HQ PICS DOWNLOADS and Status List (MTG)

[ohforf]

hey guys,
Does anyone have the black-bordered inserts from I2P?

Magic Librarities link:
http://www.magiclibrarities.net/582-rarities-introductory-two-player-set-support-cards-english-cards-english.html

I couldn't find the full-size version of those cards and here we only have links for the white-bordered versions.
From the Librarities link, the black bordered cards actually seems to be an edit of the other ones.

I tried to replicate it using MS Paint but was unable to.
Sorry, I have zero photoshop skills...


Cheers

deicidemilan started the discussion first at viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7533.

At 249 cards, Gatecrash is a large expansion in the Return to Ravnica block.
There are lots of new mechanics and other stuff in this set. For more details see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatecrash and http://wiki.mtgsalvation.com/article/Gatecrash.

Some of the art for this set reminds me of comic book art, so for my examples this time I've focused on those, rather than show cards that include the new mechanics.
This is a good looking set too, kudos to Ark and extreme.

The above pic really reminds me of the oil painting Alex Ross did for Marvels.

I chose that one for the stained glass effect.

Dirty, nasty, bloody rats. Yay!

LINKS:
I'm not using a file locker this time. Instead, see the attached torrent file, or get it from TPB.
Make sure DHT is enabled, especially if your client is not udp-aware.
I expect mirrors for the torrent-challenged will be along shortly.

CREDITS: Thanks to Ark for the scans, and the by-now-fully-rested extreme for processing.

Trying BT this time huh...

[temik]

Thanks guys, you are great as always
IMHO BitTorrent is a good idea.

[Ark]

It will be if enough people seed... I'm using the official client (7.7.3) and can get 2MB/s down on other legit downloads. I don't use BT all that often, but this one is going pretty slow... 5-10kB/s fluctuation... hitting only 1kB/s at times now... upstream is gaining momentum though.

Geez, now I'm down to 0.5kB/s download, and upload is up to 120kB/s...

[skibulk]

It just started, and as of right now it has 9 peers. Give it time to build and speed will increase. Although I have doubts for long-term life on per-set torrents.

[Ark]

Yeah, I think most people are going to not seed, as soon as it finishes downloading for them..

[Huggybaby]

My max upload is 25 kB/s. I'm stealth seeding too. Once some more folks get this downloaded speed will not be an issue.

As for long-term life on per-set torrents, I don't expect much longevity either. But I'm sick of file lockers and their waiting times and captchas and all the other restrictions.
In spite of that I would still use them if my upload speed weren't so slow. I hate to upload for an hour only to find out that the file got corrupted along the way. Heck, I had corruption issues downloading them this time. Torrents are quite robust and eliminate that problem.

One solution would be for everyone to give me ftp access to their servers.

[extreme]

I use Deluge w encryption, in my experience it's much faster in the case of my torrent-controlling ISP, but ymmv.

[temik]

I've got pretty good link (both down and up in 70MBit range) and will seed for some time. After that I have a suggestion - when full block arrives - build Block torrent, it will live for longer time than per-set torrents.

[deicidemilan]

Nice job like as always <3

how does the torrent experiment work, I'm curious. Is distribution happening ok ?

Like a charm, 30 seeders in total and im downloading at 500 kbps/s, good, very very good indeed.

[Bog Wraith]

As always, fantastic job guys.

Chose the torrent route as I wanted to see what the download speed would be this morning & it was at a blazing speed of up to 800+ kps!

Thanks again to all of you for providing yet another top quality set!

[dg2701]

Thanks for the scan! Great quality!
