[ANN] RubyConf 2004 sessions available (audio/mp3)

[Richard Kilmer]

All,

We have made the .mp3 files (64kbs...downsampled from 192kbs) available of
the sessions of the 2004 Ruby Conference. I added mp3 tags on all the files
so they appear as an album (compilation) and the artist is the speaker.
They are available from the RubyForge BitTorrent site. They are all in a
single .zip file (rubyconf04.zip...364MB)...there are a total of 20 mp3
files in the .zip:

Friday:
01-Welcome.mp3
02-RubyTraining.mp3
03-TestingWithRuby.mp3
04-Ruwiki.mp3
05-TychoPIM.mp3
06-HackingRuby.mp3
07-Alph.mp3

Saturday:

09-rubydoc.org.mp3
10-RubyOnRails.mp3
11-RailsDemo.mp3
12-RubyGems.mp3

17-Copland.mp3
18-CodeGeneration.mp3

The torrent is:

http://bt.rubyforge.org/rubyconf04.zip.torrent

If someone wants to get these, unzip and host them via HTTP that's cool...we
just don't have the bandwidth If someone wants them in 192kbs format,
let me know via a direct email and we can work out how to get them to ya
(its 1.4GB that way though).

Best,

Rich

Well, let me be the first to say "thanks". Any plans to sell CDs/DVDs
to raise money for Ruby Central?

If you can figure out the licensing to do this, it would be an awesome
move. I'd love to be able to buy a copy.

Hey, I'm having fun with this BitTorrent thing for the first time.
It's only going to take another 16 hours (I'm 20% done). Don't spoil
the fun by offering a direct download! :>

well, once you start downloading via bittorrent you are even starting to
serving, so install bt on your server and go

Same here. Seems that you only need the right need to make folks use new
thechniques.

Wow. I'got it in about 3 hours...

A big "Thank you!" for making this available to all the speakers.
This is as good as the new "Hitchhiker Guide" series 'The Tertiary
Phase' on BBC/Radio4. :-D

Happy rubying

So the natural question is: what about the videos?

The videos are of _much_ lower quality (and incomplete), so don't get
your hopes up. I've got to do some editing before posting them, but
they'll be up soon enough.

I'm a fun spoiler by nature.

In approximately 3-4 hours from the time of this message (if all goes
well) you should be able to download the .zip file from:
http://phrogz.net/RubyLibs/rubyconf04.zip

Bandwidth probably won't be great, but if you're plagued by poor
BitTorrent performance, it may be a better choice.

Bandwidth probably won't be great

Downloaded in about 10mn at 356K/s, more than acceptable (compared to
the ridiculous 3K/s of that python Bittorrent thingy) Thank you very
much.

 

[Gennady Bystritsky]

Many thanks to Gavin for spoiling my fun (it took only 10 min. to
download) and to the folks who prepared the compilation (and to those
who actually spoke, of course). Now I have it on CD and will try to
compensate for not being able to come to the conference this year.

Oh well, you're doing the right thing...

Now that I've completed the download, is there anything I can do
BitTorrent-wise to contribute to others' downloads?

Thanks,
Gavin
