Thumb Candy ? Can You Help?

Hi folks,

Is there anyone out there who has downloaded the Thumb Candy mpg file (the one that is on fogartylee?s site)? If so, would you be willing to burn it onto a CD and send it to me? I would gladly pay for the CD, postage and your time (cheque, cash or paypal).

I have been after it for a while and Bit Torrents do not seem to like me (see previous thread):

http://www.worldofspectrum.org/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=9818&forum=4&6

In the last couple of weeks I have only managed to download 20.1 MB of the 400 odd MB file using Azureus. I do have broadband but I am not able to leave my PC connected for long periods. When I did manage to download some of the file I was only getting a rate of 3.5 KB/sec! It is doing my head in!

I remember when it was on TV. I set the video to tape it, but the tape ran out with 15 minutes to go. :mad:

Any help you fine people would be greatly appreciated. Please mail me if you are willing.

Cheers,
mrmessy

    when you restart your Azureus, doesn't the file continue downloading? I've downloaded films at the same speed. It takes a while, but they do get there.

    Sorry about the slow speeds..

    Dont apologise for the speed.

    What MrMessy forgot to told you was that he was downloading 30 porn films at the same time hence the slow speed !

    Why do you think hes called Mr Messy ! ;)

    Oh, har har!

    Where is this porn, by the way?

    Azureus does try to resume when I restart it, but after 'checking' it usually displays a download error message and a red thingie on the left (oo er missus).

    Not sure, ask Mel, he has 500000 bookmarks with porn links i've heard.

    He finally watched all of those films but now has to walk with a stick and a guide dog. See it is true you go blind

    Do you then delete it, or leave it to see what happens?

    What happened to the rest of the porn bookmarks?
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.

    I leave it and try again later. It's still there on 20.1 mb (ish). But I must admit, I have not tried to resume in the last few days. I sort of gave up...

    I've just started using Bit Torrent myself - and got really poor download speeds to begin with - till I did the 'port test' thing that's on their site.

    Downloads are now anything up to 40 Kbps which is much better - maybe that may help you?

    Not with my torrents it won't :) My NTL is restricted to 300k upload. Spread that over the 15-20 uploads at any one time & your knackered. Plus, if I ever want to use the internet, I have to lower the upload speed.
