hey Brian Pauley
Thanks for putting the biathlon torrent up. One thing though, you need to
reconnect to the torrent and make those video files you got from "you know who" available and wait til at least one other guy gets 100% so rest of us in turn can get our copy. Right now I count at least 12 other people stuck at 63.3% completion. Nobody can do anything until you re-connect! If you feel that you can't stick around on the torrent long enough to do this because say you have a really poor upload speed on your internet connection (another reason why Comcast cable internet is a piece of crap) then you should let somebody else who has better connection service (Verizon fiber optic kicks butt!) get the video first from our friend overseas. Thanks shreddir |

hey Brian Pauley
Thanks for saying something. 63.3% on the women's and and 65.5% on the
men's. What Brian probably needs to do is leave his computer on overnight one or two nights so that some can finish and then seed others. I don't know if Comcast is involved, since it doesn't seem to be a problem on mine. But to help with that, everyone using Azureus should go to Tools Options Connection Transport Encryption and check the first three boxes: Require encrypted transport, Allow outgoing nonencrypted if encrypted fails, and allow nonincryped incoming. I've read that these help get around blockage. Other BT clients presumably have similar settings. rm "shreddir" wrote: Thanks for putting the biathlon torrent up.

My issue with Comcast is not whether you can set up the torrent client to work, I using Comcast right now with Utorrent. It sucks and I will dump them as soon as Verizon fiber optic is available where I live. Even you do the settings correctly with any client program the max effective torrent upload speed you can get with their standard cable package is 10% of their advertized 485kb upload speed which is about 48-50kb/s. This is really slow for seeding anybody especially if a lot of people connect as peers. That's why last year when I was doing most of the NRK recording for the group I would tell only people who I knew had fast upload connection the torrent address first and once they had a 100% copy only then would I announce the torrent link to the rest of you in the newsgroup. The only way any Comcast subscriber should be the intial seeder is MAYBE if they have their so called "Blast" service which costs more $$ and allegedly has a higher upload speed. I say again, Comcasts download speed is irrelevant to help get those first seed copies up and running. Look at Oskar's seeding when he puts up his torrents. His Swedish internet service is outstanding. I have seen his connection feed me his file at speeds up to 250kb/s while rest of us Comcast cable losers are feeding each other is in single digits or teens. This is why he can create other seeders in only a few hours. We all need to give Oskar major props and thanks for his recordings and having such good upload service. wrote in message ...

Yes indeed - nifty quick with the Davos files Oskar. - you the man! btw, I have BT ADSL service at home - perhaps a bit better than this Comcast, but still lousy upstream speeds. I got a laptop that comes and goes with me to work each day, but when home, I'll leave all nordic ski files seeding active for a week or so. |

hey Brian Pauley
I'll have to defer to your knowledge of this. It may have been put
back to default with a recent update, but some time back I had set my total upload speed to 30 kbps and regularly see transfers in the upper 20s. Not great, but then I don't have anything to compare it to.

Hi,
I haven't been ignoring your conversation, I just got back to a computer. I apologize for my apparent teasing of you with the incomplete file. In my defense, I did leave my computer on with these torrents going for three days and waited until I saw that there was another seed out there for each before I had to shut down for the weekend. I will not be able to log on until tuesday nights as I'm still out of town. I apologize for the inconvenience. Brian On Dec 8, 11:42 pm, "shreddir" wrote: Thanks for putting the biathlon torrent up.
