Mods, Sticky this thread please.
My question is: Why is it being done this way? Were there compications with the replication process? Is this just more cost effective?
Just wondering…
Yeah, first thing that came to my mind when I saw this as well.
Not bad not bad, I’ll download away.
I’ve never seen such a fast torrent in my life. 800kb/s download?? 450kb/s upload?? Geez! I’ll be done with the whole thing in two hours!
And don’t forget to pony up some monetary support.
You’ll get fast speeds at first, then nothing. Everyones stuck at around 22% right now. Its almost like its distributing the file evenly to everyone before it starts letting anybody download a new section of the file or something. Or maybe the seed is just horribly slow, not sure.
Thread title is misleading…
Well, I guess it’s “free” but didn’t Inkblot mention a pay-by-honour system?
Donate $10 if you like what you got.
Don’t forget to seed fuckers. If not, you will die a horrible death.
Once my mother gets home SRK will have my 10 bucks!
Yeah, now I’m at 22.9% and downloading at >10kb/s. Uploading like the craziness, though, it’s currently going at 1 mb/s. Yeah, 1 MEGAbyte per second.
Do you have any idea how long it takes to distribute an entire DVD? 4.4gigs is by no means a small download. What you’re describing is exactly how BitTorrent works when there are only a few seeds. Just be patient and most likely, everyone who’s downloading now will finish downloading at the same time.
Thanks for this.
I’d be happy to donate whatever i got ATM.
Yeah, I’ll donate too.
Actually, I wasn’t even going to buy the DVD. But now they’ll actually make some money off me. weird.
“Yup you read it right. Shoryuken.com released the 3rd Strike tourney for free. Why? Well Customflix (SRK’s Evo DVD Authoring/Replication site) could not get the video to work properly on DVD. So instead of letting the footage go to waste SRK released it for free. Thanks SRK!” -Go For Broke News @ Combovideos
If I wasn’t already going to be spending so much this weekend I’d donate, but hey, donating for something that was going to be dumped?
so then the MvC2, tekken tourneys WILL be available for purchase at some point??
or will I be able to download it further down the road?
i actually wanna see the MvC2 footage.
EDIt
nvm… i just read the info on this link
http://shoryuken.com/?page_id=65
and found the answer. thanks anyways.
noooo! I have dial up! it would take about a week to download 4 gigs (cries)
A week? Try MONTHS, lol.
Inkblot/Ponder:
I have a unique problem in that I am unable to download the file at home as I have win98 (can’t manage file size > 4gb). I am downloading it at work however, but as my work pc doesn’t have a dvd writer I’ll be unable to burn the file.
If I donated the money into your personal paypal account ($10 per dvd + postage) would you post the dvds to my house? I’ll be seeding each dvd at work to at least 100gb as I have good upload speeds and I’ll send u proof of this. Could we work that deal? :tup:
PM if interested.
can’t we do this for earlier competitions too (evo 03, evo 04, etc…)???
If OverWorld was right, then no they cant sent the DVD to you as the company who was supposed to duplicate the DVD could not do so…Maybe you just gotta download it at a friends house…
But Ink/Ponder have the ISOs. I’m just asking if they could personally send it to me as a one off. Technically I can ask any of you guys to send me a burned copy but I wanna support srk which is why I offered to pay to their personal accounts so they know I’ve donated.
