New Star Wars Movie From the Makers of 'Troops'

Anonymous Coward writes "A new fan-made Star Wars production is underway from the creators of the well-known 1997 Star Wars spoof 'Troops'. I.M.P.S. - The Relentless is a documentary style feature following the crew and missions of an Imperial Star Destroyer during the height of the Galactic Empire. While slightly more serious than Troops, the first available chapter of I.M.P.S is an exceptionally well-produced (and still subtly humorous) piece of fanfilm. Worth it for the incredible CGI alone."

      For those who don't want to deal with trackerless torrents/ /Magnet URIs, etc. (see above), which are faster...

      This torrent below will give you a smaller torrent, so a slower download - you have been warned:

      One torrent of the torrent:
      http://www.iddl.vt.edu/~jackie/imps_chapter1_DAVEN PORT_928735.avi.torrent

      And may /. have mercy on my tracker.

    What an intense movie! Although a bit short for a movie, I don't understand why the credits ends with "SERVICE NOT AVAILABLE". Who is this "AVAILABLE" fellow and what did he had to do with the movie?

  11. Nah..use Magnet URI by Danathar · · Score: 5, Informative

    If you have azureus...just juse the Magnet URI

    magnet:?xt=urn:btih:RDFJDRRUQXGXPZBH7BCFXGRPGKAC VJ FR

    Note...slashdot puts a space before the last two characters..so when pasting the URI into Azureus (latest version) with "open location" be sure to omit the space.

    AND...be sure you have trackerless BT plugin enabled! (when starting up Azureus it takes a couple of min to integrate into the DHT network)

  12. Re:MOD PARENT UP by Danathar · · Score: 4, Informative

    One of the original posts had a posting to the torrent file on torrentreactor. The file downloaded but the tracker was obviously down.

    In Azureus if you right click on the torrent file under "my torrents" you will see an option at the bottom that says "copy magnet URI to clipboard"

    As for information. I learned about it from wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_link

    It is'nt the best description in the world but there are links at the bottom and within the document that link to better sources of information.

    I find it amazing that more torrent sites don't publish the URI in addition to the torrent file.

    The biggest problem is that people seem to not understand what/how Magnet URI's work in conjunction with Azureus.

    I find it amazing that more torrent sites don't publish the URI in addition to the torrent file.

    Yeah, but please note that some sites (e.g. torrentspy) publish an equivalent information: the info hash.

    You can convert an info hash to a magnet URI and vice versa with this small Python script: simply pass the hash or the URI to the command line.
