thats a really good link you gave to us. no need to configure usenet, works flawlessly, where did you find this? amazing, good one. Up to my 59th file, 58 and 57 are also available online, complete according to website.

I am using Unison for Mac. Simply clicked on Zephyroth's 2.71GB folder on the server, and initiated everything. files 28 and 29 I deleted for now whereas 59 I am still coming up for a confirmation that it is complete.

.par?

What do we do with that? I know you extract the .rar's and burn the ISO, but wtf is the .par for?

not sure, seems like you combine them with existing .rar files to get the complete part such as with files 28 and 29.

here is the method I used. easy and simply:

for MAC

1. Download Unison (http://www.panic.com/unison/)
2. Go to "http://astinews.de/xtest" and sign up for a Free Account
3. Check your E-Mail
4. Install Unison and enter the Login information that you received to your E-Mail by Astinews
5. Search for the Newsgroup "alt.binaries.mac.cd-images" and add it
6. Search for the files by zephyroth and start downloading :)

Jare use this method for new account and downloading purposes:

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...

Did it arleady. 5% done d/ling. Answer my .par question ;)

The first 34 files I see are 48MB. Is this how it should be? Please confirm, thanks.

Hey WinLinMac01 LOL I'm glad it's working out really well. I actually ran across it by accident I googled-alt.binaries.mac.cd-images and that what the first site to pop up, and then just did some research to figure out how to download it and of course this forum and I forget the person's name who first said about to set up a free account for newsgroup. But yea google is your friend! lol

LOL@Raj :D

@Jare, Parchive (or parity volume set archive) is a forward error correction-style system that can be applied to one or more files to allow recovery when data is lost or corrupted. When used with collections of files, some missing files can be regenerated.

Awesome. So I assume the following:

Download, Extract, Burn .iso, install? Is there a topic for what system it works best on?
