Red_RX, I will also try emule, but here is the reply I got from the Overnet help forum:

Ah, I see that is actually a button, thought it was just a graphic. The version is v.0.49.4 and I'm trying to download via a link that others have used successfully before:

ed2k://|file|techhighlights.zip|540821793|A5A6BA7FD30040F 9AE226D59EB1398DB|/

Does this mean that the link is not working for downloads anymore, or there are too many people downloading from there already?

No it just means that overnet hasn't found any sources. Leave it running, it may find some.

I'll try to get this right for you...

http://www.emule-project.net/

That's where you download it. Click on the red "available " in the site.

July 13th 2003: eMule v0.29c is available!

Download:
Installer v0.29c
Link

Pick a mirror location...

Instead of saving it, open it. It will go into the installation when finished downloading. Install it.

When installation is finished, open (run) it. Copy/paste the link

ed2k://|file|techhighlights.zip|540821793|A5A6BA7FD30040F 9AE226D59EB1398DB|/

It should start downloading. That's all I can remember. There's some stuff throughout all this that I guess you gotta do that's pretty intuitive. I hope none of that kinda stuff hangs you up much...
I did this stuff last night at home. I'm at work now, so I'm kinda going by memory here...

How about sharing it on Kazaa?

RX8 Seller

I am downloading now, will let everyone know if kazaa will accept the file, it is very large.

red_rx8_red_int

Thanks Racer X-8! I'm also downloading it now. With 5 or 6 people uploading from me. I'll put a copy in my kazaa shared folder when it's complete.

Canada

Same here. Thanks Racer X-8!

Racer X-8

That's the ticket! Sorry to see your slow speed though. I have Fastaccess DSL & although my connection was Low (whatever), my speed was hovering around 30kB/s the whole 5 hour download time. Hey though, at least you're doing it!

I'm gonna download that Nero demo software to crack the unzipped techhighlights.iso file so I can burn it onto CD. I'll let you know if it works as well as this part did...:D

Canada

Yes, the speed of downloading is way under the 187kB/sec that I am supposed to get with Sympatico HSE. And now it has fallen to 2.7kB/s with a projected completion time of 39 more hours! There must be a bottleneck somewhere.

Racer X-8

The Nero demo software worked! I burned a CD with it & just finished watching it. Yay! Nice CD.

(Windows XP)

Hey Canada, was it you that caused the blackout? :D

Canada

We heard about the blackout while my wife and I were away at a hotel in the boonies. Lucky for us, Montreal and environs are on a different grid.

Now that we're back, I found the techhighlights.zip folder saved to disk thanks to you guys and emule. I'm not sure how to unzip it though. When I open the folder, then click on the .iso file, it just freezes up. I downloaded nero and tried burning the CD but it seems to be writing the .zip file, isn't it supposed to convert it to an mpeg or something first?

red_rx8_red_int

It's not freezing up. It takes a looong time. At least it did for me with XP. Try doing a search of your hard drive for techhighights and you'll see a temp file in a temp directory--remember where that directory is. Then double click the zip file (folder in xp with a zipper) you'll see the iso file. Right click the iso file and select copy, then get to where you want to paste it and right click to paste. It will appear to freeze up. Now use new my computer windows to browse to the temp directory (and maybe to the zip location also, I don't remember) and all of a sudden the moving file box will pop up and mine said something like 39 minutes remaining. It took about 8 minutes. This is a huge file and the unzipper built into XP appears much slower than the previous stand alone PKunzip.

Racer X-8

emule downloads techhighlights.zip which is 528,147 KB.

You must unzip it first BEFORE using Nero. Double-click this .zip file. What unzips is techhighlights.iso which is 548,969 KB, which you gotta save to your hard drive. You should at this point now have both the .zip & the .iso files saved to a permanent location on your hard drive ("My Downloaded Files" is a logical place for them).

Did you install all 3 nero downloads? I did. (The second download wouldn't install until I updated my ActiveX. While I was at it, I did a lot of other Windows updates - some "critical" ones) Anyway...

Fire-up Nero StartSmart. Without clicking, put your curser over the second selection from the right that looks like a safe with 2 cd's - called "Copy and Backup". The sub-tasks change to a group which has "Burn Image to Disc" (top-right in the sub-tasks). That's the one - click it. (Click Demo.) A browser window titled "Open" will automatically pop-up for you. Browse to, select & "open" your techhighlights.iso file. A "Burn Compilation" window opens. With a new CD-R in your drive, click the "Burn" button.

When burned, the CD will be loaded with 561,373,184 bytes of stuff. It's root directory will have 37 files & one folder named "Xtras", & that folder will have a total of 12 folders under it. The disc is self starting, but in case it doesn't, run "RX8.exe" in its root directory.

Hope this helps...

Thanks to you guys' help with Nero etc, I got it to work. :D What an interesting CD this is! My dealer hasn't seen this tech highlights CD yet so I'll drop him a copy...when I pick up my car, that is (next week, I hope).

Racer X-8

Alrighty then! :D

Somebody out there still has to do this. All this will come in handy.

I think I agree with the others in the previous thread - Nero rocks. I'm gonna see if it's what I've been looking for in the way of DVD recording...the demo is good until Aug. 31st.

You sure you didn't cause that blackout?

RX8 Seller

OK I have one a little bit off topic, being a work station computer, needless to say I do not have a burner available. Is there a program that is known out there that will allow me to use the iso file from my hard drive?

Thanks for the help if you know.

strong bad

Yup. Ever heard of WinISO? Pretty sure they've got evaluation copy on their website... guess what the url is ok ok ok... www.winiso.com

Just open the .ISO with this and you should be able to watch the clips individually...they'll extract to a directory on your hdd

RX8 Seller

TYVM :-0)) trying it now, come on kazaa..... ohh i mean web site have a trail version.... lol

RX8 Seller

strong bad

heh, oh I understand you completely.. I just didn't want to be caught promoting piracy publicly

BTW did it work for you OK?

Deep Blue

Hi Guys,

Can some of you who use EMule (or Donkey) please log into the network and share your finished techhighlights.zip file? I only need another 27MBs, and haven't had any luck in the last day or so.

Would appreciate it.....

Thanks.

RX8 Seller

works like a champ :0) thanks again

Canada

Will do so now, Deep Blue.

Deep Blue

Just Completed....HUGE thanks to Canada

Thanks for the assistance my friend.
