Guys, everyone should be very grateful to huggy & his slow connection, without which none of this would be possible. And to GH, of course, whose server we use, the same applies.

Thanks!

XLHQ Pics torrent released, including Dragon's Maze

We found a couple, thanks to seedds and Ark.

The Dragon's Maze discussion was started by deicidemilan at viewtopic.php?f=15&t=8555.
The torrent with Dragon's Maze is attached.

* The torrent is supposed to include every XLHQ pic we've done, so if anything is missing please let me know.
* All sets are supposed to be latest Gatherer 3-letter set codes. If any are wrong please let me know.
* There are not only XLHQ pics in the torrent. There are regular HQ crops and fulls as well. The plan is that eventually they will all be there.
* The files are all zipped with no compression. That makes them quicker to uncompress, or read while compressed. I think there's an app somewhere that supports zipped sets, and if there isn't there should be. Plus jpegs don't compress well. So although there could have been some space savings, I like the extra speed better.
* I used zip format, as always, because it works for a lot of people who don't know what rar or 7zip is.

There are nine DGM files:
DGM Achievements.zip
DGM Backs.zip
DGM Crops.zip
DGM Fulls.zip
DGM Guilds.zip
DGM Tips.zip
DGM Tokens.zip
DGM XLHQ Tokens.zip
DGM XLHQ.zip

Thanks to extreme for processing and Ark for the scans, and randerscheinung for the fills.

First released torrent downloaded 190 times.
Corrected torrent below.

We need the original seeders or early downloaders to keep seeding this -- it's almost stalled at about 1.3GB -- I'll keep the torrent live once the download is complete, but gotta be able to get all of it so I can seed! :)

I only downloaded the DGM related files & yes, it was very slow. I wish I could seed but my ISP gets all bitchy when I do so I had to stop doing so a few years ago.

Thanks again goes to extreme and all who help to get these sets ready each & every time, and to Huggy for all the work he does with the torrent.

And of course a HUGE thank you to one Goblin Hero for our home here at CCGHQ!

Thank you all guy's, your work & time devoted to this is very much appreciated! :)

Hundreds of people have these files, but the multitudes will insist on joining at 0%. That's the way it goes.

Does anyone know if there is a seed for the torrent with 100% ratio? I only see someone with about 30% which of course only allows me to get to 30% ratio and no further.

I've been stealth seeding. Don't worry, your ratio will continue to climb.

This is an excellent idea. I can continue to seed indefinitely.

I'm not sure what happens when you try to add files to an existing torrent. I hope it doesn't think I need to download everything again.

By the way, I found an error in DGM card names. "Renounce the Guild"

Thank you.
Those errors will be fixed with the next release.
The next release will be before anybody downloading the current release reaches 100%.
You will not have to start over from scratch with any new torrent. Point the next torrent to your current download location, and after hash checking the files you should have close to 100%. If your torrent client says you're joining at 0%, then it's not downloading to the proper location.

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?)

NOTICE: New torrent with DGM spelling corrections will be released in about 3.5 hrs, at 1800 hrs EST. You will not be able to complete the current torrent.

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?
