I have, and was using utilities like that way before jdownloader existed. Though it makes things easier in the since of not having to wait for one to finish to begin the next you still have to tell the downloader of all the links you want to pull the data from.Clefaria wrote:Google Jdownloader. You can queue up everything you need from my/whoever's Mediafire and have it download it all automatically.

It will still definitely take you less time overall than a torrent would. Not to mention that 'users' of my bundle routinely find small mistakes of 'bugs' in it that I try to quickly fix, and doing that just once would immediately make a torrent obsolete.woogerboy21 wrote:I have, and was using utilities like that way before jdownloader existed.

You can just copy paste the first page of this thread and it'll recognize all links. Or give it a link of the mediafire folder.woogerboy21 wrote:you still have to tell the downloader of all the links you want to pull the data from.
I wouldn't use a torrent either, it's way too complicated with this many files and updates are a mess. Zip files with dates on mediafire are much easier (and much much faster). Anyway, that's my last post about the topic.

With new sets 4 times per year, and updates/fixes to sets now and then, I can't see bothering to have a torrent at all. I'm throwing my vote for Mediafire as the main source for the per-set zip files.

Ideally you would get the full set from the torrent, and updates from mediafire. jDownloader also works great, it's a real lifesaver.
I know the torrent needs updating, and it will be. The torrent is ideal because MF could close my folder any time they want to, or they might crash a hard drive. Torrents are incredibly robust.

Or I can simply download one torrent file and be done with it. And if I don't want to download everything I simply uncheck the sets I don't want in the listing of availble files in the torrent. Alot easier than copying and pasting how many sets there are available into a file downloading program? (im thinking in the thought process of a completly new user, one that wants all sets, if your talking about 1 set here and there then sure a single link or two isnt bad.)You can just copy paste the first page of this thread and it'll recognize all links. Or give it a link of the mediafire folder.

Plus updating it is alot simpler, just add the updates and rebuild the torrent. Then copy the torrent up to the site and done. If the user has deleted the torrent content then yea they will need to redownloaded redundant data (assuming they leave everything set to download) but if not it skips right over the already completed content.
Either way, I am personally happy people are working on things like this and will help in any way.

The problem with updating the torrent is that you lose 30 or 40 seeders every time you do so, and it takes weeks to get them back. That's a high price to pay for adding a couple of sets.

I think the current method works good. I just noticed that the current torrent seemed to be getting out of date and was curious if the team had any plans on updating it or if individuals should start offering something newer. Sorry for starting an uproar

No problems, these things need to be discussed once in a while because newer members weren't in on the original discussions and strategizing.

This set looks fantastic. The sharpness, the saturation, I wish they would all look like this. But then, they would all have to be printed like this. Because we merely hold a mirror my friends, we neither add nor take away.
Product Info:

Notes:
There is at least one new alternate art card: The Rack, and 5 of them are foil.

Thanks, guys! They do look fantastic.
The other new art is on Mind Control, which is how it will look in M11. Also (if anyone is interested), this is the first time Enrage (Scourge, 2003), Trained Armodon (Tempest, 1997), and Wall of Spears (Antiquities, 1994) have had black borders since their original printings.
