  1. 1. Should Larry bring back VGF as OCR's podcast?

    • Yes
    • [b][size=7]YES[/size][/b]
    • Larry's merely part of the establishment now (i.e. yes)
    • Yes, as this promotes affirmative action

It's not about popularity demand. Indeed not!

I have an eye on the tracker from time to time spreaded over the day. Sometimes there's someone who wants a newer showpack, somtimes there's one who wants an older one, sometimes there's one who wants all packs at once (which isn't that fair either).

I only have a limited amount of bandwidth by myself that I have to share with my family who bitches at every possible moment that I use up the full range even if it's my ISP connection and not theirs. Not to mention that I'm surely not always there to help out. My seeding PC is also my studio PC at the same time. And sometimes I just want to swtich it off or have to work on other material (engineering and mastering for others, own songs, ...), etc.

The most sad thing since I started the tracker:

Okay... I am the master seeder. But 90% of the finished uploads go to my count alone. Yeah, even though I can only offer 20k/s max (which doesn't mean I "have to" do so) and sometimes have all seeds open. Most of the files offered were from me. Seldom from someone who was so kind helping out. It's not on my side but I think it's more the mentality "I have my stuff, why should I help out?!". And this simply can't work this way.

This whole torrent thing started as idea to help out Larry get his shows to the audience as he can only offer the last 1-2 shows on his own webspace and the question always comes up "where can I get an old show?! I missed one". Not to mention that the shows getting longer/bigger as you might already recognised. I sure did my thing and as soon as a new batch comes out it is me again that's the only one who offer a complete set for seeding. And if you can remember - the last times even with 20k/s dedicated for one open file only.

Short said: the torrent is the only possibility to get all old material and even some goodies that're usually not available. For example the aftershows, which we aren't forced to record them - we do this voluntarily!

A solution to this problem must be found. All I can do is share what I have. I always offer new material for you but have no backup support from those who already snagged the material via Larry's page or the torrent to help out seeding. If others (in other words you, the listeners or the fandom) don't do that and always have an excuse with whining/bitching in the subtone then the whole torrent thing isn't worth a thing. At least in my opinion.

Like I said... I did and still do most of the "offering" for you alone. I look for bugs, try to help out why the seeding doesn't work for each individual user. But I can't seed alone anymore! Especially not as soon as the new packs (VGF#44.99-#50, Prior-20 shows, Aftershow pack) will be out. And I know a lot of you are not fond of snagging a 1+GB pack (which the latest show pack will be for sure) with just 3k/s.

Just my two cents.

I don't frequent these boards too often, but I am offering my services in seeding the VGF torrents as often as I can. I only have 46-47 fully completed as of now, but I'll leave that window open as often as I can, and, when I get other show sets finished, I'll let those stand for y'all, again; as often as I can. (Hooray for broadband and lots of free time!) Rock. \m/

If you still need it, there's at least one seeder per pack each. I also started 44.99 & 45 with like 10k/s.

Okay, cool. I'll go home tonight to check if I'm getting any of it.

Oh, and I'll be seeding more episodes. I would be doing it already, but last time I was prepping episodes to be seeded, I was unable to access your tracker.

Looks like the laptop's AC adapter connection area is being a ho. Gonna have to get it repaired, and hope to get the comp back on Thursday. VGF's cancelled for now, with hopefully a makeup coming late during the week, perhaps Friday. Apologies to everyone, especially Bladiator (Happy Birthday!)

Gah! This is the worst b-day ever.

Ouch, sorry to see the show didn't go ahead. :( But heck, I'm sure we can all wait on for the makeup show when it comes around. Good luck getting the comp fixed.

And happy birthday to the B-Unit, you lucky bastard, you :D

[EDIT: And I don't know what the heck some of these people were getting at to me in episode 50's chatlog (yes, I sneaked my way onto Paige's webspace :P) but some of their comments I found were rather offensive. I know it's meant to be a sarcastic atmosphere, but... "so fat offline and online"? WTF?]

Since D-Lux is still locked out of his account, I suppose it falls to me to express frothing outrage at your choice of day for a make-up show.

*ahem*

You know that's when VGM is, you silly.

Who said that? Try not to mind them Rexy. 95% of the people on there are pathetic bozos who are worth less than sewer shizz.

This does beg the question though if the chatroom might need new/real rules and rules enforced...

That quote came from Gothic_Fairy_Princess, or OverCoat. Then again, almost anything could be expected from him. :?

But yeah, I found that to be an awkward surprise as such; not exactly the best thing to see first thing in the morning, but I'll try my best not to be so rash next time.

Ironically, I don't know what to expect from yanks on a Saturday night ^_^;
