Ooooh the suspense!

You'll only miss a few hours then. :inquisitive:

You'll still probably get it before me....last time it took me 21 hours to download EB, and with the all of the new features included, the unit cards included, etc. etc., it will probably be even bigger than .8x.

EVERY SECOND i miss the EB 1.0 release a puppy dies, meaning if it was a few hours the puppies will be extinct, we wouldn't want that would we? :laugh4:

Meh, puppies will be fine. Too many anyway.

And by puppies I mean babies.

:inquisitive:

I sacrifice puppies to the EB gods on a daily basis.

oh....

well then every second that goes by without eb1.0 then abou dies? how's that sound. :laugh4:

No good. We need abou for information.

Damn right.

grr, okay how about YOU bootsiuv, every second I go without eb 1.0 after release you die?

oh and MAA too.

:sad:

But who will run the succession game friend?

And who will fetch you an ale when your parched from slaughtering makedonians in the noonday sun?

There is always school somewhere in the world. Unless you want us to wait until weekend, of course :wink:.

Yeah, but there still might be sunday school for some.

I say we wait until Christmas. That way nobody has to wait.

I'm pretty sure Christmas is not an ubiquitous holiday across the world. Come to think of it, so isn't the "western weekend". Guess the release is cancelled then.

You should release it on my birthday!!!:balloon::balloon2::balloon:

BTW, I was born October 9th. :beam:

Or was I?:inquisitive:

Here's something in the meantime :cake:.

Well, as soon as I've got it I'll try to split it up, rejoin it and see if it works.
If it does, I might upload it and send the links per PM to anyone here who might want to put the links behind the DL-counter - if he wants to. It's just an idea.
But keep in mind that I of course can't do this before I've got it myself, so even if this would work, it would not be the way to go for the Holy Downloaders of the First Hour.

That's just the problem. These would count 4 times as many as others.

Hmmm...I should remember this.

Note to myself: Next time people get thinking some new EB version comes out. Wait with the new screenshot competition... Gnagnagnagnagnaaa!!!

Hi Bovi,

Forget about the newsserver thing it's very handy only if people are familiar with it

But what you can do is besides having 1 big file is the following

You can create with a program called Quickpar small repair files for the big file if some one missing a few blocks ( a few bytes or mb's) the program can see this and will tell you how much you're missing the only thing what they have to do is download a few extra repair blocks and run par2 (this will automatic start quickpar) and then it will automatic start the repair

Sorry for the very short and lowlevel explanation but in short it means

people need a free program called Quickpar less then (1 mb )

They have to DL Eb1.0 and a par2 file (wich you created with Quickpar its very simple)

check the downloaded file with the par 2 file fileEB081aFinal.exe.par2 (created with QP only 7 kb or so this small file the have to download also)

If they miss something let say 4 blocks they only have to DL another 5 MB or so (EB081aFinal.exe.vol06+04.PAR2) they DO NOT HAVE TO DL THE BIG FILE AGAIN

When you have DL the repair blocks click the par2 file again it will check it again and see that there are enough repair blocks then it will ask you to start the repair and KLAAR IS KEES

Example of EB0.81final

If you have further questions about this just ask but i think that people with a low upload and/or a bad provider will benefit from this method

ps here is the english version of QP http://www.binaries4all.com/quickpar/
