VH 1988-06-26 Giants Stadium MOR 2xDVD5 (Silver Stallion)

unclehomey1: Can anyone hook up w a copy of this – I’ll do b&p or trade or whatever.

thanks,

MZ

I can hook you up Mark.

ed5150: Thanks for the Dropbox links ! I only grabbed the 2xDVD5 version on Dime, but the DVD9 is interesting.

I’ve been wondering. If a show fits a DVD9, why would anyone want to deal with swapping discs in the middle of a show on DVD5′s?

ed5150: Like jroundy, I can’t manage to keep a good ratio, even though I grabbed the show very early. My upload rate is good enough, it can go up to 120ko/s, but somehow, I never seed at full speed. Download works great, though.

If you can jump on a torrent within minutes of it being added, you have a good chance of being able to seed back what you download. Otherwise, your only bet is to keep uploading for a couple of weeks/months and pick up the stragglers. I’ve got a show I downloaded back in September that is just now closing in on a 1:1 share ratio.

Not so much anymore … especially with popular shows. There are just too many guys nowadays who can upload 20X the download size of the torrent … and they pretty make it impossible for 90% of the others having a chance to maintain a 1:1 ratio on a torrent during the initial swarm. I’ve brought the idea of eliminating share ratios at Dime on the Dime mailing list … and by the way most people respond … you’d think I was asking for people to be allowed to get away with murder.

I believe that share ratios have outlived their purpose. Maybe I’m just out of touch … I don’t know.

steecoe: Is that anything like a paid account?

A subtle distinction, but there may be rare instances where “payed” could be used in a financial sense, but only where it is specifically intended to be a metaphorical reference to the nautical sense. E.g. “The large award was payed out in small increments over a decade.” You’re implying what is done with ropes in a nautical sense, but still talking about money. Still, “paid” works just as well here and is far more common. –

mrmojohalen: Is it layed or laid ?

Depends ,,,

guitard: I’d prefer not even bothering with DVD5s for shows like this … but there are too many guys out there that want to play everyone’s hero and re-author DVD9s to split them into DVD5s, so I still do them.

Actually, I’d even like to get away from doing anything but blu-rays (obviously not for an old analog show like this).

An old dude like me … who doesn’t have a blu ray player or burner likes the old dvd5s (and their cheaper than the dvd9s) … maybe one day i’ll move into the new technology

slimbrspickins: I couldn’t afford the massive cost of the numerous surgeries it would take to fix that. If it would even be possible.

Kind of puts a whole new perspective on the theme “Monsters of Rock.”

steecoe: that would be a Monster of Cock

Wes’ cock maybe – but not mine!!
