Torrent: http://www.box.net/shared/x0zx2ay1yn

If it shows no seeds, my computer is turned off.

Where you get this file? It's is the previous file?:

Or you find somewhere else?

#3 Sun, 5 Apr 2009 - 02:22 68kMLA

Dog Cow sent me his copy.

#4 Sun, 5 Apr 2009 - 10:37 68kMLA

Thanks macgeek and Dog Cow.

Downloading right now, and I'll keep seeding some time afterwards as well!

#5 Sun, 5 Apr 2009 - 18:28 68kMLA

This is the one I downloaded from apple.com in December of 2008, just so you guys know the source.

It may still be on apple.com (it probably is), but I cannot remember how to access it. It's buried!

It is. An "anonymous" source sent me a link.

Sorry for not seeding...

Dog Cow: if you still have that zip on your machine, could you seed using it? My neighbors WiFi is down, and i am forced to use dial-up. :'(

#8 Mon, 6 Apr 2009 - 16:22 68kMLA

Stuck at 1.2%… :'(

And through dial-up, I can understand macgeek doesn't want to seed too much!

I'd be more than happy to seed, though!

I don't participate in that sort of thing.

#10 Mon, 6 Apr 2009 - 21:32 68kMLA

I can host it. It would be up all the time, but I'm not sure how the speeds would be.

#11 Tue, 7 Apr 2009 - 06:50 68kMLA

I've stuck my server on it, unlimited seed. I have 3-5 Mbps upload, so once I get it all, I'll let it seed for a good long time. (I've got two other 'long term' seeds going as well.)

However, just to verify, this is a file that came from a 'legal to share' source, correct?

#12 Tue, 7 Apr 2009 - 08:09 68kMLA

Downloading now. Will stay seeding.

#13 Tue, 7 Apr 2009 - 19:17 68kMLA

No, not according to Apple's License Agreement. That's probably one of the reasons why the original topic discussing this was removed.

#14 Wed, 8 Apr 2009 - 06:57 68kMLA

Ah. If it is just the REdistribution that is against the license, but the original software was "freely available" from Apple and it is no longer available direct from them, then I'll risk it under "abandonware" rationalization.

So, someone that has the .zip file that is in this torrent... What exactly is in the zip file, and do you have an MD5 hash for it?

Turns out I had a copy of _ss_691-2491-B.dmg already (D-OH! Guess it helps if I look at my disc images once in a while,) so I need to know if I can just zip that, rename it, and throw it in my share folder to have my torrent client check it and bump me to "100%" so I can seed.

Otherwise, I may just start up a new torrent for it, since I can leave my server on 24/7 seeding.

#15 Wed, 8 Apr 2009 - 19:32 68kMLA

i sent it to someone, so they can seed. They are still working on decompressing it, though...

#16 Wed, 8 Apr 2009 - 20:58 68kMLA

Sounds like something useful, but I have no idea how to use/seed that torrent stuff. Can someone explain what I need to do?

Download a program like LimeWire or BitTorrent, then simply open the torrent file with it.

Once I download it, I'll post a direct HTTP download link (assuming that it's legal. But then again, torrenting isn't exactly legal either.)

My ISP blocks port 80, and I already have Apache set up on an alternate port on a server. I assume that Apache can serve torrents...?

Where did you get that idea from? There is nothing wrong or illegal with torrenting, at the end of the day all you are doing is exchanging IP packets...., its the specific content that is at issue.

No one seams to be seeding. Im only on 11.91%

The "someone" is actually me, no need to be too much anonymous around here!

Sorry guys, but I'm still stuck with decompressing macgeek's multipart archive. I'm on OS X, and had no luck with StuffitExpander, OS X's built-in zip utility, 7zX and EZ 7z… All say the archive is corrupted. Any suggestion of a magical utility?

In french, "pantoufle" is a slipper. I can't remember why I chose this pseudo in the first place, but it was a long, long time ago. Bye the way SP are my initials.

#27 Thu, 9 Apr 2009 - 21:37 68kMLA

I don't think the whole thing wil be seeded by the end of the day... But no worries, it'l be seeded eventually!

#28 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 - 07:45 68kMLA

MacGeek, are you the only one with 100%?

#29 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 - 16:39 68kMLA

I'm the one who gave the file to him, so I have 100% of it.

#30 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 - 21:37 68kMLA

Would be good if you were seeding Dog Cow. Pleaseeeee.

#31 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 - 21:49 68kMLA

I don't mess around with that torrent garbage.

Cheers Dog Cow. I've grabbed that and am seeding it now.

I think, I've downloaded in Windows. But in WinRar, it's corrupted.

#34 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 - 06:11 68kMLA

I downloaded it on my windows box and WinZip extracted the .dmg no problem. I havent done anything with the .dmg yet however, as I dont have a OS X box, but thats a problem for next week (unless google tells me I can use a .dmg on a 68k Mac running 7.5.3).

#35 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 - 15:39 68kMLA

I've finished download the file. But now, where is the software that it's supports converting to .iso?

#36 Sat, 11 Apr 2009 - 18:59 68kMLA

/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app

Menu Bar >> Image >> Convert >> CD/DVD Master Image

This is great! this should allow me to salvage computers from 3 decades. Unzipped and mounted fine in Leopard.

You're a little late to the party, aren't you? I've already logged 10 GB of bandwidth.

#42 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 - 04:25 68kMLA

Whoopty.

I've downloaded over 10GB today.

Torrents are slow.

#43 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 - 08:46 68kMLA

For the last two of you still connected to the torrent, it seems I'm the last one left seeding. Why don't people seed for longer? That's the whole point.

#44 Tue, 14 Apr 2009 - 15:32 68kMLA

Torrents are slow.

That's why I don't waste my time with them. :

#45 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 - 14:55 68kMLA

I need to open the .dmg file in Windows, but it's says corrupted. The UDIF is not encrypted because I need to mount or convert to .iso the .dmg in Windows. In dmg2img or DMGExtractor it's says bad DMG chunk or corrupted DMG file.

#46 Tue, 12 May 2009 - 04:31 68kMLA

Hello. The moderator (or Administrator) cannot tolerated the torrents now. I am still yellow. Delete the torrent link and then, Lock this topic.

#47 Tue, 12 May 2009 - 20:42 68kMLA

OK... just a quick note: the dmg file doesn't like to open in any of the PC converters. I may upload the .iso version somewhere and post a link to that at some point, if the mods don't mind.

Anyone know of a site where I can upload 650mb files?

#48 Wed, 5 Aug 2009 - 06:24 68kMLA

Bumpitty bump.

#49 Wed, 5 Aug 2009 - 06:32 68kMLA

I think after 3 months, if nobody's replied, thats perhaps because there are none.

(that are available for free, anyway)

#50 Wed, 5 Aug 2009 - 06:35 68kMLA

I'm just bumping this so people will see the link to download it.

#51 Thu, 6 Aug 2009 - 20:06 68kMLA

...Because it hasn't been on my site for quite awhile. :-/

#52 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 - 00:59 68kMLA

Has anyone been able to get this thing to boot? :-/

#53 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 - 02:42 68kMLA

Yep, it works fine for me. I burned the dmg in Disk Utility and booted it on my 5400. I also converted the dmg to iso with dmg2img and booted SheepShaver off it. dmg2iso won't convert it, but dmg2img will.

Hmmm....I downloaded This one and modified it about 20 times, and still no boot. I didn't try the one that macgeek is torrenting - every time I try to download it, there's no connection.

#55 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 - 04:07 68kMLA

That one isn't a straight CD copy. You might not be able to get it bootable.

Ok. this is extrodinarily odd. I went into the emulator and copied/pasted everything from the CD to a 700mb HFV file and it actually copied with no read errors reported in macos. the CD did get hung up half way in a little bit, but it actually copied without giving an error. while the ISO i copied gave all kinds of errors.
Soo, because of this, i just made it into a bootable HFV file as if it were the CD, so you can just burn a CD from the HFV file or however you do it. im uploading the 700mb HFV to my FTP server in england, and i will send you a link to grab it.

The dmg is a proper bootable image from Apple. If you can't get the torrent I could try and send you the copy I have.

#56 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 - 19:25 68kMLA

I hopped on the torrent last night. I will try to seed as much as I can but the connection is slow so no miracles.

#57 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 - 20:28 68kMLA

Sorry to be noobish here, but what does this CD contain? I am at 96% download! Sounds like some good stuff though.

#58 Sun, 9 Aug 2009 - 23:27 68kMLA

Pretty much every OS prior to 8.5, and then some.

#59 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 - 07:18 68kMLA

If anyone wants, i could upload a converted iso of it to the 'net.

#60 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 - 03:09 68kMLA

Anyone knows how I can burn an HVF cd image? I am using Linux. I do have the option to use a Mac with OS X at school. Would a mac be able to burn HVF cd image? Thanks.

#61 Wed, 12 Aug 2009 - 04:19 68kMLA

I've burned HFV images (like those used with emus like SheepShaver) in the past just like any regular iso. So you can use whatever tool you normally use to burn isos.

They read fine in my macs but I haven't tried any bootable ones.
