Author Update #1 @Rajmahal783 2008-02-17

Hey WinLinMac01 sorry for the late reply just got back on, but to answer your question no it does not matter you can use either method you want. I did it manually to since not all the files were uploaded at the time. I'm glad it worked out for you.

Author Update #2 @Rajmahal783 2008-02-18

Hey MikeJena no no I said uncheck the incomplete parts bec at the time Zeph was still uploading all the files now it's all done so there are no incomplete parts. Now check all of them you really don't need all of the par files the only one you need it the very first one zeph put up the first one on the list-.par file(the oldest .par file) And of course all the .rar files that's it.

Field Note #1 @WinLinMac01 2008-02-17

I do recommend this method. Amazing site you provided to us once again. Downloaded everything in less than an hour! compared to 1 day and 12 hours for torrent. LOL

Field Note #2 @WinLinMac01 2008-02-17

I didn't use the Inverse method rather at the time I manually added the files as they were uploaded by Zephyroth. Does it really matter? Or should I download 3.37GB again?

Field Note #3 @christurner 2008-02-18

thank you for this method, i had started the torrent, but that was going to take a day and a half (38 hours!) i said, why wait that long?

Field Note #4 @BANKAI 2008-02-18

because all people install it before seed Now go good

Field Note #5 @MikeJena 2008-02-18

Thanks for this hint...
But why do i have to uncheck the incomplete parts?
There are Par2 Files to repair them?

If i uncheck them, they will be missing...
*confused*

Field Note #6 @MikeJena 2008-02-18

Ah Ok

I Hope it will work on my Acer Aspire 3103 (Sempron 3400+ SSE3, AtiX1100)
But i'm sanguine...

Field Note #7 @Nafreyu 2008-02-19

Hello. Do you have the md5sum's for the whole .rar files? Because I have a little isue whe i tried to extract the iso file it crash at 25%. I could download the rar files again but the newsbin doesn't like to do it all the files are in the Failed Files basket with the "Duplicate / Sig mac" error.
