Slashdot Mirror
Star Wars: Revelations Available Online
Lemming Mark writes "Panic Struck Productions have just released their first Star Wars movie, 'Revelations.' The movie has been produced on a not-for profit basis by a team of volunteers and is available for free download. Despite its humble origins, the production appears extraordinarily professional. The film is over 40 minutes long, complete with space battles and lightsaber fights -- need I say more?
See more details at the official site, or jump straight to the download mirrors." (As promised last month.)
Torrents down. Never, ever run your tracker on the same server as your full download mirror.
How long have you let it run? BT can be very slow to start, especially with the full force of a slashdotting.
Do you have the port(s) open? Many people do not, so the two of you can't connect.
To clear up a few misconections:
1. BT does not need any ports open, but it speeds things considerably. I went from 6KBps to 380KBps by opening 1 port.
2. Torrent files can be mirrored. There are links to the Corel mirrors, which everyone should be using for full effectiveness.
BT does connect to a centra tracking server, but the communication is minimal. Most tracking servers are on sufficient connections to handle just about anything.
3. BT takes time to connect with other. You are connecting to many people, and those connections take time to establish. Be patience and thankful someone took the time to provide you with something free.
4. BT is capable of extremely high speeds. You will probably run in to limitations in Internet Connection, Local Network, Hard Disk, Processor, and PCI bus limitations before the software limits you (most likely in that order).
5. BT is bad in ______ way (fill in the blank). Thanks for taking time out of your busy day to point out a deficiency in something you paid nothing for. Please try fixing the problem, rather than complaining about it next time.
