Thorne S01E01-E05 480p HDTV H264

Click on "Files" tab (lower part of program-window) - right-click on file you
don't need - choose "Don't download". (uTorrent would show "Skipped").
Other torrent-programs offer very similar step.

*** You would seed JUST the things you choose to download. ***
*** SHARE with others - keep your upload speed at 80% of your max ***
*** during the download. DO NOT force me to block and ban selfish ***
*** and greedy downloaders - as happened March - May 2010. ***

*** 2-pass encoding for PC, PS3 or Xbox . ***
*** Video is H264; audio is AAC LC and container is MP4. ***

Requests (or re-seed requests) should be posted in [COMMENTS] section of newest torrents.
"Out of schedule" shows or pilot-episodes may get uploaded randomly, if circumstances allow (i.e. free slots open up).

Do NOT bother requesting easily available titles. If I haven't encoded something new and current - I have my reasons for that.

Do NOT request movies which have IMDB score lower than 4.4.

Do NOT request inclusion of TV shows in my schedule; that's my call. The removal of some show depends on many factors, however, be sure that shows would be dropped if I spot lack of interest, hungry hard-fisting crowd or too high a number of Hit and Runs. These decisions are my own.

NOTE: [lepton] family = frame-size 368/416x-2 (AR) pixels,
16:9 or 2.35:1 aspect ratio
ONLY for PC/PS3/Xbox/standalone mp4 capable players.
NOT Handhelds/iPod/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file, however,
some portables accept these format (TIP: upgrade firmware).
WATCH from 6-8 ft. distance at low-res settings of display.
272p = frame-size 480x272 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio, playable on all kinds
of MP4 capable devices/players/playback systems
320p = frame-size 576x320 pixels, 16:9 aspect ratio, or 576x240 for 2.35:1
(movies/theatrical AR)middle-format, playback
ONLY on PC/PS3/Xbox/standalone mp4 capable players.
NOT Handhelds/iPod/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file, however,
some portables accept these format (TIP: upgrade firmware).
352p = frame-size 624x352(272) pixels, 16:9(2.35:1) aspect ratio,
playback ONLY on PC/PS3/Xbox/standalone mp4 capable players.
NOT Handhelds/iPod/QuickTime/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file.

720p = frame-size 1280x720 pixels for 16:9 aspect ratio (TV) or 1280x528-544
for 2.35:1 (movies/theatrical AR), hardware intensive
NOT Handhelds/iPod/QuickTime/PSP/Zune/clones compatible file.
NAMING RULE: name.source.year/season/episode.frame-format.encoding-type

NOTE 2: 352p and 480p encodes use new tool-chain and new encoding type.
320p, 360p should be considered obsolete.
272p would remain because of compatibility with portables, but soon
would be abandoned.
Practically, ALL "wide-targets formats" would be abandoned, and
only PC-PS3-Xbox formats would be encoded.
I would like to keep PS3/Xbox/standalones compatibility - therefore,
I need feedback from users of PS3/Xbox and different standalone
MP4 capable players.


Most problems people have are with frame-sizes 1280x720 (720p). I recommend
and have used one system for years - CoreAVC for H264
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5910023/
("Deblocking" set to "Standard") and part of DivX7-8 for AAC -
AAC DirectShow filter.

Both are proved perfect, fastest and provide seamless playback up to 1080p
on new generation of computers. Newer NVIDIA graphic cards processors (GPU)
decode H264 using dedicated subroutines directly served from CoreAVC
(I have an ATI card, just in case you were wondering).

New DivX8 is maybe 18% slower than Core AVC and very common,
and in order to use DivX8 H264 and AAC DS filters outside DivX7 or 8 player
(as in Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic), Haali spliter
must be installed. Beware, however, that video quality could be very much
degraded on encodings where extremely low bit-rates have been used.
TIP: Switch back and forth between Core AVC and DivX H264 DS filters by marking
and un-marking Core AVC "Preferred decoder" setting.

Problems one can have may come from either one of the following
and-or a combination of these: the playback system itself, a
malfunctioning device or lack of knowledge.

For instance, any so called "jerky" playback of "system-heavy" 720p comes
from insufficient CPU and graphic engine power or simply - overloaded
computer. Use of ddshow filters and "codecs" is suicidal. This is not
Russian 720p Matroska format ("official" 720p) and completely different
setup is required (extremely high bit-rates of .mkv 720p to some extent
"hide" bad encoding style). In low bit-rate H264, such as mine,
those errors and bad technique cannot be hidden and therefore are avoided as
much as possible.

Any "blurriness" of video comes from less-than-recommended media player.
VLC and a few other players are the most versatile and, generally speaking,
good - but quality is 10-20% lower.
Any "blockiness" comes from "system-too-slow" situation, when
decoding engine of ones device become over-capacitated and cannot
process all frames as it supposed to.
On "I have no video" and "I have no sound" I don't waste my time as this
is generally a complete lack of knowledge and/or understanding.
RTFM is the best response I can give.

MP4 is absolutely ISO 14496-1 compliant. There are no B-frames, no CABAC
entropy in 272p and 360p, no strange filtering and no AV weirdness of
any kind.

Recommended resolution for computers is 1024x768 (no matter frame-size).
If you watch on HighDef TV or new HighRes monitor - take a proper watching
distance - 6 to 8 ft. (It's a must then, I KNOW how ugly it looks with nose
in front of screen).
PS3 + HDMI cable + newer TV have been reported as best combination.
I am very proud on sound quality and hence I recommend use of stereo system
and proper loudspeakers (connect Line Out of Soundcard or standalones
with Line In of any Stereo rack).

------------------

Please be aware that the download manager called Flashget, Transmission under v1.9, Xtorrent (any), generally malfunctioning Miro/libtorrent, uTorrent lower than 1.8.3, Azureus/Vuze under v4, KTorrent, BitLord and ANY other "wrong" or hacked/patched/"tweaked"/"with-wrong-settings" torrent-program - can and WILL get you blocked by me.

I will not be re enabling people if they have been using ANY of the above applications; there is NO discussion on this. Please treat this as the ONLY warning you will get about it!

If you have used it, do yourself a favour and get a NEW and proper torrent program.
In light of recent events, I have no intention to discuss or listen to someone's comments/complaints such as Oh, but I am used to it. or I have this-or-that settings, this is good program for torrents.

It might be true for you, but that's not what I see day after day.
Recommended torrent applications are: BitTornado and new uTorrent/BitTorrent!!!

Also, stay AWAY from newly upped torrents, still in the phase of initial-seeding IF you have upload speed below 50kB/s and CANNOT or WILL NOT set UL/DL speeds at 1:1.
Wait until at LEAST five (5) stable seeds are present.
If you have a problem with my initial-seeding rule then go elsewhere to source your files.

You have been warned, my torrents therefore my rules. There are a million other sources to go to if you do not like them.

-------------------------
NEW RULE: Show that gets "-" (negative) rating is on the way out.
Let me be clear: 480p is BETTER than XviD - but LESS than half in size.
480p has BIGGER frame-size ("picture" size) than 272p MORE THAN TWICE
(2.16 times) - but file-size is bigger just by silly 10% (15 MB approx.).
Also, 480p has by ONE THIRD BIGGER frame-size than XviD.
So - new rule: any complaints came from your head only.
IF you are frustrated with your life or mentally incapacitated -
vent someplace else out. My files are perfect - in given category.
IF you do not think so - here's the deal: Turn around and go away. Forever.
SUB-RULE: Normal people! Do not let be overrunned by idiots! Not again-
Do not allow to be over-voiced. Again.
IF you like my encodings, you CAN say so - by Rating and by Thanking.

And yes - it is matter of vanity. That's me. Live with that.
