Title: Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape
Post by: Orjan on January 13, 2005, 04:39:37 PM

My friend finally got around to give me the .avi version of my tape that I gave to him some months back, so now anyone who wants to sneak a peek, can do so.. :-)

But I don´t really know how to make it avaliable for download.. The only thing I can think of is Bittorrent, but perhaps someone else has another idea?

Share it through AmiGift (http://amigift.sourceforge.net) ;-).

I'd say bittorrent it until someone hosts it. I'm curious as a cat to see it.

I would prefer FTP, but my broadband connection is seriously crippled, since it for some strange reason goes thru a router in our basement, and the admin doesn´t seem to want to open up all the ports directly to my computer... Sucks! :-(

I´ll create a torrent and post the link a little later..

Sounds interesting.

Not too keen on Torrents personally, but at least it gives me a reason to fire up Tomato Torrent

I can host it on my site if you want.  It only has a 512 Kbps pipe to the 'Net, but it's better than nothing.  The question is how to get it from you to me.  Let me know.

Post by: Orjan on January 13, 2005, 06:26:05 PM

Do I need to connect to a specific server? Otherwise it´s shared now... The file is called "Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape.avi".
Title: Re: Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape
Post by: Amigaz on January 13, 2005, 06:31:54 PM
eehmm....sure it's shared?
Just tried a search for it but nada.
I'm connected to all servers me think.
Bittorent would be better IMO.
Title: Re: Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape
Post by: Orjan on January 13, 2005, 06:33:18 PM

I provided a link to the .torrent a few posts back..

I don´t really know how Emule works, so I might have missed something..
Title: Re: Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape
Post by: Vincent on January 13, 2005, 06:51:32 PM
I get bad file info when I try to run the torrent.  I'd be willing to seed it for the weekend to let everybody get it.

--edit--

Okay, weird thing alert - can't save it or open it using Opera (even spoofed as IE), but I can open it through IE :-?

Leeching it now, I'll leave the pc on all night for you guys :-)

Post by: Orjan on January 13, 2005, 07:07:52 PM

Yep, there are some people getting it... Not too fast though... :-(

But I´ve managed to share more than 100MB now... :-)

You could try to upload it to Aminet.net. But I don't know if this movie is illegal.
Title: Re: Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape
Post by: Orjan on January 13, 2005, 07:37:47 PM

Well, in a strict, legal, pool-cue-up-my-ass kind of way it technically is "illegal", but I thought since the company that made it doesn´t exist anymore, and the tape is ( or at least was ) being sold for the cost of the media, no-one would really care about it...

Right? :-)

If I can get it, ill connect to Razorback 2 later and host it on Edonkey for people, thats cool.

If anyone has FTP'd it to webspace, please PM me and let me know.

I'll help seeding when I get it down. TPB's  tracker seems to be dodgy as usual, though.

HTTP download (http://85.224.57.0/Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape.avi)

It's a 1 Mbit line, so don't expect faster speeds than 100 Kb/sec.

I hate torrents too, im currently downloading at 8KBps, when the maximum download speed I can acheive is 192KBps.

The most I've ever had from a torrent was 13KBps.

It's the most over-rated piece of software I have ever used.

Any chance of sharing it with KazaaLite?

Oooops missed that one! Thanks. :-D

Is it just me or does anyone else find bittorrent in general really slow?
Title: Re: Unofficial AmigaOS 3.5 Promotion Tape
Post by: Orjan on January 13, 2005, 08:59:38 PM

I guess torrents really depend on a system of verifying that people "seed" alot, and not uploading everything people can think of ( as on the "professional" torrent sites ) and not as on the tracker on which I uploaded my torrent, on which there is no content-control, nor obligement to seed.. Which perhaps overloads the tracker, resulting in poor connections to other users...

Those are my thoughts, anyway... :-)

It's quicker than torrent so will suit me fine
Downloading now, thanks

Oh yes.. anyone complaining about Torrents, don't blame the software, I have used many different apps and still slow, or lucky to download anything

Not so good now it has stopped at 60Mb of the 75Mb file


 :-(

The part of the file which has downloaded only plays audio.

@HopperJF
Do you have your internet connection behind a router; cos slow torrent downloads are normally the symptom of lack of port-forwarding. BitTorrent loves ports 6881-6889 (Traditionally). I know this cos I used to suffer from having downloads at around 2KB (If they'd connect at all) and after discovering the cure, I could download at fullspeed. Just downloading this file, was around 20KB per second which aint bad at all.
Hope this helps at all

It's a *brilliant* vid! If you believe the vid everybody in Amiga International's offices was exclusively using Amiga's :-D.

So er, what's the story of this vid? Was it shown at a shown? Was it distributed to Amiga dealers?

-edit-
Cool, Petro T. plays Super Stardust :-D. Only...somebody please give him a decent joystick.
