MD5 Checksum: 61aae34354adc32f2d4b8737410899c4

The installation works fine on my system except the "temacs crash".
If the installation takes time in the last minute its because it does a "diskutil repairPermissions" on the install partition.
I've added the SystemProfiler fix (SPPlatformReporter, SPiPlatformReporter, SPMemoryReporter) and replace "translate" from 10.5.2 with the one from 10.5.1 (multiple crash with multiple apps).
The extensions folder in the DVD has been deleted.
I will write a howto to add kexts in the DVD (if you need to).

Please don't blame me if it doesn't work on your system. It takes time just to make it stable on mine ...

Further updates will be ppf or mpkg files.

[quark]

So that will be a "release" DVD?

[zephyroth]

yes

[quark]

Great news... I've killed my 10.5.1 while playing with kexts and some software... So I'll be able to install 10.5.2 from the scratch...
uTorrent is up and running :)

[althon]

WoW, COOL!!! :)

[subsonic]

Weeee =) Lovely news, zephy! I just hope i'm able to install it. Your 10.5.1 release didn't work with my chipset, it took more than 2 hours just to see the leopard installer wallpaper. Never been able to go further with the installation. Anyways, my hopes are up =)

[bhast2]

so we will see a download link soon?

[subsonic]

i'm sure we will ... at least i hope so ^^

11:23

Creating the rar parts of Leopard 10.5.2.

[DoiX]

hurray for zeph :)

[quark]

Hey, guys, goto IRC... Let's remember the ToH release rush :))))

[Puttabong]

Awesome news zephyroth, keep up the good work!

I'm enjoying the spring sun... lovely!

[DoiX]

ehe Puttabong :)) im enjoying the snow:)

[megaargon1]

Hooray!!! Time to celebrate and initiate download! 3....2....1.....0 I'm back and had a two day hibernation sleep, LOL

[WinLinMac01]

sounds like hurry up to me, Zeohyroth, will you tell us what the name of the torrent file will be? so we don't have to hunt for the torrent all day? do you have an ETA? It will be an installation only right? no further configuration after that?

DoiX:hurray for zeph :)

[WinLinMac01]

Are you hsppy now? :D

megaargon:Hooray!!! Time to celebrate and initiate download! 3....2....1.....0 I'm back and had a two day hibernation sleep, LOL

[WinLinMac01]

Zephyroth what timezone are you in, and what is your current upload speed? I will turn on my other machine when your upload status is complete. I can get the torrent file info from any site right? Thank you.

[zephyroth]

No torrent yet. I will upload it on newsgroup and then it will be on torrent.

[WinLinMac01]

What is newsgroup? How do I sign up? Are we able to download from there?

Question regarding 10.5.2 Release. Instead of seeing verbose mode when boot-up process is on in the beginning, will we be able to see a gray screen with the apple logo for once?

zephyroth:No torrent yet. I will upload it on newsgroup and then it will be on torrent.

[WinLinMac01]

What is better: Azeureus or uTorrent? Just to make my download run smoothly? let me know, thanks

[akireyev]

How can I get access to the newsgroup?

[megaargon1]

How long does it take to upload on the NewsGroup? Like others have said, I would like to start downloading once the torrent is made available. Thank you very much Zephyroth. We all very much appreciate your great efforts in making this possible. |:-)|

[akireyev]

WinLinMac01:What is better: Azeureus or uTorrent? Just to make my download run smoothly? let me know, thanks
Both clients are good.

[McDead]

Gentlemen start your engines!
I'm using uTorrent and never had any problems and the best ist it fits on my USB stick.

[subsonic]

akireyev: WinLinMac01:What is better: Azeureus or uTorrent? Just to make my download run smoothly? let me know, thanks
Both clients are good.

uTorrent is better. Needs less resources, doesn't need an installation and is absolutely leightweight. I am using it all the time so i can recommend it.

[WinLinMac01]

are there any speed differences?

[akireyev]

WinLinMac01:are there any speed differences?
No.
The speed depends only on your connection to the net

[DoiX]

yes there are speed differences with utorrent i have 200kb/s from mininova, azureus 60 kb/s (same torrent)

[WinLinMac01]

could be because of less allocation of memory resources.

[1207FX]

for me, most every torrnet with Utorrent is much faSTER than azureas in wondows. Bitrocket is what I used in Mac, didnt have it up long so not sure how well it worked

[DoiX]

probably. anyway on os x im using transmission it's the best :)

[Puttabong]

BitRocket is my choice :)

http://saved.im/mti1nzblmtlz/bild2.png (http://www.bitrocket.org/)

[subsonic]

Zeph, one question please. Is the newsgroup a public one?

[1207FX]

I agree "Puttabong", while I had Tiger running, Transmission seemed to be slower than BitRocket!

I didn't like Tomato either.

[DoiX]

BitRocket crashes after 5 minutes don't know why and i don't really care why :)

[WinLinMac01]

I hope newsgroup is a public one. i think i understand what I am saying

[subsonic]

WinLinMac01:I hope newsgroup is a public one. i think i understand what I am sayingMe neither *lol*

I just thought there must be something like public newsgroups since the program i've downloaded (Newsgroup Commander/Win) shows up some public newsgroups.

That's why I've asked ^^

By the way, is it just me or is the forum loading pretty slow lately?
It takes up to 1 minute until the page is built!

[Puttabong]

subsonic, I experienced the slow loading as well, so I just restarted Apache!

Please tell me if it's better!

[WinLinMac01]

downloaded that too, zephyorth, how much longer do you think we have to wait? What RSS feed should we be looking at?

[1207FX]

it is slow on my end also

[1207FX]

Puttabong, whatever ya did helped...........much better now

[WinLinMac01]

yeah...the speeds are better now eversince you setted apache

[Puttabong]

Good, same for me :)

[eard]

wohoo that's a very very good new
waiting to the upload finish to start the download =)
cya guys

[megaargon1]

s-i-g-n ||| o-f ||| r-e-l-i-e-f

[1207FX]

once it is uploaded to a newsgroup, is it automaticly searchable?

[demigodz]

Thanks for putting it on Newsgroups. I got a Easynews account and I try to get everything from there first because of the download speed. This DVD would take about a hour or more to download using P2P Bittorrent technology. I could get it in about 25 minutes using Easynews :)

[WinLinMac01]

downloaded newsgroup commander, somebody tell me how I can check the status, thanks

[laxattack]

random question am i going to be able to upgrade from 10.4.10?

[WinLinMac01]

yes you should be able to

laxattack:random question am i going to be able to upgrade from 10.4.10?

[laxattack]

granted i want to try it on an empty HD first but once all goes well on that i will install over tiger

[WinLinMac01]

Zephyroth, how muvh longer is there for the upload. can you please give us special procedures to locate the file on the web? thank you.

[megaargon1]

My question is, how big is the new release DVD IMAGE? Anyone know's. Zeph?

[1207FX]

SL DVD I think he had mentioned

[subsonic]

Puttabong:subsonic, I experienced the slow loading as well, so I just restarted Apache!

Please tell me if it's better!

Way better now =) Thank you

[WinLinMac01]

@Zephyroth, who will be the first ones to acquire the image?

[roisoft]

Apple store, of course!

[WinLinMac01]

LOL. I mean like after he uploads will we be able to immediately download, or it will take some time?

roisoft:Apple store, of course!

[1207FX]

the testers already have it, so this should be available to all of us once we sub to a newsgroup ? I'll sub for a single month fee!

[WinLinMac01]

and what about torrent?

[megaargon1]

What do you think Zeph's upload speed is?

[StealthMode]

Zeph said it will be uploaded to newsgroups first, then torrents.

[1207FX]

that I do not know?......................... unless it named "Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI " I'm searching for that until I hear otherwise

[1207FX]

looks like the band is all here. is this a groundbreaking ceremony? lol

[WinLinMac01]

are you serious? then torrents, why not just do the public a favor and upload to torrents first? What is the purpose of the newsgroups if we have to subscribe? correct me if I am wrong,

StealthMode:Zeph said it will be uploaded to newsgroups first, then torrents.

[megaargon1]

I'm on it LOL.

1207FX:looks like the band is all here. is this a groundbreaking ceremony? lol

[Puttabong]

I personally don't like the Idea either.

FTP -> Torrent -> Newsgroups -> Public Backup Storage (like esnips)

Why not like that? There are better ways to spread the image to the public!

[WinLinMac01]

is there anyway the newsgroups can later become available in torrent format, or is it not possible? seems like Zephyroth is going to be leaving on his system for a pretty long time, how pointless is that, save your time zephyroth and please use uTorrent to create a torrent and upload online so we all can download at the same time, thanks.

[demigodz]

Why Newsgroups? Because we can test it faster because of the high download speed from newsgroup servers!

[DoiX]

1207FX:the testers already have it, so this should be available to all of us once we sub to a newsgroup ? I'll sub for a single month fee! the beta tester have only the 10.5.1 RC2 :)

[WinLinMac01]

you're right, seeing everyone logged into the forums just to get the "go." Seeing megaargon online just makes me laugh even more...probably throwing a party in the backyard, IMAO
Have a virtual party with @megaargon

edit:
one of the administrators deleted our posts about the upload speeds 1207FX, took it too seriously as well, LOL

Updated: you're right, , but seems like our comments are being censored, LOL

Puttabong :D

[1207FX]

someone nameless has cleaned us up it seems winlinmac (that is funny puttabong) lol you know he loves doing that :)


(stopped posting stupid text, didnt know lol)

[Puttabong]

Feel free to keep on posting guys, just try not to overheat the server, lol :)

[roisoft]

Hey puttabong, there´s something in the air, ....lol

[Puttabong]

:D

That's true! ;)

[WinLinMac01]

Huh???

[StealthMode]

If this was Bestbuy we'd all look retarded....tents and all :o

[laxattack]

though that would be a fun time! lol

[StealthMode]

For sure :D smores anyone?

[megaargon1]

"Fire"wall anyone?

[WinLinMac01]

yeah...its cold where I am, need some of that fire, LOL , sitting outside of the server room, waiting for Zephyroth's image to be uploaded onto the torrents.

How much longer? I'm feeling it too.

[WinLinMac01]

I found this cool software called bitlet.org (locates zephyroth's image's metafile and downloads the whole image as if you were downloading the file straight from its main source (website).

[StealthMode]

Interesting

[laxattack]

slow speeds with that by the way

[WinLinMac01]

ohhh...:-p is there any update with 10.5.2 yet? I just noticed that Zephroth changes the forum name to Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 "AMD," and made a new category for discussion called 10.5.2.

[Skyper]

Good news. Anyways I won't bother downloading because of my chipset as last time it wouldnt boot after install.

[chavonbravo]

what newsgroup, alt.binaries.mac??

[laxattack]

you know in all my years of computing i have never used newsgroups how do i?

[cgsheen]

I'll wait for the torrent. DL thousands of pieces from a newsgroup is a PITA. If the news servers suck there are always missing pieces.

[Puttabong]

laxattack, neither have I ;)

---

Cleaned up all these rumours, you should only pay attention to zephyroth's declarations, if you want to rely on the truth.

:D

[WinLinMac01]

Haven't seen Zephyroth in the vicinity for some time. Is he asleep right now? What is the status of the upload???

Puttabong:laxattack, neither have I ;)

[cgsheen]

Sorry, I'm "spilling the beans" - I just stumbled across the upload

alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

for those of you who haven't discovered it already.

It's yEnc so what do I use as a newsgroup reader? MS Entourage won't decode yEnc will it?

On my news server it's up to "part019.rar" there are 154 segments in each "part"... Haven't seen how many total "parts" - 10.5.1 was 72, wasn't it? Probably more than that...

[WinLinMac01]

subsonic, I believe told me about Newsgroup Commando,

[WinLinMac01]

can't configure nor get list through alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

When is the torrent going to appear? Any idea?

[1207FX]

Zeph has been editing/adding info about the upload status in the first of his post this discussion

14/73

[WinLinMac01]

is this for the torrent or for the newsgroup?
How big is each part on average? I see there are 73 parts.

1207FX:Zeph has been editing/adding info about the upload status in the first of his post this discussion

[WinLinMac01]

What is your upload speed? Please let us know, thanks.

Are you periodically updating your first post to let us know how many parts have been uploaded thus far?

zephyroth:The installation works fine on my system except the "temacs crash".
If the installation takes time in the last minute its because it does a "diskutil repairPermissions" on the install partition.
I've added the SystemProfiler fix (SPPlatformReporter, SPiPlatformReporter, SPMemoryReporter) and replace "translate" from 10.5.2 with the one from 10.5.1 (multiple crash with multiple apps).

Newsgroups aren't hard. I've never used them but I managed to find the upload as well.

First you want to verify you have usenet access...I'd first check to see what your ISP offers, though chances are it's slow and a tiny bandwidth limit.
You can obtain it from several places pretty cheaply (I got 20gb or 30 days for $10)
I choose Easynews but like I said I signed up today so I'm unsure how they compare - seemed like a fair price and decent reviews. I make no warranties or claims - I've also heard of GIganews and Usenext. Know nothing about them.

Next you need a client. Some mail clients handle binary downloads better than others. I'm actually using a trial of Forte Agent. It seemed pretty complicated to me at first but I'm figuring it out. I've downloaded 18 parts already...

Anybody that has more experience can probably help more. I just wanted to help someone get started. I didn't think it would work out but...yay initiative!

[WinLinMac01]

How many parts have been uploaded so far? 18gb? Who will be uploading the torrent file, and when will it be available?
I tried using Newsgroup commando, but I can't access the link alt.binaries.mac.cd-images. Any other ways? Thanks.

[WinLinMac01]

While Zephyroth is still offline from this forum, can somebody please take his place for now and give us a periodic status at how many parts are left? Thank you.

[revhawk]

I have through part 19 downloaded.

It looks like 20, 21, and 22 are currently being uploaded in pieces.

Note that that might just be what my usenet server is providing me - he could be farther along - I am not an expert!

[WinLinMac01]

I agree. 10.5.1 worked flawlessly on my system until "I" caused it to purposely crash, because of Zephyroth's next release that is currently being uploaded .

Puttabong:lol LohnenNicht, zephyroth's releases work perfect on almost every AMD machine. All you need is a little Brain to tweak it according to your hardware.

[WinLinMac01]

you don't mind sharing your account information with us, right? I can give you can e-mail address to PM too, you know. :D

I'm also new into this, just like you but here is my little "tutorial" to get things working (PC users only, don't know about MAC users)

1 - Download one program called GrabIt at "http://www.shemes.com"
2 - Go to "http://astinews.de/xtest" and put your e-mail there to receive an server username and pass to connect to usenet (it is a free account but will do the job)
3 - Check your e-mail and take note of your Reader, Username and Password that you received from astinews
4 - Install GrabIt and use the infos from astinews to start usenet
5 - Inside GrabIt, go to GrabIt Usenet Search and search for "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it to your list...
6 - After that, still in GrabIt go to Articles and at the end of the list you'll see the files to download... just right click them and "Grab Selected Articles"

If you have questions, go to mIRC... There you'll find a lot of good people that helped me with all this...

[WinLinMac01]

You know I can't be sure exactly (can't locate an indicator)

FAST though.

I just got another 50mb chunk in less than 1 minute.

[WinLinMac01]

Grabit Says that I have reached my search limit(s) for the day. What's up with that? Any other alternative available?

Is Zephyroth's 10.5.2 for AMD released yet? If so where can I download it? thepiratebay.org?

[Puttabong]

Check the Announcement at the Front Page of the Forums.

VyperX:Is Zephyroth's 10.5.2 for AMD released yet? If so where can I download it? thepiratebay.org?
If you want to download via torrent you'll have to wait a little more... If you want it in the next 10 hours (more or less) you must try usenet

[compaqdrew]

Torrents shouldn't take that long. I'm on an OC192 and am willing to seed...

[Puttabong]

It took me about 10 minutes to download the first 23 parts using Usenet. ;)

[WinLinMac01]

can somebody please make an account for me? i made a new email called [email protected] if somebody can please place my email address in http://astinews.de/xtest and have my info emailed to me that would greatly appreciate it. This is because I have used my daily limit in grabit with my existing account, and thus, need a new one. thanks,.

[DoiX]

winlinmac your ip was logged, i think there is no use to make another account

[WinLinMac01]

whoever, added my email, thank you very much. as you know this is not my real email, LOL

[compaqdrew]

I got him one. Hurry up and get this on the bay, i've got enough upload bandwidth to host a small country

[WinLinMac01]

oh darn. Any other alternative besides grabit?

newsrover found it near the dock 'O the bay

[WinLinMac01]

newsbin I tried, but not all of the results were displayed. some lagging

[cgsheen]

Looks like my news server is up to part 28, but I still can't find a newsreader that'll do yEnc and stay connected to my server...

[WinLinMac01]

cgsheen can you confirm if the first file is 28mb?

[1207FX]

Xnews is free and I am downloading

[WinLinMac01]

why is part 29 12mb only?

[WinLinMac01]

i'm using newsbin, but don't know where the 29 files are downloading, lol. help please if possible, thanks

[delian7]

I am totally confused. Where's an Idiot's guide to usenet when you need one. Lol.

I created an account in http://astinews.de/xtest. I then download a bunch of programs like Newsbin Pro, UsenetGrab, Binjet, and Grabit. Couldn't get any program to work with it. I then found a free newserver called Dissenter (http://www.disenter.com) and I couldn't get any program to work with that as welll. I know I am doing something wrong, so if anyone out there has anything for me I would really appreciate it. If not, I will just have to wait for the torrents (something I can actually download :) And if some people think that I am just writing this because I am too lazy to look this up, I am not, I have looked for this for about 3 hrs.

Thanks, A lot to everyone and thanks goes to you Zeph for finishing your masterpiece.

[WinLinMac01]

UPDATE: 30 parts are uploaded thus far in total
where are my files downloaded? to what directory?

[1207FX]

there should be a default folder they are saved to, by the newsreader prog. I have tried 3 so far and grabit it haulinass it is much easier than the others

Please dont think I can help, I am flying by the seat of my pants as the rest of you are, I mean I just got used to using torrent clients lolol

[WinLinMac01]

30 parts buddy

ZEPHYORTH, can you also list the file sizes for each part as you upload them? I just to make sure that I am downloading the actual file(S). THanxs or if someone else wants to help please do so. :D

zephyroth:The installation works fine on my system except the "temacs crash".
If the installation takes time in the last minute its because it does a "diskutil repairPermissions" on the install partition.
I've added the SystemProfiler fix (SPPlatformReporter, SPiPlatformReporter, SPMemoryReporter) and replace "translate" from 10.5.2 with the one from 10.5.1 (multiple crash with multiple apps).
The extensions folder in the DVD has been deleted.
I will write a howto to add kexts in the DVD (if you need to).

Don't blame me if it doesn't work on your system. It takes time just to make it stable on mine ...

Further updates will be ppf or mpkg files.

Parts uploaded: 26/73

[WinLinMac01]

[1207FX]

so you found where it saved the files?

[mentos]

Files are 50M each.

I am just wondering is the Nforce driver included in this release as i didn't see it noted in the announce.

Zephyroth thank you very much for the hard work you are doing.

[braindead803]

im usin grabit downloading at 448 KB/s i have downloaded parts 1-27,30-33. but rar files 28-29 don't show up when i load the group articles. whats goin on? any help would be great. i update the group as well so i don't know whatsup.

[WinLinMac01]

35

[cgsheen]

They're made up of 152 "messages" which are each about 325KB. So one "part" of the .rar (archive) is about 50MB. Your newsreader holds the "files". Some newsreaders combine and decode the messages automatically and save the "attachments" as files. Sometimes you have to do that manually once the newsreader has downloaded all the messages that belong to a certain "part". In the end the newsreader should have all the individual .rar files that made up the upload. You then use an unarchiver to assemble the .rar's and build the .iso file inside them...

[WinLinMac01]

really? I have some files that are 25, and some that are as low as 11.67 and high as 53. Is there something wrong? I have not figured where the files are being saved yet.

mentos:Files are 50M each.

I am just wondering is the Nforce driver included in this release as i didn't see it noted in the announce.

Zephyroth thank you very much for the hard work you are doing.

[7th]

open grabit preferences and you'll find were are your downloaded files...

[braindead803]

so i have to compile the .rar files into an iso. or is there a .iso extracted from the rars?

[Puttabong]

braindead803, the iso can be extracted from the rar parts.

[braindead803]

@Puttabong i gotta question. i got all the recent rar files but 28+29 what happened to those? I have updated the group and everything the articles will not show 28+29 so whats up?

[mrburns05]

Well this is good news...Ill sit back and wait for a torrent- i got 10.5.2 installed with graphics update / efi/ 9.2.0 kernel/ itunes fix, and everything is just great! so im in no hurry to start over, lol...

[cgsheen]

@WinLinMac
I doubt that's correct. The tools that most people use to create the ".rar" parts and carve everything up & yEnc them in a suitable fashion to be uploaded properly and consistently to newsgroup messages are pretty consistent. Just looking at the messages, they all seem pretty close to the same size and every "part" consists of 152 messages. All the "...partxxx.rar" 's should be pretty much the same size.

[7th]

anybody with the files 28 and 29?

[braindead803]

7th:anybody with the files 28 and 29? yes anyone with files 28/29

[cgsheen]

28 and 29 are incomplete on my server

30-33 are all there and 34-36 are still being uploaded

I've only got half of what's available and I've already got 2 "parts" that have CRC errors.
I hate newsgroups... I'm going to bag this until the bay is up. (I'd like to kick the guy who said "put it up on a newgroup! torrents are too slow!") 10.5.2 is half-way to being up on the newsgroups - then someone has to put it up on a BT...

[1207FX]

all my .rars are 53,000 and some change. I'll let ya know when I get to 28 & 29 if they download correctly

[7th]

I have now from 01 to 37 but missing 28 and 29... All others are just ok

CGSHEEN, you should try downloading those again...

[subsonic]

Is there a way to tell GrabIt to automatically add new files to the batch?

I don't want to sit in front of my computer all the time ^^

[compaqdrew]

Like i said, the sooner someone kicks it to the bay, the sooner I seed on my oc192...

[1207FX]

you cant download 28 and 29, they have not been uploaded yet....... maybe zeph is being a little cute and saving them for the last 2?

LOL

[seren]

Dont know what the big deal is. But the newsgroups are the fastest and cheapest bandwidth there is. i get 1.5megs on my server. When the torrent gets up on tbp or anywhere else it will be chugging along with all the lechers and I bet dollars to doughnuts no one that doesn't know how to use usenet has access a oc192. Also about 28 and 29 they are partly uploaded 28 is missing 41 of its 152 parts: 95 97 98 101 103 104 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140

And 29 is missing 18 of its 152 parts: 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 18 35 36 49 50 59 63 64 66 67

Be patient it will be up before tomorrow.

[mrxa]

guys, how can I connect to this newsgroup using SeaMonkey (os x)?
i tryed anything but no success....

thx

[1207FX]

here is an idea? one could upload/seed the the rars as they get them?

[seren]

How about we be patient.

[compaqdrew]

seren - my objections to usenet are moral, not technical, in nature.

[WinLinMac01]

I will have to agree that all of the .rar files need to be nearly the same size. So I only download the files that are labeled as new/idle only right? Incompletes I disregard for now?

[Puttabong]

Correct! :)

[WinLinMac01]

Attached: here is a picture of how the file's current statuses look on my side. download attachment

[WinLinMac01]

what usenet clients do "you" recommend for this kinds of hefty download? Newsbin is giving my all incompletes.

[WinLinMac01]

Zephyroth, I'm seeing that the total image size is roughly 3.7GB in size. Was there anything that was stopping you from including the extensions folder? A typical single-DL is 4.7GB.

[1207FX]

@ seren, it was a suggestion to some that have higher upload, I AM NOT asking for me, im good, I dont have to be patient, tyvm............downloading anyway!

[rodjoo]

@WinLinMac01

If you take a peek in one of parts, you can see that iso is as big as 4.4GB which is a full DVD.... 4,7GB is labeled on discs because manufacturers tend to count 1MB = 1000b and if you count it as 1024b as normal, you'll get that DVD is 4,4GB

[cgsheen]

WinLinMac01:Zephyroth, I'm seeing that the total image size is roughly 3.7GB in size. Was there anything that was stopping you from including the extensions folder? A typical single-DL is 4.7GB.Dude, I'm sure the .iso is compressed as much as possible for upload - that's what a RAR is (like a .ZIP file).

[cgsheen]

WinLinMac01:what usenet clients do "you" recommend for this kinds of hefty download? Newsbin is giving my all incompletes.That probably isn't as much your newsreader as your news SERVER...

[Jare]

Hey, I remember from 10.5.1 that I couldn't burn the .rar's and had to extract them all, get the final .iso and burn it. But still had no luck booting from the DVD.

Is this one (parts) already up somewhere, as I cannot find it. I looked on a few placed and I don't see even part1/2/3 or w/e. Or is this just me?

[WinLinMac01]

Zephyroth is up to the 46th file (it just keeps getting closer)

[WinLinMac01]

is unison easy? Puttabong, can you show your images for Unison?

[cgsheen]

@Jare
Ya, they're up including Zeph's original posts and the "PAR" file.
On my news server everything is complete 1 thru 46 are complete with the exceptions of parts 28 & 29 which are still incomplete...

[Jare]

So can someone link me to start downloading? (Not usenet plZ)

[7th]

cgsheen:@Jare
Ya, they're up including Zeph's original posts and the "PAR" file.

do you know what is this .par file? If you know, could you explain it to me? Thanks!

[seren]

The par file is used to repair rars im working on repairing 28 and 29 par is the god of rar archives and usenet binaries


edit
nope cant recover them not enough par files to recover with should be fine im not worried,

[7th]

13 more to go =)

[WinLinMac01]

really? Excluding the 13, are the rest of the .rar files complete?
So far, I am assuming that 60 files have been uploaded right?

Zephyroth must have been awake for the past 24 hours. Zephyroth, when you are done, do yourself a favor, when you are done, congratulate yourself, and go to sleep, or else your computer will give you a nightmare. Must be tired now, heh? Thank you very much for your strong efforts. :D



7th:13 more to go =)

[demigodz]

For anyone who doesn't know how to use Newsgroups or doesn't want to mess with a client just sign up to www.easynews.com. You can browse and download everything using your web browser. No need to download tons of headers.

[Jare]

Help, I'm using newsbin and I cannot figure out what server this is being uploaded at?

[WinLinMac01]

do me a favor and throw newsbin out of the window. I can't even trace the directory where my files are being stored.

Jare:Help, I'm using newsbin and I cannot figure out what server this is being uploaded at?

[WinLinMac01]

where are we at now for the upload status? anyone?

[demigodz]

WinLinMac01:where are we at now for the upload status? anyone?

45 files (2.15 GB) / 73 files (3.46 GB) available

[1207FX]

43/73 is the last update from zeph

correction, by my news thingy it says 49 in uploaded and 50 n 51 are in progress

[Jare]

So what prog do I use? I've never used usenet before.

[WinLinMac01]

use unison for mac, and grabit for pc, or simply use knews

[1207FX]

the one I have is "grabit", works wonderfully it also shows you a download folder in the taskbar of the program

[Jare]

Do I need a usenet account?

[1207FX]

yes, I do not know where the cheapest is, but I got one thru newsrazor.net 10 bux

[Jare]

Btw what server do I put in for GrabIT?

[Jare]

Damnit. I don't have a credit card. Anyone wanna seed the current files for me? :S

[WinLinMac01]

you can get a free aCCOUNT just flip back a couple pages in this discussion

Jare:Btw what server do I put in for GrabIT?

[1207FX]

free? come the F*** on.............I missed that one like evidentally...lol

[demigodz]

Jare:So what prog do I use? I've never used usenet before.

Jare:Btw what server do I put in for GrabIT?

1207FX:yes, I do not know where the cheapest is, but I got one thru newsrazor.net 10 bux


Like I said earlier. WWW.EASYNEWS.COM.... $9.95 a month for 20GB and it's all web based. No need for a client. Use their search feature and look for "Leopard AMD", check all the parts and add them to you zip slot, download and extract ISO and burn. Simple and its all web based

[Jare]

I can't afford to pay for anything (no credit card). ANY other way? I looked through this whole topic.. no free shit.

[1207FX]

Looks like it pays to know a little about these "news"

wish I had known before I bought mine

[Jare]

1207FX:

Did you get a free account? I'm desperately trying.

[1207FX]

no sir, I payed for mine as well. sorry for the not so good news

[Jare]

Win said there's a free account? Where...
