Textures Galore!

I'm grabbing it as well... getting constant speeds over 150kbs... <3 torrents (and my uni connection). If anybody would benefit from it, I'm willing to do a batch image conversion to jpeg and re-publish the torrent privately to this forum with an internal tracker. Don't know how much space it would save, probably alot. If anybody would benefit from that let me know.

I would! Definately!

[Jelmer]

it would be cool but be sure to get their permission first!

The images are 100% public domain as specified in the source thread, so I'm *pretty* sure it wouldn't be an issue. If it makes you nervous Jelmer I won't do it though :P

Although there may be an issue, the torrent speed dropped overnight and its hovering around 30kbs =( If it stays there, it'll be awhile before I can do it anyway. My guess is it'll just jump around randomly, so it could be done tomorrow or it could take a few days.

Keep in mind this *probably* won't get higher speeds on your end than the current torrent, it'll just be alot less to download as far as volume. I can provide up to 600kb/s sustained upload from my comp, but I'm pretty sure the University would come knocking on my door if I did that... I usually cap azureus at 60kbs up to be safe. If it can be utilized I'm willing to seed at ~150kbs at night and ~75 during the day. ANYWAY, we'll see.

lol 600! My max upload is 40! As i have said before i have very crap internet....

Here's some grunge maps... They were uploaded by the maker, description:
"Okay trough time I've made quite some photographs myself known as grunge maps. 4

What are they?

Grunge maps are pictures of things like rough surfaces, rocks, rust, walls etc etc which you can place over your image, and then select overlay to give your image a certain texture/color addition from the dirt file.

For example when your grunge map is one of solid concrete with one large crack in it, your picture will have a crack added.

An example can be found here:

Enjoy this very fine collection I made myself "

Download the attached rar file to your desktop, extract the .torrent, and open it with your preferred client. It seems to be well seeded.

Do you have 28.6 %? lol I think I'm uploading to you theres two with Azureus and one's IP seem to be a college it has letters and ends in .edu anyway I'm done what format should I convert to?

[veyron]

Haha yep thats me! Much appreciated sir

I found a free program that can do batch image conversion, check it out here.

You should be able to convert all the images to JPEG using that program, I'd go ahead and use 100% quality setting. The test I did said the size would go down between 40 and 60% for the whole bunch.

[socomsniperaj]

Ok I'm downloading that and NP oh and is there a way to open a completed torrent and seed using Azureus because my uTorrent won't seed fast at all or is there something I can change to speed up the uploading?

[veyron]

Umm, I straight up have no clue as to your first question. If you really wanted to speed up uploading for a particular torrent, you'd have to a) stop all other torrents you're seeding (you can resume them later) b) put upload caps of ~0-1kb/s on any torrents you're downloading. That gives ~100% of your upload bandwidth to seeding that file.
