I think Comcast just throttled my bandwidth.

Still probably worth me looking into though, you know.

I've hunted for a good process and free software for burning DVD's many times, no luck at all.
I've given up and just play vids out of my comp. VLC will play an ISO just fine with menus intact.
Ocelot, did it again...sorry Boss !

Well I have just been using the Roxio stuff that came bundled on my comp to burn DVDs so far but Id like to be able to make nice menus. I am also unsure how to go about burning seasons of television shows. Id rather watch those in confort than sitting in front of my computer.

Just use growisofs. If you already have the ISO, it should be a one line command. Doesn't get any easier than that.

You guys that want to get on Cinemageddon should just keep trying. Registration is still open apparently but you have to wait for them to purge old accounts or some shit like that. Anyhow, just keep trying and you will get it.

Nice. I see right now that there is 21000/21000 members so that must be the cap. I think old unused and banned accounts are purged every two hours and that makes room for new users. 21000 seems like a lot of people to me.


Edit: Now don't go blowing your ratio dude. :P You should DL the featured torrents or atleast one or two of them since they have a 50% bonus they help your ratio a lot if you keep seeding them.

I picked up a couple of torrents that weren't featured...but I'll just sit on them until I get a good ratio. I belong to several trackers so I am pretty used to keeping a ratio on even the hardest of them. There is a lot of cool stuff though. I've been looking for "How To Get Ahead In Advertising" for a long time. Very cool site. Thanks for the heads up.
