I decided to reformat and none of the codecs were working without SP2 so i had to install it i think once u dl sp2 its data is saved on your file no matter what.. might just be my comp tho. Is there anyway to make BT work with sp2? or am i screwed?

My BT works but its VERY slow

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Sep 21 2004, 06:21 PM
Well you might want to read this if your download is really slow. https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=7402. Your kinda confusing me with what you said. Are you talking about video codec or just Bit Torrent. Im on SP1. Im not gonna deal with SP2. My Bit Torrents work fine. please explain a little better.

Posted by: Shadow86 Sep 21 2004, 06:26 PM
Im talking about BT. Mine was working fine before SP2 so i guess its just SP2 i was just wondering if there was a way to make it work with SP2 is all.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Sep 21 2004, 06:28 PM
I have no idea. If you are using DSL then you will have a problem with SP2 I heard. My suggestion is that you get rid of Sp2. Go to add and remove in Control Panel and select the corrct Windows "Hot Fix" i think its called, to uninstall it.

Posted by: Shadow86 Sep 21 2004, 06:52 PM
Now that i have sp2 even if i reformat the stuff like (codecs) wont work without sp2 now.. sp2 has royally f**ked me in the ass

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Sep 21 2004, 06:57 PM
Thats why I dont upgrade to SP2. When big updates come out like that one I wait to hear enough about it to get it or not. Well I cant help you out much since I dont even have SP2. Just try uninstalling the SP2 Hot fix.

Posted by: EvilTaxi Sep 21 2004, 07:07 PM
SP2 works fine for me. No problems whatsoever, aside from the memory bug with BT and hashing.

Posted by: crzydriftin Sep 22 2004, 09:43 AM
two things that'll help......

1. what codecs did u install? cause theres some good ones on this forum if u ever have problems viewing the clips.
Takumi Trueno&EvilTaxi.... can u guys help me out on this one for the links? :Xl:thanks really appreciate it

2. try installing an updated version of bt http://bittornado.com/

or try to run some software like.... spy/adware removers and your antivirus program. better to clean everything off cause if when u installed SP2, maybe there was some spy/adware still on your hd thats causing this problem.

and for bt to be working so slow...... it takes time for it to reach other comps, kinda like when your searching for files on a P2P.


hope that helps

Posted by: Shadow86 Sep 22 2004, 06:36 PM
Well after reformatting and not installing SP2 my codecs (the most recent ones you can get of DivX And XviD) did not work untill i installed SP2. BT gets up to max speed but it takes a long time T.T with SP2 i guess its just something ill have to live with smile.gif

Hey its me hey i got some paintball tourney film that i need to host on a bit torrent and the problem is that i dont know how, can someone explain it in the easist wat posible???

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Sep 30 2004, 08:25 PM
The only hard thing about Making a Torrent Is Finding a Tracker to host the torrent and A program to make the Torrent With. The program that you need to make a torrent is called "Make Torrent". The program is very simple. You just need to select the file or directory you want the torrent to be of. Then you need a tracker to host it on. Once the torrent is made you need to open it, and be ready to seed when you release to to whoever.

Here is the program http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/burst/maketorrent-2.0final.exe?use_mirror=cesnet

If you want anyone to get the file try uploading the torrent to http://www.Suprnova.org

Posted by: t0k3r Sep 30 2004, 08:29 PM
is there any free tracker place i can host it? its about 200mb.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Sep 30 2004, 08:35 PM
The size of your file doesnt matter. here is a list of trackers. Make sure to read before just picking one. Make Sure its active too. http://thebeehive.info/?p=tlist&PHPSESSID=2b7af0bb556985afab02cd13ed551181

okay thanx

Posted by: plaguepunx Oct 1 2004, 08:42 AM
Are you sure you have the right ports open? O and SP2 tries to add "more security" to windows so it has a better firewall but I would turn it off and use a seperate one like http://zonelabs.net. Its free.

Posted by: alco Oct 5 2004, 05:57 AM
Service Pack 2 limits the TCP/IP stack to a ridiculously low amount of possible connections per second - thus crippling torrent clients from amassing peers in a short space of time. This has been well documented and it's probably on every torrent-news site there is.

There's a fix for this problem - and you were right - it's because of service pack 2 and service pack 2 alone. You should disable the new firewall, and make sure you open ports on any 3rd party software/hardware firewalls you have.

Here's what you want:

You should connect to peers much faster now!

resume my downloads using another client?

i was using azureus to dl a few things and now it jus wont run, reinstalled etc.... no luck

can i use a diff client to resume these torents? or will i needa start from scratch?

hope this is in right section:)

Posted by: Baki_Hanma Oct 10 2004, 08:31 AM
http://www.bittornado.com/

Just get Bit Tornado. You should be able to resume no problem.

Posted by: RakeRon Oct 10 2004, 09:55 AM
What exactly is the error Azureus is giving you? I've never had any problems with it before and it always worked. Do you have the latest version of Java and the latest release of Azureus installed?

(off topic) BTW: I dunno why BitTornado (aka Shad0w's Client) is so heavily prased. That thing never worked for me and when it did would only download at like 5k max while Azurues would download anywere between 40 - 100k on my DSL.

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Oct 10 2004, 11:15 AM
The Bit Torrent Client has nothing to do with how fast you can download. It all has to do with how many seeds and Peers there are to download from. Do you think you will download at 100k with only 1 seed? Of course not. The ony other thing that affects your speed is if you have your ports open or not.

Posted by: RakeRon Oct 10 2004, 01:27 PM
Takumi: I've tried both clients on anime torrents with a 1000+ seeds. Azureus was faster than BitTornado with roughly the same amount of connected seeds & leeches (give or take a few). I also did the same thing on my friend's Cable modem at his house, same results. Both of us have similar pc configs both with port range 1024 - 655xx(forget exactly how high it goes) on our firewalls for both clients (both use Panda Platnium) and his router set for him as DMZ (my DSL modem is directly connected). In the end Azurues won the test.

Your an idiot. Then it is a freakin' coincidence. BT clients doesnt matter when it comes to download speeds. That was ALL CHANCE. You were lucky to connect to a fast peer, that was all.

You open ports 6881-6999 not 1024 - 655xx.
Also, make sure the firewall that's built into windows XP is turned off.
I DL torrents with BitTornado at full speed *146 KB/s*.

Mine is set to random ports thats why I don't have just 6881 - 6999. And I always disable the WindowsXP firewall. The computer I'm on right now isn't using XP its using ME (due to circumstances out of my control my personal pc's cpu is unstable do to the fan motor dying out causing the chip to cook).

DrEVOVIII: If its coincidence then how come this always happens when I try BitTornado? I've tried it on more than one occation on different computers. Hell when my personal PC's cpu was cooking itself due to a defective fan I gave it a shot on my family's pc. Same thing happens. The difference I've seen is that with Azurues I always get active seeds while with BitTornado it seems like I never do. And when it comes to computers don't flame me calling me ignorant. Thanks to my family I've had access to mess around with computers since the late 80's wich is alot more experience than at least half this board. So I would appritiate it if you would refrain from flaming me.

As for the whole "client doesn't matter bit" I'd have to say you guys are wrong. All clients aren't created equal. More goes into making a client than just adding features. Each one was coded differently by different programmers with different programming styles and some in totally different programming langauges wich does effect performance. People optimize their code differently thus differences in performance from client to client.

Yes, I have some programming knowledge myself, so I know all programs are coded differently, even when they are created for the same purpose. Some programmers are just so good that they can minimize the line of codes needed to get something done. I used to have the BT client ABC, and I had to say it's not as fast as Bit Tornado, given the fact that there are same amount of seeds and peers. So different client does matter. PLEASE, I am not naming anyone in this thread here, but don't insult others before getting the facts straight first. Thank you.

its strange, it used to werk GREAT smile.gif

one day tho, i clicked to run it , as per usual, the ugly hour glass appeard for a second, then went away and that'd be it, doesn't even appear on process list:/

Posted by: RakeRon Oct 10 2004, 08:44 PM
Thats odd. Try uninstalling it and manually deleting the directory afterwords then reinstall. This should clear out anything that might be causing errors. If it still doesn't work try running a freeware program called RegScrub XP to fix any errors in your registry after you uninstall. If all esle fails try installing it to a different directory than default. I've had success this way with other programs with the same symtoms.

Posted by: poisonfruitloops Oct 10 2004, 09:54 PM
well i got the dl resuming with bittornado so i'll wait till after i've got my files then mebbe do it.

Posted by: ursdrk Oct 11 2004, 07:00 AM
I don't mean to be blunt or anything, but I'm not really good at looking for stuff. Is there a place I can go to to learn how to rip dvds and then upload them to torrent?? I have some U.S Best Motoring DVDs and wouldn't mind sharing them...thanks in advance.

aww man, didn't see that Bit Torrent FAQ..sorry bout that..anyway now all i need to figure out is how to rip..

actually my BT got f*cked too after SP2...before SP2 i'd get high speeds... 60+ and always green light

now i've yellow light going 20 and less...lately i had been having to leave my comp on to finish DLS when before it would have been done in a matter of maybe minutes

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Oct 11 2004, 02:46 PM
If your using BT and your light is always yellow, that is obvously bad. You will probably always be d/l slow.

Posted by: EvilTaxi Oct 12 2004, 03:40 AM
*shrug* Did you turn off the stupid Windows Firewall?

Regardless of whether I like it or not, SP2 is required by my school's network. If I don't have it, I get quarantined.

EDIT: *pokes Takumi Trueno* You're a mod, yay! Finally an end to the endless worthless posting! Hope you do this a lot lock.gif

Posted by: LAN EVO IV Oct 13 2004, 05:50 PM
Well i use DVD Ghost v2.0 (http://www.region-free-dvd.com/) to rip all my DVD

most DVD's are dual layer so if you want to rip it the only people capable of burning it are people with dual layer DVD burners (about 8gig of data)


Posted by: likquidpopx Oct 14 2004, 10:58 AM
i recently changed my client from bittornado to azures(sorry i suck at spelling) and now my speed has drastically changed.

anddddddd my downloading days continue happy.gif

Posted by: LAN EVO IV Oct 14 2004, 12:22 PM
yeah i like the java clients

but with SP2 make sure to turn off the firewalls
or just open the port up so the application could use it

or if its a hub problem set your IP to a DMZ setting
that would cure any download interference that might be caused by your hub.

You have also use Azureus map port your firewall in your hub but you
must have that setting enabled in the hub itself

Posted by: nightfall88 Nov 3 2004, 05:51 PM
thanks guys I just got "bit tornado" most the problems that you guys posted nailed what I have on the head, and I now know what to do to fix this. cool.gif

what exactly is the function of a tracker?
how can i obtain one?

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Nov 16 2004, 07:14 PM
You can make your own tracker, Its hard to define whata tracker is, other then you need it to make a torrent. The torrent is hosted on the tracker. your Bit Client checks that tracker to find you peers and seeders.

Posted by: Taiki Nov 16 2004, 10:40 PM
okaiz, im running on a 512 connection. when i download from p2p (kazaa) the speed is 50kbs, same goes to when i use Irc. but when i use bittorrent the speed is like 5kbs... the bittorrent i use it bit-tornado.

is there any customisation i suppose to do? or do i have to re-install the program?

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Nov 16 2004, 10:53 PM
Is your ports open? Are you on cable or DSL? Are you using a router or a switch/hub?

Posted by: likquidpopx Nov 16 2004, 11:13 PM
oh do you have SP2? i think that slows down your downloads as well

Posted by: Taiki Nov 17 2004, 01:33 AM
yes i have windows XP-2, so how can i fix this?
i have adsl, i dont have router or hub... its just adsl modem connect to my com using the USB.
i really want to use bittorrent coz i have bad encounters with the other programs IRC (file corruption) and p2p (viruses). but if i cant improve the speed of torrent i just have to stick with these programs. so please help ><

Posted by: mercy Nov 17 2004, 02:19 PM
well, ive been having the same problem but im using a router with a 512 DSL connection as well. I have XP-2 but i thought that having my setup routered was the reason why. After reading your post, it probably isnt my router but do u have a firewall on cause i think thats what slows it down a lot for ur not connected directly to the tracker or watever. I cant turn mine off cause with it on ive blocked many viruses and im not going to take the risk so ill just dl at 10kb

Posted by: Gabriel Nov 17 2004, 02:41 PM
Well what are you downloading? Are the speeds slow when you try to download things from IDW?

Posted by: crzydriftin Nov 17 2004, 03:00 PM
Uninstall SP2 and reinstall bitorrent, try getting it from bitornado instead. and change your port settings..... that should help.

if not, theres guides around this forum on how to use bitorrent with the new settings. just do some simple searches and u should be able to find what u need. if not...... just ask or PM around.

Posted by: Orfeu Nov 17 2004, 03:27 PM
I have some problems like these... But i have a 25k ADSL, and i trying do download a torrent, from here (The Good Quality 1st Stages) and the download goes in 5kb/s but i am running WIn98, this is a problem with trackers?

Thanks

Posted by: Gabriel Nov 17 2004, 04:44 PM
See, that's the thing. The speeds on the IDW tracker are very slow due to a lack of seeders. Initial D First Stage 05 - 09 (dvd-rip) is going at 3.24 KB/sec with 2 leechers so you're speed will maybe be 1 KB/s if anything. HELP SEED smile.gif
hklnt, if you DL anything from suprnova with a lot of seeders and you're still getting a slow speed then you should look into it more but if you're getting a slow speed from a torrent with 2 seeders and 7 leechers then don't expect good speeds.

Posted by: xkhol Nov 17 2004, 04:57 PM
how do i make a tracker?
is it free?

Posted by: Takumi Trueno Nov 17 2004, 05:31 PM
Making a tracker is free. You need to know how to make it of course. Its not as simple as just having a program running.

Posted by: Orfeu Nov 17 2004, 07:01 PM
In the IDW torrent runs wiht 3kb/s
But another torrent that i am downloading Have 46 Peers, 3 Seed (i realy don't know waht is this really) Going in 6 kb/s... It's normal?

suprnova GTA san andreas 100-120 seeders Speed: 1kb
i have a problem!!! hmmm i think i unblock firewall for bittorrent coz when i use it, firewall pops up to say if i want to block or unblock. i picked unblock so i guess it cant be firewall.

uninstalling sp-2 ><. i bought a new com and sp2 came with it... so i cant install it again.

Posted by: Gabriel Nov 18 2004, 04:12 PM
oh, be sure to turn off the firewall built into windows XP.

Posted by: LAN EVO IV Nov 18 2004, 07:42 PM
If you have Windows XP SP2 and are having problems with your bittorrent client speed
and the XP firewall is the only firewall you have protecting your computer, DON'T turn it off pinch2.gif

if you don't have a firewall turned on unsollicate connections could be made to your computer in a matter of minutes. sad.gif

Instead make an exception for the program to have special rights so the firewall won't block leecher or seeder from connect to your client.

Its easier than porting and will increase your client speed grin2.gif

First step go to the "Windows Firewall" configuration menu:

disclaimer: doing these steps will only increase your cleint's download speed if Windows XP SP2 is causing the downloading problem.

the tip on the bottom that says "your download rate is proportional to your upload rate"
is for the person who is like "OH I AM GOING TO CONSERVE MY UPLOAD SPEED BECAUSE ITS SO SLOW" then limit thier upload speed to 1kb/sec thus the consequence is having your download speed slowed as well.

Posted by: Taiki Nov 19 2004, 09:54 PM
so i should put upload speed as unlimited? coz i put it at 50kbs upload... and can only d/l 1kb ><. i heard upload limit ur download, is it true?

yes making your upload too much can also slow down you bittorent

that is why you hve to moderate your upload speed... not the max and not the min

i have uploaded at speeds of 200kb/sec and downloaded at 150kb/sec

when i should be downloading at 250kb/sec

i had the same question as well... and i went right to the source, and asked thewird in these forums

he told me that he uses a program that is called "Subtitle Workshop", and after trying it out myself, i can say that this program works wonders. its damn easy to use, and its still easy to time the subs correctly. try it out!

tHANKS MAN GOOD LOOKING laugh.gif.....

Finished downloading it.....Ehh can someone tell me how to use lol since im new at this stuff?

well, im assuming you want to sub whatever from scratch...

before you do anything, make a .sub file with the SAME NAME as your video file -- you'll need this to load, as it'll automatically load the video along with it, making things a bit quicker

just load the program, and load your subs -- the video should load. then, go through and match all the voice to your subs (which you probably have already, just not timed).

the most difficult thing, besides the translation itself, is probably the timing -- this program, however, makes it relatively easy -- once you find who is saying what, pause the video (you'll want to be quick so your timing isnt all out of whack), press insert, and it should automatically make a subtitle at the point that you stopped the video -- then just enter your text, and repeat till your done

hopefully that made things a bit easier

what client do you use?

i use a client called ABC Torrent, its got some pretty good features like multiple torrents in the same window.

I'm using Bit Tornado.. I guess i could try ABC out

So I'm downloading GTA:SA on PC. 83% done and now it's saying there's a problem connecting to tracker and operation time out. I'm fairly new to BT so I checked the FAQ and found this http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html#problemconnecttracker . Anyone ever had this problem?? Were you able to continue download after a few days?? thx

Posted by: driftheory Jun 14 2005, 01:19 AM
i dunno whats the problem but it could either be you cant connect to the tracker again, the tracker is down or the torrent file you are downloading is gone i.e. its been taken off. try checking the site you got the torrent from and see if they have any seeders/leechers.

Posted by: Ryosuke_Gunma Jun 14 2005, 04:51 AM
Sometimes, it happends to me. Use BitComet, or Azureus. I think you need to wait until the tracker refresh.

Posted by: mrs86 Jun 14 2005, 10:50 AM
If you use bittorado theN change the setting to T1 ,that works fast

I don't know where I should post this question but if you mods need to move it somewhere, you can feel free to do that. So on this thread https://idforums.net/index.php?showtopic=15170 I asked about the tracker. I finished downloading the game now but it said I need to insert the CD/DVD. I know there's a program out there that does not require a CD to play but I don't know which program. As I said on my previous thread, I'm new to these things so anyone mind helping me out? thx wink2.gif

dont double post, dude.
hmm you probably need the crack to play without a cd. Try finding on P2P or somwhere on the internet. Did the file you d/l include a crack of some sort?

Posted by: dmhc69 Jun 16 2005, 11:26 PM
so you downloaded GTA:SA correct?

im guessing the file came out as an disc image of some sort (.iso, .mdf) which is what you'd use to burn the game. if so, you can still use this very disc image file to play from your computer without the need of burning it to a DVD.

if you like me to continue with this, just post with your situation, and ill be glad to help -- just got GTA:SA myself recently biggrin.gif

It's full of these dll files. Some DAT, ISN, TLB, RGS and IBT.

the majority of those are good... the HOODLUM release is the only one that i know of that is an actual relese, so you should be ok

the version that i got had a bunch of rar files, like .01, .02 and so forth. other than that, i dont know how else its packaged, or the type of files you have

Yah, the RAR archive I have are DAT1, DAT2, DAT3, DAT4, ENGINE32 and GTA SA PC. I dunno why I can only open ENGINE32 and GTA SA PC. I already extracted all the files from those two archive.

Posted by: dmhc69 Jun 17 2005, 01:21 AM
well did the file come with an .nfo or a text file or anything?

if you wouldnt mind, could you screencap the directory where all your files are so i can take a closer look? might be easier to resolve the problem that way

well, it looks like the hoodlum release... see if the hoodlum.nfo file has any special notes in it for extraction or anything.

so by the looks of things you downloaded GTA SA PC.rar from the torrent. if so, extract the stuff from GTA SA PC.rar into a folder and then screencap that folder.

Posted by: InitialE Jun 17 2005, 01:41 AM
This is GTA SA PC.ISO. I already extracted all the files but it still doesn't work crying2.gif

Posted by: dmhc69 Jun 17 2005, 01:42 AM
ohhhhh...

what you have is the installation of the game itself, rather than a disc image. run setup.exe or install.exe and the game should start installing.

edit; actually, no. the filename at the top there is GTA SA PC.iso, meaning you have a disc image of the game. ill write up a quick tutorial for how to use this in a minute, so stay tuned. grin2.gif

Posted by: InitialE Jun 17 2005, 01:55 AM
I installed it already but it doesn't seem to work blink.gif. You told me to look at the hoodlum.nfo file, I did and notice how it said "4. Copy the crack from HOODLUM dir on DVD to the game dir". Is that the problem to all this??

Posted by: dmhc69 Jun 17 2005, 01:58 AM
oh, so you've already installed the game?

if so, copy the crack across. if that still doesnt help, and you get an "insert disk" error or something along those lines, i can tell you how to fix it by mounting that image you have.

just take the cracked GTA_SA.exe from the HOODLUM folder in http://img231.echo.cx/my.php?image=screenshot9tx.jpg screenshot and copy & paste it over the one that is in where ever you installed GTA SA

by the looks of things you havent installed SA into that directory. those are the files to install the game, instead of the game itself. you need to copy the crack to the folder where you have installed the game to, not where the installation for the game is. hope that didnt confuse you tongue.gif

did you even burn the .iso image onto a DVD? or did you just open it and installed the game

if he's installed it, its simple to fix. if not, its just as simple to fix, just a little more time consuming.

almost -- put GTA SA INTO the GTA San Andreas folder and overwrite the old one. that'll fix you crack-wise. then you'll just need to mount the image.

firstly, go and download the program called DAEMON tools -- http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php?mode=Download&id=34

after you've downloaded it, install it. then you should see the daemon logo in the icons near the clock. if not, run daemon using the shortcut on the desktop or the actual executable itself.

either way you should find the daemon logo in the icons eventually. when you have, right-click on the icon, select "Virtual CD/DVD-ROM", then "Set Number Of Devices", and then "1 Drive".

after you have set up the drive, mount the game image by doing the following; right-click on the icon, select "Virtual CD/DVD-ROM", then "Device O: No Media", and then "Mount Image". at this point, select the GTA SA PC.iso file that you have, and the game should recognise it as if you had put the actual DVD into your computer. it should be pretty straight forward from here.

hmm, odd

did you reinstall the game again? or did you try it from the one you already had installed?

try installing it again using the mounted one (ie. the one that runs like a proper DVD), and see if that works,

Posted by: dmhc69 Jun 17 2005, 04:43 AM
you mount GTA SA PC.iso -- thats, basically, the dvd on your hard drive. no extraction, no nothing, just mount it through daemon, and then install it from there. then crack it, and see if it works.

The only thing I could guess from those is that you didn't copy the cracked .exe file over the old one correctly.

Did you forget to copy the crack from the disc after reinstalling it?
e:\HOODLUM\GTA_SA.exe to x:\GTA San Andreas

Posted by: dmhc69 Jun 18 2005, 05:34 PM
alright, seeing that a lot of people are lost in the steps here (at least i am), ive taken the time to write up a complete tutorial as to what you have to do.

firstly, you dont need to have GTA-SA installed on your PC. all you need on your hard drive is the full GTA SA PC.iso, nothing else. if its still installed, uninstall it. then follow these steps;

-- mount the .iso file using daemon (detailed steps a few posts up)

-- install GTA SA through the setup of the game that comes after you mount the .iso file (or just go into My Computer and double click on the image itself)

-- after you install, copy the crack across from the HOODLUM directory on the DVD (again, the mounted one) to the directory that you have installed GTA SA to (ie. C:/Program Files/Rockstar Games/GTA San Andreas) - make sure that it overwrites the old .exe in this directory

-- run GTA_SA.exe

now, if all these steps done properly still dont work, there is a problem.

Posted by: BOZZ Jun 24 2005, 09:33 AM
What is the file format? If it is srt then all you have to do is make sure that the file name for both are the same (i.e. Initial D 4th Stage ep14.avi and Initial D 4th Stage ep14.srt). As people have suggested your best bet is to install the matrovska pack from http://www.matroska.org which includes directvobsub. The only other thing is to download and extract to a directory of your choice Media Player Classic. Open the file (video file) with MPC and it should play fine.

Posted by: Kakashi Jun 24 2005, 11:39 AM
1. Get the newest divx codecs from Ares, it's like 6.1 or something. (PM me for if you want it)
2. Download BSplayer
3. Copy the movie file to your desktop and rename the file (it has tons of chinese letters and stuff, just rename it to thunderbolt)
4. open up thunderbolt with BSplayer
5. Click on this button

http://img111.echo.cx/my.php?image=instruction2jl.jpg

6. you go add your subtitle and then the movie is subbed.

600 KB/s or 600 kb/s? the difference is kilobytes (KB) versus kilobits (kb).

600 KB/s = approximately 36 megabytes per minute. which is extremely fast.

600 kb/s = approximately 75 KB/s = approximately 750 KB (.75 MB) per minute.

averaging 75 KB/s down is pretty good for bittorrent, depending on your available downstream bandwidth. 600 KB/s is flat out amazing. sometimes i will get that on a direct download from an fserv on irc, but never on a torrent. i think my record on a torrent was about 200 KB/s.

Once you connect to a server people can talk/send/recieve files from one another. Just imagine it as a giant chatroom of sorts where you can send/recieve files.

is dlin around 600 kb/s ne good using bittornado?

600 KB/s or 600 kb/s? the difference is kilobytes (KB) versus kilobits (kb).

600 KB/s = approximately 36 megabytes per minute. which is extremely fast.

600 kb/s = approximately 75 KB/s = approximately 750 KB (.75 MB) per minute.

averaging 75 KB/s down is pretty good for bittorrent, depending on your available downstream bandwidth. 600 KB/s is flat out amazing. sometimes i will get that on a direct download from an fserv on irc, but never on a torrent. i think my record on a torrent was about 200 KB/s.

incorrect incorrect...

b = bit
B = byte

1 B = about 8 b

kb = kilobit
kB = kilobyte
KB = kilobyte

1 KB (kilobyte) is about 8 kb's (kilobits)

So...

600 KB/s = something like 5-6 megabits per second, not even nearly 36 megabytes.


This is not 100% correct either, but this is correct enough.
If you wanna start babbling about the speeds, you gotta add KiB, MiB etc. etc...

Uh.. i downloaded a torrent the super gt 2005 Euro Beat.. and when it completed i tryed to play it on Windows Media Player.

I got a codec error....

But i thought DivX would support and fix the problem.. it dosent

Quote:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.

End Quote


Help.. i wanna listen to it crying2.gif crying2.gif crying2.gif

Posted by: Joeyfeets Jun 27 2005, 04:52 PM
download the Nimo Codec Pack, google for whatever is the newest one & grab that. normally its free & has mad codecs. Most things will play using their codecs.....
http://nimo.titanesk.com/modules/freecontent/index.php?id=1

the wirds domain has some codecs too, but I dont know if theyre all video codecs or not.

Posted by: sesh_tk Jun 27 2005, 06:06 PM
Negative,

dosent work gawd damnit.

Can you explain exactly what you did?
So you downloaded the Super GT 2005 torrent linked here in the forums, then what?
What files are you trying to open in Windows Media Player?

i wasn wondering something is wrong i mena overhere fastest u can get for home use is around 2mb/s

Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Jun 29 2005, 04:48 AM
hmm mite of been encoding using Xivid or some other video compresser try a mega codec pack

Posted by: ogwiz Jun 29 2005, 10:19 AM
Hey all,
my friend loaned me his collection, and for some reason I can view every episode except for Stage 2 Episode 10

It's not an incomplete file, I have divx and xvid, is there anything else?

Posted by: xupux Jun 29 2005, 10:21 AM
actually zomg i think hes right cause on the bandwidth test for me it says 1 megabyte file in 1.8 seconds and thats about 30 something in a minute

ill take a screen shot and show if you want

600 KB/s = something like 5-6 megabits per second, not even nearly 36 megabytes.

the basic road runner connection is currently 5 megabits down/384 kilobits up.

5 megabits = ~5000 kilobits. divide that by 8 and you get approximate theoretical kilobytes/second (KB/s) not including tcp overhead.

5000 kb/s * 0.125 = ~625 KB/s streaming into your computer. 625 KB/s * 60 seconds = ~37500 KB being stored on your computer in one minute (at most). also 384 kb/s * 0.125 = ~48 KB/s flying off of your computer into the interweb.

again these would be in a perfect world, which we all know it is not.

If it's the same torrent I dl'ed it's just a music file right? If you're getting a codec error on an MP3 file, you've got more problems than a simple codec pack will solve. Nothing too hard to fix tho. But i've read not so good things about arbitrarily downloading codec packs. If it's a video file...than I'll just shut the heck up sweatingbullets.gif

why dont you just use nerovision or something to test it?

just make a quick DVD out of it, and try it in your DVD player ?

Posted by: dmhc69 Jun 29 2005, 05:12 PM
hmm, its usually dependant on whatever the files are encoded in -- divx and xvid are popular, yes, but they dont always do the job

a codec pack that i've been using for quite awhile has been able to let me watch whatever i've been able to get onto my PC -- its called "K-Lite Codec Pack"

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_Lite_Codec_Pack.htm

and before you ask, no, this doesn't have any spyware or anything bad associated with Kazaa... all you get is the codecs grin2.gif

Posted by: gReAtWaLL4o8 Jun 29 2005, 05:29 PM
i use klite codec ...it works good

Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Jun 30 2005, 04:47 AM
even better try it on ur friends comp geez don't need to waste a dvd for dat

Posted by: Xibal (ER34) Jun 30 2005, 04:52 AM
or if ur into encoding try k-lite mega codec oack includes real alternative and quicktime alternative

Posted by: kanseidrifter Jun 30 2005, 09:34 PM
The best way to avoid these problems is to use VLC media player. It has its own built-in codecs so you never have to download extra codecs! It can view practically any type of media file.

Posted by: InitialDRulz Jun 30 2005, 10:32 PM
What program are you running? it sometiimes depend on what program your running on. ex. Windows Media player.

K-Lite Codec Pack Roxs

Posted by: Type R Jun 30 2005, 11:21 PM
Besides the K-Lite pack there is also the 'Ace Mega Codecs 6.0.3' pack which you can find by searching in google. I prefer it over the K-Lite. But choose the one which best meets your demands.

Posted by: Type R Jun 30 2005, 11:44 PM
I would suggest to get the VLC player from their website and play it. Half the files i have dont play in windows media player even though i have the codecs pack.

i just got the Live Action Movie with english subs, just wanted to know, how do i merge the subs into the actual video so i can put it on DVD....

Cheers...

Sorry if there is another thread about this sad.gif

Posted by: Horiyoshi Jul 6 2005, 10:13 AM
OK here ya go:

Programs needed:
http://www.virtualdub.org/
http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html
http://www.tomzavodny.cz/program/subtool/index_en.php
http://www.virtualdub.org/virtualdub_filters

Steps:
1. Install all programs
2. Convert your sub files to .ssa with the Subtitle Tool if they aren't .ssa already
3. Open the movie in VirtualDub
4. Go to Video > Filters (Ctrl+F), click add and go down and find subtitler. Locate the .ssa file
5. Go to Video > Full processing mode (you must do this because the filter requires it)
6. Go to File > Start frame server
7. Save it as anything.vdr
8. Open TMPGEnc and where it says Video source, open the .vdr file
9. Click Start

Hmm ... that's all I can think of right now. This process does take a while. Ask me if you have any questions.

Posted by: Gizmo Jul 6 2005, 01:40 PM
cheers

but, ill think ill wait till the Jap version comes out, and with subs you can actually understand, cheers..

Posted by: SuperWhite92 Jul 7 2005, 10:04 AM
just go find BSPlayer. It's a free download and you can load the subs and movie seperately in two steps.

easy and non-time consuming.

Posted by: Gizmo Jul 7 2005, 10:12 AM
i know that, i have had BS player for ages.

but, programmes like nerovision etc, cannot load the subs with the film, instead, they have to be 1 file.

but as i said, ill wait for the japanese audio and understandable english subs

How do you make a torrent anyway? I'm working on an Initial D Fourth Stage dub and I was thinking of releasing it like that to people who'd like to download it. It'll be funny!

Posted by: Axl Aug 30 2005, 01:54 PM
use bitlord theres an option to make torrent

Posted by: incredibleLE Sep 23 2005, 06:24 AM
i use defiller pak. it works pretty well.

Posted by: BOZZ Sep 23 2005, 07:08 AM
Just be careful when installing and uninstalling these packs cause they can sometimes mess up your other codecs and cause some distortions in the videos (encoded with Xvid or Divx) you are watching...

Posted by: crazy_uness Jan 26 2006, 03:23 PM
I need some help. I've just downloaded some videos and the file are .omg. How do you convert omg files into .avi ??

Thanks for your help

Posted by: aftermath Jan 26 2006, 03:41 PM
Its .OGM not .OMG .. Lol! Use Gordian Knot if you're an experienced user, if not, just use any 1-2-3 converters out there.

Posted by: crazy_uness Jan 26 2006, 04:12 PM
Ok i will try thanks

Posted by: crazy_uness Jan 28 2006, 08:44 AM
Ok i made it but their is no sound in the video. Why ??

Posted by: aftermath Jan 28 2006, 08:55 AM
Recheck your settings maybe you didn't decrypt the sounds or didnt set the sound output before encoding it.

Posted by: crazy_uness Jan 28 2006, 09:29 AM
Ok and how do you do that ?

Posted by: aftermath Jan 28 2006, 10:43 AM
What program are you using?

Use this instead, http://www.riverpast.com/en/support/tutorials/convert/ogm/avi.php

I don't know if this is the correct thread to post this question in, but as I'm not allowed to start a new thread (?) I guess I have to.

What is the problem with the tracker and when/is it going to be fixed? I get "Tracker sending invalid data: d8:intervali1800e12:min intervali300e5:peers114:." errors all the time. I really want those BMI and Shuto Kousoku Trial movies. Thanks!

Which torrents are you trying to download ? Make sure you are not behind any firewall. The torrents should be all running fine. Last I checked, all BMI and Shuto Kousoku videos are seeded.

Well, I've tried almost all of the torrents and none work. It doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the torrents as I get the same "tracker sending invalid data" error. It worked fine a month or so ago. The harddrive with my whole collection died and I wanted to download them again.

There is no problem with my firewall. All other trackers works just fine. sad.gif

Well, I use uTorrent and it's probably one of the best. I can't see what that has to do with anything? Why would using another client make the tracker send valid data? wink2.gif

Tried BitComet, didn't work either. pinch2.gif
