Doulifée Posted December 21, 2003 Posted December 21, 2003 i stop seeding myself this time because the number of leechers are weak. my torrent do not upload anything so i seed other files. but if the number of leecher increase count me in ! Quote
Coleosis Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 True, I hardly had anyone leeching off of me, so I decided to close the torrent. Quote
Oddity Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 Shouldn't this be in the spotlight with the OC Radio? Quote
ElZog Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Well, I'm on the job now too, i'm downloading the first 500 right now, at 50 kb/sec, but all my current files aren't gettin recognised. I recently did a full system wipe and saved the music on my iPod and i think that it must've altered the song titles, to keep a certain length limit. But still, i am going to seed for as long as possible, but my family may force me to turn off the PC every now and then. Quote
Doulifée Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 about my previous post with my problem for torrents recognizing all the files, i'am sure now that windows media player 9 alter the tags for it's own purpose with his star classification system, so if you use Wmp9 keep the file on "read only" to allow torrents to found the tags as they were on ocr Quote
warhorse Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Will there frequently be new .torrent files that contain the new remixes that will work with the current directory structure so our torrent clients only download the new songs? Quote
aubrey Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I wouldn't say frequent, but I'd imagine that there would be a new torrent every 500 remixes or so. Probably a while after that even as I would imagine DJP would like to 'lock down' the names of the previous 500 first, and that may take a while. That said, I'm just guessing. I do know from my discussions with DJP that he wishes that we could somehow use the torrents to serve mixes more frequently, but with the nature of seeders and such, I'm not sure how that would be easily possible. So, if any of you know about how bit torrent works and have ideas about how to serve more recent ReMixes via bit torrent, I'm sure DJP would be interested... Aubrey Quote
warhorse Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Here's what I was thinking: Since the bit torrent client is smart enough to know what files have already been downloaded and what files still need to be downloaded, it wouldn't be too hard to updated the .torrent file say, the first day of every month, with the new songs tacked onto the old directories. That way, everybody could get that month's new remixes while continuing to seed the old ones as well. The only major problem would be to coordinate the switchover every month, but it would probably just be a matter of getting the core seeders to switch over the majority of the bandwidth so that there would be no incentive to use the old torrent files. Also, I think it should be noted that everybody should be seeding, no matter what their bandwidth. My DSL slows to a crawl if I try to do anything, but I can spare 5kB/sec. It isn't much, but it is a megabyte in under 4 minutes, and if everybody did just 5kB/sec, the available speed would be astronomical. Quote
ElZog Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Well, i am seeding while i can, and am giving a out 10kb/sec u/l speed on each torrent right now without to much hassle on my connection. It appears once again AOL is showing its connection stability, i still wasn't having problems when the u/l speeds at 20+kb/sec Quote

You would be surprised as to how many mp3s have been pulled from the site, some months after posting, some hours. Like Aubrey said, after 500 maybe another lockdown and torrent then. Quote
Mark7 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I lost 75 of my files with the torrent. So my question is: what happens if a file has the same name but not the same size? Will it be overwritten? that would explain it. Quote
Oddity Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Which 75 files did you lose? Did you lose them when everything was done downloading? If so, it's because there aren't actually 1000 mixes when everything is done downloading. Just trying to get more specifics. If you stopped the download and had tons of unfinished songs, and then redownloaded, it would find the same file names and continue to build on their kilobyte count. I could only see someone accidently getting duplicates, rather than missing files. Quote
Mark7 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 Well, i have almost every ocremix. Then i tried the bittorent and alot of files turned into 0kb files. Apparently it tries to redownload more than half of the total remixes. I can hardly believe that more than half of my files is not the same as the ones in the torrent and have to be redownloaded.

Corporal Eschebone Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 I can hardly believe that more than half of my files is not the same as the ones in the torrent and have to be redownloaded. You may have outdated tags. Quote
Mark7 Posted January 2, 2004 Posted January 2, 2004 they've all been updated? That explains it... Quote
Bachus Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Is there another BitTorrent client for Mac OS X other than the official one? It can't support the 500+ open files at one time, but I couldn't find another client on versiontracker.com. Of course, if the files were re-seeded zipped into one (smaller) file, that would be nice too... Quote
cyber148 Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 whenever i use bt i get one of the songs from altered beast mixed switched with robochocobo voice mix i mean it has alltered beast as its name but it is robochocobo voice Quote
aubrey Posted January 6, 2004 Posted January 6, 2004 Bachus: I've used the official BitTorrent client for OSX and found that it could support downloading torrents with about 960 files just fine. As far as I was aware, only the official windows version (and those based closely on it) that had issues with torrents with > 500ish files... Are you just wanting a better client? Or are you having issues downloading the ocremix torrents to your Mac? cyber148: your client is downloading bits and pieces from all the songs randomly. Your client will automagically reassemble the MP3 pieces in the proper order once it is done downloading all the data via bit torrent. Just have some patience, and everything will work out.

Draco Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Well, I've left up my server seeding BT for a little bit for those to leech off from. Been pushing 350 k/sec to others throughout today for the second set of files. (OCR00501 to OCR01000) I might need to re-download the first set since I ran into garbled and mixed up mp3's (anyone run into this too?), which was odd. I was pushing around 800-1000 k/sec on the first set of files, but I can only do that in the AM - I can't do that during the PM. It would kill the servers we host. Anyhow, I'll be leaving up both sets limited at 100-200 k/sec (each set) for a bit of this week, or until we get complaints. Enjoy. - Draco PTServers.com Gaming Quote

Whenever I try to download the songs I get "Download Failed! trouble accessing files - [Errno 24] Too many open files: 'path/to/Mega_Man_3_ProtoVaffe_OC_ReMix.mp3'", or another song close to that one. I assumed this was a problem with the BitTorrent client. This is with OS X.2.8 and BitTorrent 3.2.2a. Quote
aubrey Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 This is with OS X.2.8 and BitTorrent 3.2.2a. Hmm, I didn't test that client. The system I'm using here is also on 10.2.8, but I'm using BitTorrent 3.3a. I bet if you upgrade to a newer client, your issues will go away. http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html Aubrey Quote

Draco Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Well that was fast, lol - we got complaints, took it down. Damn BT client.. *grin* Quote
