I'm using the verbatim DL, Smiff said these are the best for the job

I have tried using IMGBurn and something else I think it might be DVDburn but not sure as I'm on a different machine at the moment

Feel free to PM me any advice unless your all out of ideas
Can't be sure because I haven't got a clue (clearly) but I've just been reading around about burning 360 games and apparantly when you use IMGburn it doesn't know where to put the layer break in the DVD and just uses the whole DVD, leaving a lot of empty space on the DVD, making it unreadable. Going by the gospel of Smiff again, I suppose that could be what he meant when he said CloneCD does exactly what is needed, as that puts the layer break in the right place for you.

Just a thought.

Sure. Will do my best to have one free for you by then. They usually purge like 500 or more accounts daily though so it shouldn't be that hard to get one. But as said, drop me a pm on here when you're ready.

They give out one invite when you reach 1.05 and 25 gb uploaded or something like that. After that they issue 2 invites per 20 days or so (while previous said details are maintained), as long as your a member. My forthcoming invite is already taken. Check them out on a daily basis and if you still dont get any then contact me within 20 days

Just a thought.

in IMGburn go to TOOLS > SETTINGS and click the WRITE tab, set the layer break to 1913760 (think that's the correct lb for 360 iso's?)

Fuck torrents right off. Took me 5 days to get Assassin's Creed using a torrent and now I've just got Mass Effect off Rapidshare in about 2 hours. Cost me £5 for a month, but for £1.25 a week I'd much prefer Rapidshare.

You're clearly using the wrong torrent sites.

Yeah that's probably true. Still, I doubt I'd get the 580kbps I'm getting on Rapidshare.

You can get faster, depending on the site. It's pointless now considering most sites aren't accepting new users but even on my shitty connection I can get up to 400k download speed.

you can only seed out what your isp limits you to, no ther way.
 i usually set my global upload speeds to around 20, and then after 11pm, set to max (just under 100)

Lots of seeds or use a private site. It only seems to be good at uni now, my home connection is going to shit for some reason.

Also, make sure you have enough upload bandwidth. That way it can 'report back' to the tracker more often and get more data.

Started using scenehd.org for HDDVD and Bluray stuff. Good speeds and there are lots of free leeches for the ratio!

TvTorrents is good too... building up enough credit to get Miami Vice season 2. Got the entire 7 searies of West Wing off there too!

Anybody have a TheBox invite going spare? Could really do with one.

Will give any invites I get to RAWK members, and I used to only send Demonoid ones to RAWKites.

I'll even pay!

Your third on my list. Driyo and Garstonite were first but I think I should get 3 invites in 2 weeks time. Just add me on here and remind me when it comes to it.

Have ya got any invites for scenehd? I used to be a member, but they pruned my account as i hadn't logged in for ages. I can swap a bit-HDTV invite.

Just had a quick look through and there seems to be a 10k user limit - and no invite system I can see... will certainly pass one if if they arise.

The chop old people off all the time though so just try now and again. Just got Superbad is on Free Leech and just got 4gb in 1hr 30 :)

bit-HDTV any good? I'm waiting for an external HD to arrive so pretty tied up at the mo.
