yeah.. I'm still seeding you - but it's really slow - for some reason I don't get bilateral connections on this torrent... so it only gets up to about 90k/sec (and most of the time it's been at like 20k/sec) _________________

I'm sure you know already as you're the master of the DVD thread but you know you can split up that DVD9 into two DVD5's right? I hate losing quality so I'd rather just use an extra disc

I'm not that anal about picture quality to bother with spanning the DVD over two discs... I've used DVDShrink on a number of DVD9s and haven't seen any noticeable degradation in video quality...
Besides, I could just buy some dual-layer discs and not worry about spanning at all.
You said it I likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference in a shrinked version either. However just the idea of degradation is enough for me to split it
Here's to dual-layer discs! If you've noticed over at asiandvdclub that many golden torrents seem to be dvd9 versions... now I've never looked into dual-layer prices but the act of keeping my ratio up is more expensive/creates more work

Then it would put you in the category of being anal.

Yeah, I've never tried any dual-layer discs either, since I've read mostly negative reviews... As far as keeping you ratio up, I just leave my downloading PC on all the time...

Usually those DVD9 discs are full of (IMO) junk, useless interviews and trailers, dub streams, sometimes bloated menus (like Flashpoint's 1.5gb menu o_O) or unsubbed making offs/interviews. I strip those.
I always re-encode the dvd9's that I get with DVD-RBPRO+HC: the results are amazing.
and if you're into newsgroups, you will more than likely have downloaded my dvd's
