silivrenion Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Things have been strange lately, so I wanted to make an update. All services are available until April 12ish, except RainbowTables by Mail, which isn't available until June sometime. The torrent is currently being seeded via one 95kb/sec connection with redundant servers. It is working. I check daily on status logs. Just be patient, 120GB is really large to torrent. On a more positive note, those who do have a full set of the torrent are encouraged to help seed. You'll make everyone's day, and you'll get mad props from the community for helping out. Questions? Wanna help seed and already have a copy of the tables? Contact hak5rainbowtables@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I'm guessing those dates are American format... For anyone who isn't good with those; Starting immediately = Now 10th March, 2007 = Cutoff date for arrival of packages already in the mail 12th March, 2007 = Torrent seed offline 12th March, 2007 = rtables validation machine goes down 24th March, 2007 = Networking kit will be packed up, Crackbot will disappear As yet unknown date = When it'll all be back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painkiller667 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 though it might seem that Im saying this only to make you seed the tables longer, which I am, I think that you really should try your best to, at least the people who have it on a n external hdd or something, because if you leave me unseeded at my 95 percent, with 0 of the files totally complete, it would just plain be aggrevating. Imagine yourselves in my situation, downloading the 120 gig tables for over a month, when suddenly it all goes to waste, the time, the power wasted leaving the comp overnight, and so forth... please I beg you, share it. Otherwise, this community project wouldn't be so community anymore, being that only the people who got to it first, get to have it. These tables are the greatest that had ever existed for lm, and were created by the hak5 community, they should live on... I might sound corny, but im just trying to inspire you to SEEEEED. Thanks if you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remkow Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I totally agree. DO NOT stop seeding it until there are some others who have finished downloading (finally) and can start seeding. please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silivrenion Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Thanks for your concern. I assure you I can understand your frustrations with the torrent if this happened. I've taken steps to make sure this doesn't get interrupted, but they're kind of buried in the itinerary of events. The torrent host moves to another machine this weekend, but the torrent will stay seeded well into April via CrackBot. I also purchased a new laptop, which will help alleviate some of my troubles. I don't expect any problems with service interruptions with the torrent, and I will make sure it is available to be completed by people.

Keith Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Is this torrent still being seeded? I've been stuck at 92.3% for a few weeks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcperkel Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Is this torrent still being seeded? I've been stuck at 92.3% for a few weeks now. Yup... you and everybody else. To date no-one has successfully downloaded a set from the torrent. 1 person with a DSL connection could solve this, but the situation has been allowed to persist for months, at some point you have to wonder if it's by design.

SomeoneE1se Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 yes we have nothing better to do than to screw you guys over with a 'fake' torrent by the way did you hear we never landed on the moon there's aliens running Area 51 and 9/11 was an evil plot by the government to do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silivrenion Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 What benefit would there be to designing something that wouldn't make sense? The fact is we're moving, and uptime is hectic with all of the stuff going on. Nevermind the fact that most of the contributing distribution seeds that were GOING to seed for us never actually did, my bandwidth's taking a full blow of this whole thing. Just try to be patient with the torrent. Its big and huge, and probably one of the first of its kind. Torrenting this one has also taught a lot of lessons that we will ensure won't happen again in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
