Torrent up yet? For Rev.2

I would use the newsgroups strategy but I signed up at asti news.de/xtest when Zephyroth first released 10.5.2 and I can't find the email nor do I remember my username ext. Any ideas when the torrent will be up?

Once again you have saved the day for me WinLinMac01 haha. I noticed it's 4.37gb so I am assuming it's a new dvd so I can just do a reinstall of Leopard off of it?

No I don't think so, wouldn't rapidshare be blocked also?

there's one on the bay right now, but only one seed. just wait a while for more to pop up.

Field Note #2 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

People are currently seeding on the torrents right now. However, I don't know why you are considering the NewsGroup methods. Visit mac.kbot.de where I posted a How-to guide for your exact purpose. Pretty straightforward. =)

the asti trial account is limited to an certain ammount of traffic (and time?).
so you might not be able to use the old account anyway.
creating a new one requires a different email, i think.

Field Note #4 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

Creating a new account requires a different email and most importantly, a different IP (Internet Protocol) address. Astinews gives you a free 5-day trial. It is never limited to a certain amount of traffic and time according to my study. Astinews is only useful for UseNET / NewsGroup downloads.

Field Note #5 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

good to hear, you're the one who created the torrent in the first place right? I was having skepticism in the beginning about that torrent file, but all seems credible.

Field Note #9 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

not bad, you didn't prefer the NewsGroups. What happened? It was too inconvenient?

[cite] xx66stangxx:mine is about 160 kB/s
Field Note #10 @new2osx86 2008-03-12

me: 6 kb/s =
and upload is 9 kb/s. Dun't know why?

Field Note #11 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-12

thats decent, no just kidding, really SLOW. whats up with your connection. what kind of connection do you have?

Field Note #12 @ilov3lala 2008-03-13

any file host like rapidshare? because my school block torrent and usenet

Field Note #13 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-13

don't think so since that user already stated it (self-explanatory). Somebody should upload all 71 files on rapidshare, but who is willing thats my question.
