The Recruit

2 CD VHS screener. Not a bad movie.

edit: this is a vhs screener not dvd.. I was told otherwise when I grabbed it but the quality is still good enough.

Question:

It keeps having an error downloading:

Error (6:30) -
a piece failed hash check, re-downloading it


Is this going to cause problems viewing it?

It seems like it's downloading fine. The first time that error came up it was at 7%, now it's at 17%. I just wasn't sure if it would affect the playability of the movie.

Thanks for all these downloads btw :)

It might have downloaded part of it corrupt. When it's near the end of the download see if it the progress bar goes over 100% It does that sometimes if it's re-downloading a chunk that got corrupted.

I finished my download 10 hours ago, keeping it open still and uploading at 30k ... best I can do, I'm afraid ... will keep it running as long as I can.

Just finished downloading. It picked up at a good clip the past 2 hours or so. I'll leave it open for quite a while so people can keep downloading if they wish.

I have another question though: how do I get it to play? It's not just the sample movie is it? Or is it the MSInfo Document (tcf-trp)? That one comes up as corrupted when I try to open it.

Edit: nm, I figured it out. I downloaded a cue/bin ---> mpeg convertor

Decent movie. Not worth the 20 hour download IMO.

I got some great speed on mine when I downloaded it, was done in like 2 hours, kept it up at least that long afterwards to help others out with it. Haven't watched it yet tho :p

Could you post a link to this? Don't really feel like using 2 CD's on something I'll probably only watch once ;)

That, or just use daemontools or some other mounting program to mount the bin/cue images and watch it in your favorte dvd / vcd / svcd player - you won't need the harddisk space for the converted mpeg.
