station Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 ght now we have one guy posting from a verizon fios, one guy posting from charter and me. I am getting a blazing 5kb/s down and am sitting at 17.3%. At this rate I will have this download completed in 3 weeks, bummer.... If you have the bandwidth seed at an unlimited rate, that would be a zero "0" setting. This is what I do. My upload is at 79 kb/s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
station Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Well, here is the deal. I was tired of waiting. I just purchased a 40 gb HDD from Garret via this site and PayPal. It has the Z3 Image and all of the updates for it. If he says it is ok, I will rip the content from it and post it on Rapid Share. Only if he says it is ok. These guys put alot of work into these HDDs. So if that is ok with him I will move forward. My HDD should be here Wed or Thurs. One benifit of this would be that all of the updates are there, meaning that you would not have to mess with updating the unit. However, It would be a different file than the torrent most of you are downloading now though. But I would not make the files into a torrent anyway. Much too much trouble.

garrettoomey Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 I don't have any issues with ripping my image and posting for others to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garrettoomey Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I have started to DL the original torrent files, since I do not have that version anymore. I will help seed it for awhile as well. I currently show that all parts are available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toro34 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Garrett, would you mind informin me of what i will need to update on my hdd once i have this image? Im speaking of Gracenotes and the XM logos which I know of, but is there anything else i need? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

station Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Garrett, I just received the HDD. I am going to move forward in posting this image on Rapid Share for a faster download to the users here. One issue though.The image is different from the torrent. 1. this is the complete z3 image with all of your updates. 2. having said that, should I just zip the file and post it. that way people could just unzip it to their own HDDs or is there a process of creating an uploadable file that the HDD will recognize?

Toro34 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 i finished the z3 download last night as well. I have been seeding it and will continue to seed for a week or two. I will throw the updates on there and upload to rapidshare if no one else can get their copy up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Use Acronis to create a backup. Then anyone can use Acronis to restore. It will make a complete image of the whole drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
