MAME Intro Movies 106 *out now

Right- but if I have 1/2 the packs already downloaded- does that mean I need to RE-download them all again? I don't see what the problem is with just putting them up on ---No torrents please - thanks!--- like they did with the first 1/2 of the packs...
Circo:
when you download the new torrent it resumes, the only issue was using torrentzip to gety everyone on the same page, once that was done you just stop the old torrent get the new one and it gets the missing files, leaving all the old ones in tact. It is actually very easy and stops the problem of trying to seed 27 torrents.

so- ok- can you walk me through it then? I got confused the first time and gave up on it.
Thanks

You will need to have winrar and torrentzip. The version of torrent zip I got was the win version. I unzipped the exe file into c:\documents and settings\[username]\Send To\ folder
You need to go into each of the avi folders, select all the avi files (ctrlr-A selects all files, then hold the ctrlr button and click on the txt file to unselect it)
Right click on the selected files and choose Add to Archive... (under winrar)
Compression method can stay as Normal
Select .ZIP format in the General Tab
I also selected delete files after archiving as I already had a copy of them elsewhere
Select Put each file to seperate archive in the Files Tab
Click OK
This will then produce individual zip files for each avi. Do this for each folder but remember not to zip the txt file as it's not required.
Once this is all done, right click on the main folder which has MAME098 #-0 and MAME098 A as subfolders
Select Send To - trrntzip.exe (or if you called it different)
This will then do a thorough check and rezip of all the files
and now your set will be exactly the same as mine.
Any problems just post here - remember you won't have to redownload anything if you have kept the original structure and followed the instructions above

Just re-read that and do it or do what I did and DL the whole thing again. Youll get around 200Kb/s per second if you have broadband. Currently 16 seeders and 1 leacher Then just let it upload after its done dl'ing to get your ratio closer to normal.
Now when the torrent gets updated again on [romsite name redacted] all you do is stop seeding the old torrent. DL the new torrent, make sure your bittorrent client checks the new one against the old and your DL will start at where ever the old one left off at.
Hope this helps. on the .102 update I was DL'ing at 500Kb/s so its worth some of the hassle.

I am having major problems with ---No torrents please - thanks!--- at the moment. I tried all different torrents from that site and continually got unable to connect to tracker errors. Other trackers like [romsite name redacted] I don't have a problem. If someone wants to put them up on [romsite name redacted] then I'm fine with that as long as you try to use the same descriptions as the other releases.
But [romsite name redacted] has 15 seeders waiting to dish out the bandwidth to anyone who wants it.
