485564 2006-09-19 04:34:00 My flatmates downloading RC1 as we speak, if required i could probably be convince to help out anyone in hamilton who wants a copy. Pete O'Neil (6584)
485565 2006-09-19 04:35:00 I just used UltraISO to make an image of the DVD but the size of the image is only 289MB? If I uploaded that would the resultant disc be 2.5GB in size or am I doing something wrong. I was going to make an image using Nero and then upload that.

Any ideas.

Cheers

485566 2006-09-19 16:28:00 Ok I've got the iso image the way it should be and it's currently being uploaded . . . very slowly unfortunately . So please be patient .

Also, there are 66 members eligble for access to the download . What I will do is assign a max of 33 members per server that I have been offered (BTW big thank you to Chill and mejobloggs for their hosting services) I am currently uploading to one server and the 2nd will follow shortly after . Once both servers have the image uploaded I will start sending PM's to all those elgible .

To be fair I will recheck the post counts so that as many users as possible can have access . Once the max limit has been reached we will have to start burning DVD's for our neighbours . I will do South and East Auckland, so if you're in South or East Auckland PM me with your details .

If you're willing to burn DVD's for others please post here which areas you can do .


Cheers

485569 2006-09-20 03:40:00 Found a copy mate, one of our technicans down in Dunedin has put an ISO on a server for me, slow going pulling it up though. SolMiester (139)
485570 2006-09-20 03:45:00 Yes it is slow as on this side too . It may take the next few days before the image is up .

485571 2006-09-20 04:57:00 Hi Chief. What about the idea of offering Vista via torrent when the download cap blows up every month?

Cheers :)

485572 2006-09-20 05:39:00 To be perfectly honest I have no idea what you mean . Having spoken to Chill n mejobloggs, they are happy that the image is 2 . 5GB and may be able to squeeze a little more than the previously stated 100 d/l per month .

Please explain a little more about what you mean? I'll try anything to get this working as sson as possible .

Cheers

chiefnzWhat format DVD's are people using? I use +R but I know some machines can't handle that format.

Incidentally, put me down as a POSSIBLE for this idea (Taranaki region). Anyone interested in this from Taranaki PM me :). Will make a firm decision based on a few things ... but mainly on response
