CG Megaset Wilder
~21GB collection of HCG sets (730+). I thought I'd share this collection before I culled them all for pics I'd like to save.

does /t/ recommend any particular bittorrent client?
>> Wilder
>>171964

BitTorrent is the client from the original torrent system developer, and is the client I use. (www.bittorrent.com)

Other popular clients are Azureus, uTorrent, and BitTornado. Just Google them and you can easily find one to download.

Why do you use BitTorrent...? >_>
>> Wilder
>>171978
It's simple and does the job for me. Honestly, I don't torrent that much where I'd need anything fancier. What do you use and why?
>> Anonymous
I just switched from flashget, which sucks, don't use it, to BitComet. (on a 256k connection I got:
7% of 1.32GB after 20 hours on flashget, and 2.2% of the same file after 2.5 hours on BitComet)

Oh, and I'm the person who asked in the first place, not Captain "Why Do You Use BitTorrent?"

http://utorrent.com µTorrent because I run ~1000 torrents at once, seeding 24/8 among various trackers. . . do that with any standalone and you run out of RAM ~ 500 or so... and azureus... well i like to use my 2 GB of ram for more than just interpretive java

of course not.
someone has to be keeping the torrents alive all eight days of the week.

Seeds please!!
>> Wilder
>>172153
You'll have to be patient as it's going to take a while to get 21GB distributed throughout the swarm.

>>172070
hes seeding them 24/8 because if his machine crashes or something and he looses one day of upload, he´ll still have it uploaded cause he had 1 day extra !!

Thanks, OP for great collection. Btw are you planning to update for future release? Or making Megaset part 2 in the future?
>> Wilder
>>172247
Not a problem. I probably won't update this collection though. I'm actually planning to cull it down to just the images I'm interested in. But before I did that, I figured some might appreciate the sets in their entirety.
>> Anonymous
I wonder what the upload speed of the original seeder is. :) Then we can figure out about how long it will take for 100% distribution.
>> Wilder
>>172454
I've got 40KB/s upload capacity, although it may be occasionally less due to other network traffic from time to time.

Best case: 21GB at 40KB/s = 6 days. Realistically, figure on at least another week to be fully seeded.

Hueg torrent is hueg

>>172502
Ah. Sounds good. I'll back you with my own 45KB/s as I'm downloading from you to help you distribute to peers.
>> Anonymous
Do you know the size of these pics? Are most of them are 800x600 or 640x480?

Thx for the torrent
>> Wilder
>>172558
I'd guess maybe half are 640x480 and half are 800x600 (that's just a rough guess), with a few odds and ends of different sizes too. Nearly all have fairly high-quality jpegs. Most appear to be complete event sets too, although I did see a couple of partial sets too.
>> Wilder
Deadfrog's tracker appears to be down - looks like they just had to move the server for some reason. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it comes back up. If not, does anyone have suggestions for an alternate tracker I could use?
>> Anonymous
>>172793
Try deltatorrents (www.datorrents.com) or hongfire (www.hongfire.com). Hongfire requires a sign-up though.
>> Wilder
>>172793
Ok, good. Tracker seems to be up again.
>> Anonymous
>>172847
Still man, you might want to get one or two more trackers. For a torrent this big, you're gonna want other people to be able to download and redisperse the file as quickly as possible so it's not draining as much of your resources and it takes a shorter time for other seeds to appear.
>> Anonymous
Another tracker wouldn't hurt. Though I appreciate the seeding.
>> Anonymous
It seems to be going at about 2 - 4% a day. So... it should be fully distributed in 1 - 2 months. :)
>> Anonymous
Is OP using initial seeding/superseeding to upload?

This is taking longer than it should.
Everyone is around 15.6% done.
But it will be worth it in the end.
>> Anonymous
My guess is that he isn't allotting all his bandwidth to us, since it's well beyond his own estimate of 6 days.
>> Anonymous
That may be but if he's just uploading normally that means he's probably uploading the same exact pieces over and over and occasionally some new pieces get added to the swarm.
Which really draws out the process of creating more seeds.
>> Anonymous
Let's just hope the OP knows what's going on. I'm sure this thread is being checked now and then.
>> Wilder
>>173551
Yes, I'm keeping an eye on the thread. For what it's worth, I am allocating all of my bandwidth for the upload (40KB/s). I'm not exactly certain why it's progressing so much slower than I anticipated. According to simple calculations, the remainder should take under 7 days to reach 100%, but it's obviously uploading slower than this.

As recommended, I'll try switching to a client that has a super-seeding mode to see if that improves performance. Regardless, I'll make sure this gets fully uploaded no matter how long it takes, so no worries.
>> Anonymous
>>173565
I guess we don't have to worry then,thanks!

Do you know how super seeding/initial seeding works?
Basically it makes you with the full file(s) only upload pieces that are not in the swarm yet which can slow things down for a while but not as slow as uploading the same pieces to everybody.

No Sagara family in this set?

Super seeding is definitely important. This ensures that you only upload a piece of the file once and force everyone else to get it from someone else. This way it spreads out exponentially... 1 person gets it from you, 2 people gets it from that 1 person, 4 more from them, etc...
>> Wilder
Ok all, I switched to a client that supported super-seeding (uTorrent), but it didn't seem to recognize the current torrent properly.

I've uploaded a new .torrent file, and I guess you'll have to download this new one. Sorry about that, but hopefully the seeding will improve a bit.

The new torrent file is at the same place:

>> Wilder
>>173585
Damnit, nevermind... I'm going to find a client that will work with the existing torrent file. That'll be a pain in the ass for everyone to restart this swarm... I don't want to take the chance of everyone have to re-download everything.
>> Anonymous
Is the torrent here:
http://www.deadfrog.us/index.php?act=entry&id=8962
The new one or the old one right now?

I just downloaded it and launched it with uTorrent and it just wanted to add the trackers from it meaning it found the files already partially downloaded,which means it's either the same torrent from before or it works for me.

So no superseeding for now?
>> Anonymous
Without superseeding this torrent may never get fully distributed due to it's size and the people who want it!

Think of it this way,every time a new leecher jumps on this torrent they're asking for any piece,the people who have been downloading from the beginning have about 20% right now,however the people with less than that are still asking the torrent creator for the same pieces the rest of us with 20% have which is leeching valuable bandwidth that new pieces need to travel.
If the torrent creator has superseeding on he would only be uploading new pieces constantly and the torrent would eventually be completely distributed.
At the current rate we're looking at 5+ more weeks if no more leechers join the party(not likely).
I'm not saying it's a lost cause because I'm definitely in for the long haul but we desperately need some superseeding.

How are you trying to get UTorrent to work?
Typically you should:
1. Download the torrent file from the site you uploaded it to. (Do not ever use the torrent file you made, always use the one you downloaded from the site)
2. Open the torrent file and direct it to where you have your files saved.
3. Do a force-recheck, uTorrent should find that you have all the files.

If anyone is desperate for one CG pack in this torrent, check out this site:
http://www.hachcege.dk
Most of the HCGs come from torrents on this site. If anything this torrent is like a collection of the contents of the torrents.

>> Wilder
>>173661
Well, hooray for small victories... I finally managed to get uTorrent working. Thx for the help. We'll see if super-seeding makes a difference.

>>173664
You're correct - this is where I got nearly all of these CG sets originally. I certainly didn't mean to imply otherwise - just trying to spread the goodness. Still, many of those torrents are long since dead, so this might be the best chance at grabbing some of those older sets.

No seeds on a 21G torrent. That's not good.
>> Anonymous
>>173875
The torrent creator is super seeding now,which means he doesn't show up as a seed,but rest assured he's uploading new pieces into the swarm constantly so in a few days there's going to be a flood of seeds all at once.
>> Anonymous
>>173882
is correct. If you noticed, the rate at which the files are being distributed have already increased 3 times. In the past 4 hours the distribution has increased 1%, that would have taken 12 hours before without superseeding.
>> Holy shit Anonymous
You rock man, this is going to save me a whole lot of time. Thanks a ton.

I'll seed to 50%(because 21GB will take too long with my slow ass upload speed) but i'm probably still going to be seeding more than most people.
>> Anonymous
>>173930
So far I've been maintaining a 1:1 ratio or higher, especially while the stuff is being distributed.
>> Wilder
50% and climbing... uTorrent is predicting another 5 days until we hit 100%.
>> Anonymous
using BitComet, showing 299 peers and no seeds, been sitting at 46% for the last 24 hours and I'm only grabbing about 500 megs worth of sets. Where'd all my seeds go?
>> Wilder
>>174672
There are no full seeds yet - I've been uploading this for the past week, and (like I just mentioned), it will be another five days or so before it's 100% uploaded. 21GB of data uploaded via DSL takes a long time.

The reason you don't see me as a seed is because my client is in initial seeding (super seeding) mode. It helps speed up the initial upload process.
>> Anonymous
>>174672
It's being super-seeded so that someone doesn't get a full copy then just leave the torrent like a leeching asshole.
>> Anonymous
60% and a 1.179 share ratio for me.(been off and on this past week)
I'm glad I suggested the OP do some superseeding.
If I can I plan to seed this to at least a 2.000 ratio or more my self.
>> Anonymous
I just grabbed it myself and intend to do the same
>> Anonymous
two days later, up from 46% to 60%, and I've got a 2.8 ratio. It's taken me three days to download about 300 megs of the roughly 500 I'm grabbing from the pile. The mules died yesterday, and my porter is showing signs of altitude madness. Weather is getting steadily worse the farther we climb. The howls of wolves behind us make turning back just as dangerous as pressing on. The peaks never seem to get any closer. I fear I may die before I reach the summit. Tell my wife I love her...

You do realize that just because you are only downloading 500megs it wont take you any less time. some of the stuff you are looking for is more than likely to be some of the last stuff uploaded

Its going good for me I grabbed it yesterday and am already at 50% Though I do have a question for the op. Is it all censored?
>> Anonymous

>>175141
We're just under 70% now. uTorrent predicts less than three days to completion. As to your question: yes, these sets are censored.

Be patient,only about 80% of the files are in the swarm so far.
