Download options
« on: June 16, 2006, 05:48:48 pm »
Are people using any source other than BitTorrent to download PS 0.3.14? I'm on a 56 kbps dial-up, and Bittorrent is useless to me... my only hope is to download it from work and bring it home. I'm not sure why the download mirrors are so reticent in adding the new Mac version to their lists, but it's been many months.

The answer is probably buried in the 50th line of a message somewhere and my post will be abruptly locked in 5 minutes' time. But if so, I couldn't find it, so I thought it was worth asking. I just have trouble believing that the time taken to get a downloadable Mac version out could be this terrible, so I figure I've missed something.

You're right about the last part of your post, if you actually read this forum you would've found the link ages ago.
I guess some *ahem*  people are just too lazy.

No. I really did search. And having read your posts, I searched again and still can't find the info I need mentioned. Among other things, I searched for "3.014" "3.14" and even "314" in the Mac OS X and Server forums with no luck finding a suitable mirror. Of course if you have enough spare time to read the forums continuously, maybe you might find it mentioned in a post that didn't have the obvious keywords or just ones I didn't think of. Without the keywords, you might appreciate that there is a formidable volume of posts to work through.

Thanks Jos for your helpful reply. The actual links on the Planeshift download page still say 0.3.013 (and actually delivered 0.3.013 last time I tried them), so I had no idea that one of them actually links to the new version instead.

It would be great if something about that could be put in the stickies until all the servers are updated.

I have plenty of bandwidth, and bittorrent is usually the best DL option for me.  Right now though, the torrent for 3.014.macosx is really slow. 2 seeds and 1.5 kb/s max.  I wish i knew how to write IRC scripts/bots, it would be neat to have a seed-request mechanism to which users could opt-in.  I wonder if it's an issue for other OSs? 7% and 7 hours left to go...mrrr.

maybe there is already some seed request mechanism I have yet to locate?
