thanks so much! works great

by the way, can anybody help me?
I loaded the full video and I tried to download it with iGetMovies (don't have qt pro at the moment) and after about a minute it said the file had been downloaded. once i tried to open it, though, an error message said "Couldn't open the file because it is not a file that Quicktime understands" uhhhh??? what does that mean and how can I fix it?.... :(

Is anyone actually seeding this? My download has died on 10MB.

Yup, might stopped at 10MB as well.. still waiting for the movie. People, please continue to seed the torrent for the rest of us!
 
Woo the torrent's working again, but just a minor question: DaleMox said earlier that his file was 400MB, whereas the one from the torrent is 330MB. Was DaleMox just rounding up, or is this file incomplete/lower quality? Not that it matters, as long as it works.. can't wait! :)
 
Just finished watching it. Some details were missed during the coverage but not many. I paid special attention to the HD DVD info in hopes I could get some information as to when Apple would include a burner in one of their computers. It will definately happen just wondering if it will happen in "the year of High Definition"?
 
Would some one who got it connect to the torrent again, please? There's like 40 people here trying to download it and no to seed it.

We're all stuck here at 17.1%

The 330MB version doesnt look any better in quality than the 186MB version floating around. I'd like to see Apple distribute a DVD quality version, and have it distro'd via BitTorrent.
 
The Apple server also seems to be under less load right now. It's worked for me now, where earlier it did not.

But yeah, it would be cool if more companies took advantage of bittorrent. It would save them a lot of bandwidth. In this case Apple could have an (actual) high quality video, and not have to worry about their servers getting overloaded. But other companies too, could really potentially gain customer satisfaction (faster downloads) and at the same time be saving money.

Sorry, yes I did round it up. That full file is 329.9MB (345,961,006 bytes).
And it is better quality than that 300k (186MB) version.

This feed freaking blows. I want to watch it so bad, but it simply will not get enough bandwidth to play. I hate it! I'm sure akamai could do better. Anyway, Its not downloadable untill you capture the whole thing (hard to do). BTW, macrumors sucks the bandwidth member as well.

The feed looked a lot better this morning than it did last night. 'Course I was watching it before the East Coast got to work, so it's probably back to crap-tastic now.

I'll be curious to see how the whole blu-ray-vs.-HD-DVD thing shakes out, but Apple seems like it's throwing its weight on blu-ray. Steve specifically mentioned future blu-ray capability, and Sony (which is on the blu-ray side) was there in person to talk about HD.

Here's an article discussing both formats.
 
I say boycott the stream, make it the lowest seen keynote ever to send a clear message to Jobs and his shenanigans of total control and that people will actually WATCH and tune in if it's live more. It was only done this way because of Jobs and his ego tripping mix in his pissy "wah wah wah" over the leaks. In other words, he was trying to punish his Mac faithful like a demented king. Scr#w him!

Umm... did you even try going to Apple.com or store.apple.com during the keynote? Both sites were crawling so slowly, you might as well have gone to lunch and come back, and the site would still be loading! Now imagine what would have happened if they tried to use their bandwidth (or 3rd party bandwidth) to stream the webcast. It just couldn't have been done.

If you don't believe me, read this...

We don't know for sure that was his intention. The Apple website/Akamai servers took quite a beating. I can only imagine the bandwidth nightmare, as tens of thousands of people try accessing the streaming keynote. Most of Apple's faithful will watch the entire keynote, so bandwidth is stretched to the limit.
 
I'm at work and I want to see the Keynote. I'm having some proxy/firewall/streaming issues, and there doesn't appaer to be a way to bypass the firewall. Is there any way to download the keynote, without download via bit torrent (and probably getting fired). I tried the link posted earlier but I am also getting the Bjorn page. Downloading this clip worked:

Thanks.
 
There are two versions of the Keynote floating around. A 186 MB version and a 330 MB version. They are both the same quality, the 330 MB version looks like a stretch of the 186 MB version. No difference in quality that I could see.
