Zephyroth Uploading 10.5.2 Revision 2 (Latest Release), Discuss Here!

WinLinMac01 · #1 03-11-2008, 06:46 AM

Well, its that time again, Zephyroth is UPLOADING his LATEST RELEASE at this very moment. He has preferred NewsGroups as the primary download method. The torrents will start appearing later in the coming hours. If you are experiencing any download problems, concerns that you would like to address, feel free to add them in this discussion. Discuss as you download is the best way to put it. =) Let's all thank Zephyroth again for a wonderful release, and we all can't wait to play with this UPDATE!

NOTE: Zephyroth has preferred the same NewsGroup (alt.binaries.mac.cd-images) I will update periodically as the files come through. Enjoy!

In the following link is a NZB I created for everyone to use to download Zephyroth's new release within their UseNET Client. Way faster than torrent.

Enjoy!

What are those three .par files about?

kisho · #4 03-11-2008, 07:27 AM

can anyone tell me what NewsGroup is? Can you also tell me where to download the 10.5.2 Revision 2.
Thanks

dred · #5 03-11-2008, 07:28 AM

I wander if he had made some changes to the rar files that had already been uploaded and was just trying to update them.

WinLinMac01 · #6 03-11-2008, 07:48 AM

@kisho, sure the NewsGroup is alt.binaries.mac.cd-images

Follow the procedures below-

PC Users: (I prefer NewsRover, a NewsGroup /UseNET Client)

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"

Mac Users: (Use Unison- a NewsGroup / UseNET Client)

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

Hope this helps out.

WinLinMac01: just incase the new rev doesn't fix or improve Lan freeze issues do you think you can point me in the right direction to get a wireless option working? I have a D-Link DWL-G520 but couldn't get 10.5.2 to recognize it.

WinLinMac01 · #8 03-11-2008, 07:53 AM

@dred, is this a RT2500 chipset? If it is, then Zephyroth said he included a fix for those wireless devices. Most wireless is intended to be supported now by the updated release according to my understanding. I posted in the first comment, the fixes that are included in this release. Visit mac.kbot.de for updated information (if there is any)

dred · #9 03-11-2008, 07:55 AM

I think it is Atheros

WinLinMac01 · #10 03-11-2008, 08:01 AM

@dred, totally different chipset, I would recommend you to convince Zephyroth to include this in his next PPF. If you find any working kexts, provide them to him.

found a couple of resources that may help you:

I don't know what the exact model of your Atheros chipset, but the resources I provided above may give you an idea.
Working kexts are there as well including a configuration guide, etc. Worth checking out.
