    Thanks to all the seeds, things are still humming along.

    There have been many copies of all the files downloaded so we are officially off the ground and flying. Hope there's more to come from you budding Speilbergs out there.

    I've attached the screen shot from here. The seeds are those with full copies, the peers are downloading.

    i've just spread my seed... for a few hours anyway....

    El Gumbino (should we call him "Dirk Diggler" the moive star) has convinced me I should make a vid about setting jointer knives with magnets. I will do so this weekend, Jane has promised to wield the camera. I'll be the one eating banana's...

    Serious question 1: Should we insert some copyright ? I personally dont want people using our creative knowledge or making money using our intellectual property - ie: Private use only.:mad:

    Serious question 2: Why did gumby not wear a green shirt in his jointer vid ? disappointed I am...

    Default Data black hole!

    A few stats:

    PC1 - 732.17mb (share ratio 11.038!)
    PC2 - Downloading other stuff...
    PC3 - 330mb
    Server - FTP about 1gb as far as I can tell, that is about four people downloading the three files.

    I hope you lot recycle those pixels and bytes so they're not wasted!

    My share ratio is like that too Groggy. i took the jointer vid down for a day or so and only put it back up this morning so that is just today's upload. Ive had to take the Bedlam and Jointer vids back down but they had lots of seeds anyway. I get 3Gig/month and have used up over 1 Gig already :eek: I need to save the rest for neil's vid and hopefully an upcoming new release entitled 'Monkeying around with a Jointer'

    After FTPing some 20MB of the hinge vid quickly, I hit a speed bump in the information superhighway. Remaining time to DL the rest? 18hours! :eek:

    So, I cancelled and hope the FTP site supports resume. [fingers Xed] Otherwise, I just wasted 20MB of Groggy's rations! My apologies, if that's the case, Greg... but I'm assuming your server's working it's little buns off?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Hey, great work chaps. I enjoyed watching the videos.

    My ADSL account allows unlimited uploading, so I'll keep seeding the three I have currenly, and any others that come along later.

    As martrix said, the motor noise from the ML-392 is pretty amazing :eek:
    Is that due to it not having an induction motor ?

    Keep those videos coming !

    Brilliant - perfect timing. I know my new Jet has 1 blade a fraction high, so this will be very useful!

    Probably - perhaps all videos should have a disclaimer/copyright notice placed at the start. (Disclaimer - as in safety guards often removed for clarity, these are suggestions and not necessarily best practice etc)

    I offered him one of my orange ones, but he didn't want a part of it. Do you want to borrow one for your video?

    It's pretty noisy but i think it's enhanced a bit by the dynamic type microphone. If you listen to the sound of tools being placed down or dropped, they come across very loud too.

    With the FTP problem, i can;t see why you have to start the whole download again. I was ftp-ing those Ocean race files from a source overseas using Filezilla and it would recommence at the lost point if it dropped out. Having to restart the whole thing doesn't sound right to me. But then again, if you won't use torrents, I have no sympathy

    That's much appreciated Jim, thank you.

    File transfer protocol. FTP servers are set up specifically to transfer files, rather than host web pages.

    Terry, some of us hark back to the earlier days of computing where things were done by steam. To transfer stuff around you need some sort of transfer protocol, FTP means File Transfer Protocol e.g.

    ftp://clickhere.com/virusfile.exe

    Another method is to use http or https (secure) which is Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.

    I expect some of the ancients to arc up and talk in esoteric language now, Kermit anyone?


    Oh yeah, the simple meaning is that it enables you to create a direct download across the internet or a network.

    Groggy the geek.

    Just another incentive to share the files around and not be selfish by logging off after you have got the files.

    maybe at the start of each video we should say that these are freely available on our site, but then again a pirate will only edit that out anyway. I think we have to take the good with the bad, I don't think anybody is going to become the next Bill Gates by selling our stuff.

    My feeling are that we are doing this for the benefit of forum members and it entails some sort of risk. I tried using a torrent file which wasn't sent to a trorrent hosting site like Mininova or Torrentspy and it doesn't seem to work. So that means these things are freely available worldwide and if you look at the Mininova link again, you'll see how many times these torrents have been downloaded - LOTS!!!

    If there was a way to keep this in house, I'm all for it but i don't know that there is. My computer skills stop at that point. FTP is OK if only a few use it but there's no way I could have distributed the files out to everybody so quickly without torrents. Look at the problem Skew has had already trying FTP. You don't get that with a torrent system. Maybe Usenet is an option but I think you have to pay a monthly fee to stay on it. Torrents are free software and despite all the negativity they have caused me no harm in months of using the system.

    Any other suggestions because this is obviously very popular. Or are we doing all we can really do in the way of distribution.

    (PS, I can put them on Limewire if you like )

    What's that video sharing site in the green guide today? That may be another way (an additional way) of getting the file out there. Dunno - not sure if it is good or not, it is just another option to consider.

    Torrent seems to be the best for overall speed (so long as there is enough seeding!)

    Don't get the green Guide because i wouldn't buy a left wing rag like The Age

    You don't mean youtube.com do you ?
