HQ PICS DOWNLOADS and Status List (MTG)

[Huggybaby]

I like this approach, this is how GH distributes his Magic Album Torrent. Note you may have to force a hash check after you point to the proper download folder, depending on your software. In uTorrent it's in the right click menu.

For file renames, it would be helpful if you post what the changes are, so that people may manually change them before updating, to avoid re-downloading those files. (the hashes are made file-name to file-name, right?)

I posted without seeing skibulk's post...
I will post the changes, they are minor.
So, you will extract the affected DGM folders, make the spelling corrections, then rezip using 7zip, zip compression, storage settings. This may not always work, as hashes may not be identical between machines, which is why Torrentzip was invented. But in the years I've been doing this not one person has ever used Torrentzip on their sets to my knowledge, so I quit trying to force a square peg into a round hole.

OK, just to get this straight - If there's an altered file in the new torrent, do I need to manually delete the old one then force a hash check, or will it just overwrite?

It will just overwrite, no problemo.

Corrected torrent is in the release post: viewtopic.php?p=117788#p117788

Changes:

1) DGM = Corrected two spellings in three files
Bred for the hunt -> Bred for the Hunt
Renounce the Guild -> Renounce the Guilds

2) Added CMA

If you were downloading the previous torrent, you should not start this one at 0%. Make sure you're pointing your client to the previous "CCGHQ MTG Pics" folder.

It's finally uploaded, thanks everybody for your patience!

DL'ed - 5.79GB, uploaded - 99.65GB

[Huggybaby]

Holy cow! Nice ratio! (1:17.2)

[magicquark]

Yikes, just saw the corrected torrent, switching to it. Uploaded over 23GB on the old one. At least I'm on the right one now...will keep it seeding indefinitely.

Was anyone planning to host this as a non-torrent archive for a short time for those of us who are not in a position to use the torrent?



EDIT:

I should have mentioned that my question only refers to the new Dragon's Maze HQ pictures.

[Huggybaby]

Chris, all these files are somewhere for download. I think Ark has a site, and there's one called MTGBR or something, and then they're all in the MA torrent of course too.

Everyone can torrent! You can torrent too!

[magicquark]

I'm still seeding. Almost 70GB uploaded.

Hi everyone, Thanks for all the hard work on this.

I recently lost my HDD and I'm having trouble finding the link, where can I download a torrent of everything until now? Or does it have to have to be done individually with sets.

[Xitax]

I understand that in order to release XLHQ scans of any pre-8th sets you need new scans. I have the following sets I could scan (over time) and some example scans:
3ED, 4ED, DRK (It), LEG (It), ALL, ICE, HML, FEM, MBS, WTH, VIS, MIR, ULG (missing 8 ), USG, STH, DRK, UNG, NMS (missing 7), MMQ (missing 29), CHR

Thank you, I already have most of the scans from skibulk. Now, to find the time.

[skibulk]

Yah we're kind of taking a shortcut too - instead of scanning the entire set all over again, we're just scanning a couple cards from each set, from which we can properly measure and recreate the frame for use on the images we already have. I had all of the core sets from Unlimited forward and the expansion sets from Mirage forward. If somebody has cards from the earlier sets, box sets, and introductory sets, we still need those images.

If this could be uploaded to Mediafire (or something similar), I would be in your debt. The torrent option just isn't working for me. ("This" being HQ DGM Fulls.)
