I doubt it, it's a bit long/ big.
Have you not got l'Etranger?

[slackline]

Arrrgghh!!.... download or disc, download or disc?

Both! download for the hi-res; Disc for posterity.

Exactly what I did with L'Etranger.

natch but only on download...
having both on the same disc would be nice...
but hey ho

[GCW]

I'd suggest the HD download is likely to be better quality than a DVD can be.
But it's nice to have packaging for posterity.

exactly...
that's why I still have cd/vinyl collection whilst the kids all have downloads...

this may be a stupid question...how do you get your name down for a dvd, i looked on the site, but the products page seems to be password protected?

You don't, reading the last blog entry (linked above on the DVD cover I posted) pre-orders will be available when Keith has the first box of DVDs from the manufacturers.

[magpie]

And then someone (Slackers, I am looking at you ) will bump the thread so I know to put my name down because I cannot work the download thing at all. 

[Clart]

That's great that the option to download exists, and at higher quality too. More money to the film maker with a download which is why it seems like madness that you get less content if download Progress rather than buy the DVD.

Seminal.

[Adam Lincoln]

Cup of tea is made, download you bugger! 

[GCW]

3 hours left.....

Off to the Cliff now, so it should be sitting on my desktop when I return 

[neil h]

i got very early this morning 

[slackline]

  Card abused, waiting for download link downloading now (DVD to follow in the post  ).

[magpie]

You're all big show-offs with your downloads.  I am awaiting my DVD in the post since I can never manage to download anything successfully.   

[slackline]

I think everyone should hold off on their downloads until mine, Adam's and GCW's have finished as you're using up the bandwidth at the host site and my Kb/s have dropped from an initial of ~180Kb/s to ~140Kb/s.  Net effect its going to take more than the initial 3hrs it indicated it would to download 

(I guess the only consolation is that I'm at work and won't actually be able to watch it till this evening  )

[Adam Lincoln]

I think everyone should hold off on their downloads until Adam's has finished.

  

[nik at work]

Mines showing a quite healthy 340-ish. Maybe you should move over to a Linux system like me Slackers instead of being Bill Gates bitch

[iain]

I had 350Kb/s till you lot got in on the act.  

And those of us who are at work and can't watch it till they get home should bu**er off downloading until this afternoon. It's been stuck at 2.5 hours to go for the last 1.5 hours.

I'm studying at home and I want some lunchtime psyche 

Can't wait

  What was I thinking*!!  Could just be a shit connection/route between home and the hosts.  I guess I could have tried the CLI with wget to see if things were faster that way, but I doubt it would have made much difference.

BTW Nik, if you're doing anything at the CLI and want to do it repeatedly/recursively, check out the xargs command, its amazingly useful.

I'm at work, but downloading at home 

* Work are actually quite content for me to have Linux on my computer here, would never have happened  ath the ludite-ish NHS

[erm, sam]

Blam. I got DVD and DL. Can't have too much of a good thing don't they say.... WOn't be dling for a while though, so don't panic with the bandwidth..

[nik at work]

Alright you win, I'm a Linux lightweight. I have not the slightest idea what CLI is. My best guess would be Command Line Interface?
As for Xargs, I think they were in Dan Dare??

Down to the low 200's now, bum.

[cofe]

Retard question: I guess I can't order the DVD+download at work cos I need to be at home to download it, right?

[nik at work]

You'll get an email with a link to the downnload so just have that sent to your email at home and you'll be reet. Make sense?

[slackline]

Not a comp, but spot on, doing stuff in terminals, like 'sudo apt-get update'

Found it yesterday when I wanted to sort out some permissions on files/directories recursively.  Wanted to set all files to be read-writeable by owner and user and read for other and have some 20000 files to apply to (all pictures from the past three years organised into YYYY/MM/DD directories).  Pain in the arse to go into each, but from the command line (whilst in the directory that contains all the YYYY dirs) it was as simple as...

Code: [Select]

$ find . -type f print0 | xargs -0 chmod 0644

..or similarly to compress every file within a directory tree (sub-directories)

Code: [Select]

$ find -type f print0 | xargs -0 bzip2

Can't believe its taken me eight years to learn this!!!  Anyway    (can't help myself!!)

Down to the low 200's now, bum.
