there aren't that many of them.

Wow, this was helpful. Nice way to welcome someone.

First: I looked in help and newbies and it seemed like it was for help with the forums, not bittorrent trackers.

Second: I spent half an hour looking around for it, I didn't find it, and since you didn't reference it, I take it you don't know where it is either.

Third: Yeah, I could, But that wasn't the question I asked. I just wanted to know if there was a grouping of them somewhere.

Fourth: I don't think a problem with the tracker is a newbie issue. That effects anyone trying to download.

Here is the error message I get from the tracker.

Error regarding "OverClocked ReMix OCR00001 to OCR01000":
Aborting the torrent as it could not connect to the tracker while not connected to any peers

It only does this for the 0001 to 1000 file.

Um. Ok. I'm not sure whose idea it was to move my post, but I don't really see how it fits here and not where it was. This post is about seeders needed for 1100-1600.

My post is about the tracker not working for 1001-1100.

These are two unrelated subjects and now my post is buried 41 pages down in a post that is unrelated.

Hopefully someone can straighten this out. I am embarrassed for you.

Yep, don't mind Damned being a dick. :lol: I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but I'm sure I've been guilty of it as well. A fair amount of regulars take everything for granted, including how intuitive they perceive the answers to be. For a lot of newcomers, that's just not going to be the case. Welcome!

1) Help & Newbies is for all help; forum issues, downloading issues, computer issues, you name it. So it's not necessarily OCR-exclusive problems, which you can see by reading down the topics list there and getting a feel for the questions that pop up. The moderators can always merge something into the main thread of discussion when that's not actually located in Help & Newbies.

2) I've merged your thread into the main torrenting discussion thread. The talk of seeders is merely a sub-discussion due to the recent new torrent release. You hopefully were redirected to it, but the thread itself is Stickyed at the top of the "Community" forum.

3) Torrents are now updated every 100 mixes (we used to do every 250), so the next torrent revision won't be out for a while (we're currently at #1610). Anything from 1601-on isn't bundled anywhere, so you'd have to grab those 1-by-1.

4) You're correct in that problems with the tracker aren't merely newbie issues. While it *could* be something just on your end, the wording your provided seems to indicate otherwise. We'll have to hit up our torrent guy, Aubrey, to have him investigate further. Thanks for the heads up, and otherwise enjoy your stay!

On topic: any plans on making smaller, more frequent torrents? Like, say... 250 files at a time? Smaller torrents would mean it would be easier to seed (since the smaller transfer wouldn't be a drain on bandwidth), faster to download, and they would be easier to manage; if there are remixes that have been removed or whatever, you only have to alter the one, smaller torrent that is affected.

Just some ideas.

Unfortunately, making the torrents smaller will have the opposite effect you intend.
The smaller torrents, would cause there to be smaller swarms thus less peers and seeds.

You would however see an increase in speed with the latest songs, but a decrease in all the others, in the end it is best to have larger torrents.

Most of the reasons for the larger torrents are for the uploader rather than the downloader. but happy uploaders benefit downloaders.

on a side note: "since the smaller transfer wouldn't be a drain on bandwidth" - you know you can select specific files in a torrent to download right?

I'm also at college, but I can download the torrents. The problem? I can't upload them. Virginia Tech has a daily upload limit set in place, and exceeding that limit is met with consequences. For the first time, your bandwidth is cut for a day to practically nothing (I'm talking slower than dial-up speeds here). Further times result in more serious disciplinary action.

Suffice to say, I would love to seed the project, but just to download it requires me to cut my upload speed to 5 kb/s or less. And even with that, I had to stop my download at only 46% completion because I was getting too close to the upload limit... :banghead:

Try using a different client. Errors occur sometimes because your client is out of date and Bittornado has not been updated since Dec 2006. Try using uTorrent or Azureus, they've been updated within the last three months.

Indeed. I said we update our torrents every 100 ReMixes, and that is the new torrent frequency, about once a year. It used to be every 250 ReMixers until #1600 came out.

Since we are currently at ReMix #1629, I'd recommend you obtain those individually.

Hello,

I have been trying to run the torrents on my vps server, and the trouble seems to be that i am not getting enough peers to seed to.

I am trying to figure out if this is a trouble with my config, or if its part of the the tracker here. I am only able to see 1/4-1/2 of the peers that the web page of the tracker is reporting.

Why i am bothering with this?

I have not been able to upload at the fullest rate, only about 1/4 of my actual bandwidth
(e.g. my connection supports 1.35 Megabytes per sec upload, and im only uploading about 300 Kilobytes/s)

ive been seeding the OCR00001 to OCR01000 torrent, and today (about 12 hrs) i was only able to upload 31 gigabytes, instead of the max of 60-70.

Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?

I can seed; I am on a college connection that is ABSURDLY fast. The only problem is, they filter the download of .torrent files (but they don't filter torrent traffic). So if someone wants to send me the actual .torrent files via AIM or something, that'd be awesome.

Just get tor or use a proxy when you need to download .torrent files. Thats what I do.


I'm @ college as well. I'm uploading @ 400kb/s split between the two big song packs and voices of the life stream. I'll seed for a while since I'm at school for at least another month :P.

FYI, the tracker will be down from July 3rd-6th because of some electrical work in the area.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The server will be back up as soon as possible.

Random question, should torrents take absof***inglutely forever to download? Its been 24 hours and VotL still has a predicted 4 hours left. My dl rate is 40kB/s with 7 seeds, is that normal? I hope not.

It depends on a lot of things. If you have the torrent port on your router blocked off, then yes, 40k is pretty good. If it is open like it should be, then you could be getting several hundred k a second.

But that isn't guaranteed. It of course depends on the quality and number of the peers that you are connecting to. It also might depend on the quality of the networking equipment on your end. Downloads usually speed up over time.

"If you can get several hundred K per second downloading from other torrents, you should be able to get several hundred K per second downloading from VotL."

Is it just me ... or is bt.ocremix down?

It was down for several days because of some power work that needed to be done in the datacenter. And for whatever reason the system didn't come back up on its own.

However, it is back now.

Okay, I downloaded the torrent quite a long time ago, months ago, I haven't really got a chance to go over it or anything and now that I'm transferring songs, I realize that in the folder, it only contains 868 items.

So am I missing more than a 100 songs?

Should I retorrent the whole batch or is that how it was set up?

Thanks for the reply. I also did a quick search about it and found nothing.

08-07-2008, 05:12 AM
thats only because some of the songs from 1-1000 have been removed so in reality you have the full collection from 1-1000 even though you only have 868 songs

So do those songs exist at all?
Is there any way to get a hold of them or were they deleted really, really quickly?

I'm not even sure that this is still open or whatever, but I've been seeding since I've downloaded these. I think I'm at about an 11:1 ratio of seeded:downloaded...and every once in a while I'll upload at something silly like 2 megs per second (college internet is kinda odd).

So, jeah. I don't plan on deleting mine any time soon, either.

FYI

SuperTux, the server that has been hosting the OCR tracker for many years, has lost its network hosting. I had a great setup going and have no complaints.

Anyway the tracker will be back online soonish.

The SuperTux OCR mirror, probably not.

i'm just wondering, because i'm not quite sure, but how often do you guys release more torrents?
i've been considering downloading all the most recent songs since i wasn't sure how long i'd have to wait before a new torrent with all the new songs game out.

thanks :)

Not sure if anyone else is getting this error, but I noticed about 12 hours ago http://bt.ocremix.org/announce is presenting the error 'Tracker sending invalid data: <NULL>.' (This appears in the Trackers tab in uTorrent. I'm using version 1.8.1)
The number of peers is currently displayed as '-112'.

Not sure if this is actually having an adverse effect, but I thought I should make sure just in case.

I think Aubrey's been trying to fix it, as he was aware of whatever the problem was when it first happened last night, but no doubt about it, something got extremely funked up.

Would this website be helped by a Euro mirror at all? To host remixes I mean, not torrents...

I'm looking at a host right now that would give me 167GB of traffic every day, and the transfer speeds seem promising - at least if downloading from a computer located in Europe. Bandwidth still seems to be an issue for this website and if I could help there I'd be very happy to. I need to look up some of the details but the web host seems very very nice.

Would it be possible to get some ballpark figures of the average amount of traffic generated by remix downloads every month, in total, from all 3 mirrors (but not torrents)?

Im not sure how this with torrents work at all. I downloaded the newest Street Fighter album and my upload isnt the best.

So my question is. When i seed does it help at all or am i only "in the way"?

Dafydd
04-04-2009, 09:51 AM
Every little bit helps, as far as I know. I often download things pretty quickly when there's lots of seeders that can only give me a few kB/s each.

I feel so stupid right now... maybe I'm computer challenged or it's because I have a Mac... but I can't seem to get these torrents to work... I'm probably not even doing this right O_o I clicked the link... it downloaded some file... I clicked that, it opened opera (which I don't even think I have, which is weird in itself-- I can't find it anywhere in my finder), and it said something about a transfer. but nothing seemed to happen. A folder suddenly (and immediately) showed up in my downloads folder, with 241 remixes, but the number didn't change, and no new remixes were added. the whole time, the progress bar said 0%, and it didn't seem to be doing anything anywhere else in the window: everywhere indicated that opera wasn't doing anything at all. I'm really confused. How is a program that's not on my computer suddenly downloading almost 250 files, yet not doing anything at all?! Did I miss something here?

I gotta question and a suggestion for torrents (and files)

Question: What is the 1700th remix? (Where does the torrent stop?) I've had the first 2 torrents that went up to like...1500 i think? I cant remember, I dl'd that torrent when it first dropped and I havent downloaded EVERY OCR since then, so I dunno where it stops on the new ones.

Suggestion: Is there any way in the future to number the tracks, or include a text file that does so (in order of the release on site).

__

I know I sound kinda retarded in what Im asking, but I have all of my OCRs in 1 folder, and I've downloaded some here and there, so I dont know how far back I need to go to get back up to date.

WolfenAmphithere
06-10-2009, 05:36 AM
I don't know how to sort them in order of time, but the number of remix is in the URL... sorting them would be a nice feature, though...

EDIT: I just realized that the URL numbers actually go higher than the number of ReMixes. I'll bet it's probably due to the remixes that have been taken down for various reasons. So ignore this post.
EDIT 2: I also just figured out that you can type the number you need into the url. 1700 is http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01700/ (from Ookami, if the link doesn't show up...)

Are the tags going to get switched with the new torrent, so that you have to redownload all of the mixes? Just curious. I remember reading something about that a while ago.

I've downloaded the torrents for 1-1000 and 1001-1900. The download gives me 1759 files, and as I understand, the discrepancy is because of the removed ReMiX's. No prob. The problem I have is when I select all the files and drag them into iTunes, and reselect them all in iTunes, it only shows 1757 songs at the bottom. I have no idea how if I drag 1759 songs into iTunes, I only get 1757 songs. I can even drag all files onto the Winamp playlist and it will recognize all 1759.

Does anyone have any theories about why iTunes doesn't recognize the missing two? Could there be an album title discrepency because I am searching for them by "www.ocremix.org"?

It's not because you have a mac. :P

I mean, it worked for me. Google "transmission torrent" and download the program. Dunno how well Opera works as a torrent client, but I think Transmission could be easier to use.

Do you know how torrents work? Basically, the file you downloaded contains info on how to piece the remixes together from parts the program downloads from other ppl instead of from a central server (like the mirrors on the remixes' download pages).

As with any download, you need the data in it and not just the name and extension. :P Check the file sizes, they shouldn't be very large. Keep the program open for a while and it should connect and start downloading. it'll take a while tho, but you can stop the download and close the program, open it again later (eg. if you need to shut the computer at night) and it'll pick up where it was before (after connecting).

If you need more info on torrents, google it or read on wikipedia.

Sorry nobody's replied to this before. Dunno about iTunes on windows, but on mac there's at least two remixes that iTunes can't load, from God of War and Zelda ALttP iirc. Larry had apparently fixed a lot of mp3-related problems with the torrents, dunno if the updated torrent uses those updated ones. Check if you have a god of war remix, and post here. Larry might need to know.
