Ron Paul DVD - 7-6-2007 Hot off the press - The DVD to WIN the straw poll!!

[Benincasa]

The DVD that we have been talking about that will be distributed to Iowa voters is hot off the press and I just put it on several torrent sites. This DVD is top quality and is highly recommended. The DVDs purpose is to entice Iowa voters to make the trip to the straw poll and vote for Ron Paul. Video is the best medium because Dr. Paul is SO powerful on video. There are currently 13,000+ DVDs in production, many more than the number of votes that won Bush the straw poll in 1999. Please copy, share, and SEED as much as you can. I want this torrent to spread like wildfire, like Ron Paul's message. Currently this file is in ISO form, I will convert it to other forms and seed those when I get time. I did not make this video, but it is copyright free, and it is encouraged that you distribute it as much as possible. Here are the links to the torrents:

From mininova: http://www.mininova.org/tor/782311
From demonoid: http://www.demonoid.com/files/details/1238659/?rel=1183783703 (members only)

Either of the above will work! Please seed and leave comments! Thanks

PS: Gigaplex was the driving force behind this DVD and he deserves all the credit. The DVD was excellent, I just finished watching it, and would like to congratulate Gigaplex on his success. I am just uploading it (as a copyright free DVD) so that it can get to everyone quickly (the straw poll is mere weeks away)

utorrent said there are (0)5 peers (whatever that means..) I am seeding right now, but I don't see any activity. I don't know all that much about torrents, but maybe it takes some time for it to get up and running (I just added them 5min ago)? I'll leave my computer on tonight and see what progress it makes.

EDIT: The demonoid site says they just got back online so you may need to restart your bittorrent client.

 

[Benincasa]

I restarted it and now its working!! Nine peers already

 

[thomaspaine23]

found a peer but it has 0% of the file

benin i'm on, d/ling now heh!

 

[Benincasa]

Well, I'm uploading to someone. Currently at 70 Kb/s

It would have been nice for you to give some credit to Gigaplex, who has spent weeks putting this thing together. You come off like you have some ownership of this thing.

How can us 'normal' folk see this video who know NOTHING of bit-torrents and all of that?

Duly noted, I will edit my uploads and post.

PS: I am going to add a few sentences acknowledging him. If he has anything specific he would like to add, or if he wants to change what I said on the posts, have him PM me and I will make his changes. This isnt about ownership, this is about spreading the word of Dr. Paul! My apologizes if I came off any other way.

PPS: I updated the Demonoid post to thank Gigaplex, but couldnt change the mininova one. I will be converting this to avi soon for a new upload, and I will credit him again there.

Can we get these Ron Paul DVD's uploaded to video.google.com as well

Cheers

 

[Benincasa]

People from all over the world are downloading this (Germany, Canada, Israel, to name a few). This has exploded since I've uploaded it. I am sure it will find its way to youtube et. al, we just need to give it time. If necessary, I will do it.

Ok, how do those of us who have no idea what a torrent file is download this dvd?
Step by step instructions might be REALLY helpful at this time! Thanks to all who had a hand in this!

 

[Benincasa]

Its a little complicated, but I will outline it before I have to go to bed:

1. Download and install: http://www.utorrent.com/download.php
2. Go to: http://www.mininova.org/tor/782311
3. Click 'download this torrent' and open it with utorrent
4. Wait a long time (this will improve the more people that download it)
5. Convert the newly downloaded ISO file to a DVD with: http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-create-multi-os-cd-4.htm

If you arent too hot with computers, I would reccomend waiting until this comes out in a more accessible format. It should happen soon.

DIY campaign DVD

What we need is not only the DVD for regular players, but also computer enabled.
I.E. a full DIY campaign kit, so people can pop it into their computer and
print pre-made flyers, have useful URL's (ronpaulforums.com etc)

possibly some tools as well :

A torrent program, a chat program, Adobe reader perhaps?

step by step instructions on the use of each. It would be handy for the less computer literate. We could even get updated ISO's with new material
and a website for people to search for it.

It would be great for people burn DVD's and hand out their own copies. Viral is the way to go IMO.

The forumer from Sweden needs to seed this.......... he/she was pumpin out the packets w/ the last dvd.

 

[krott5333]

yeah it would be nice to have on google video. Google video allows full movie-length videos, unlike youtube.

I'll download the torrent when I get home and check it out. I'll probably also pick up a 100 pack of dvd-rs at walmart and start handing them out!

awesome, im excited.
