I just got another 2% of the elephant eaten when it crashed again. So far I have 30%. Maybe Pando's choking on this one, its pretty big. Or is your upload having trouble?

Min, Is the Toba movie in two parts? I've had some whoppin' electrical storms since early this morning, so I just unplugged. Now I notice that I have another one (Toba download).

Maybe too many of us downloading at once? Just a guess. My download is going very slow. I don't know how many took Min up on his offer.

It is transmitting now, I show it at 40%.

One big file, but no bigger than the Ancient Explorer's thing.


It sat there for a long time today just doing nothing.

(Pretty much like me!)

I'd suggest waiting a bit before trying to play it.

The transmission speeds I'm showing are all over the dial.

Gotcha. But why did I get a second email for it? Was there some trouble with the first one?

Like I said earlier....it just stopped transmitting. Maybe I'll drop by their home page and see if there is any news.

I don't know why, but the downloading resumed and is moving quickly. It'll be done shortly.

I have no explanation.....they must be having server problems. Arch reported that he got the damn thing twice.


(Must be another one of those "miracles.")

I'll resume downloading this evening (eastern time). We'll see how it goes. Transmission rates looked like a sine wave last night (clamped at zero). Right now I have about 38%.

Well, I spoke to soon. I went from 30% to 90% at my usual download speed, but it has stopped sending data again. Gotta be something with Pando.

I'm looking forward to watching this one. :?

Yeah - my transmission icon has been stuck at 91% since last night.

Actually shows 666 megs sent. Could it be.....Satan?

No doubt that's what the church lady would say. :lol:

When it resumed it was a miracle, when it stopped at 666 it was satan.
Yep. I think that's it. Satan is stealing your miracle. Send me $77.77 once a month for 77 months and transmission will be normal.

:wink:
