Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I should add that I have the vlc player...but the forums are telling me that doesn't necessarily matter with aheming.
I'm completely flummoxed...and I get that this is a stupid question...but I'm not finding any how-tos that are even remotely helpful.

Okay. Well. I found tomato...but in 1.5 hours, I've only received 7% of the file. Is that normal? I'm going to be so bummed if it takes a full day for something to download and then not have it work.
The speed depends on the size of the file and how many other folks are also ahemming the file. Sometimes it's fast. Sometimes it's slow.
2.2gb. About 5% per hour.
I should have set it to run overnight.
Lesson learned.
Beej, given that it's probably a low-demand download, it'll probably take a while, especially since seasons 2-4 are going to be pretty big. I wouldn't anticipate any problems with playing the files, though. I've almost never had any problems, especially using VLC.
For example--when I was aheming the Indiana Jones trilogy, it took about three and a half weeks. ::shrug:: Patience is a virtue, in the world of aheming.
Sigh.
Just now turned over 19%
Three and a half weeks. Seriously?
Ah well. I'd have bought the dvds if I could get them in region 1. Patience is, indeed a virtue.
Could be worse I suppose. Back in the day, I could not have been running multiple programs while doing this, so...it's all to the good.
Three and a half weeks. Seriously?
Only if it keeps at that particular speed
Boring update:
Running for 13 hours...it's at 28%
Lawdy. Time for bed.
