fixxer Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Looks like our (mine) prays have been answered and someone is in the process of uploading 9a527 onto usenet: Not many files complete so far, but I can wait one night: Group Poster Date Size Comp Mac OS X 10.5 9a527 [1 of 132] "leopard_client_9a527.dmg.001" yEnc a.b.m.c User 08/28 2.1MB 4% Mac OS X 10.5 [1 of 66] "leopard_client_9a527.dmg.001" yEnc a.b.m.c User 08/28 103.5MB 100% Mac OS X 10.5 [2 of 66] "leopard_client_9a527.dmg.002" yEnc a.b.m.c User 08/28 28.3MB 27.3% Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61655-9a527-is-on-usenet-soon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisequark Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 If anyone has an ISP that provides a free usenet account (Verizon does, I know for sure) then you're much better getting it off of usenet. WAY faster than any torrent. ISPs don't cap Usenet so you will be downloading at the maximum capacity of your connection.

You obvously don't have Comcast 2GB download cap per month, (although no speed cap).

wisequark Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Wow, that sucks. Comcast filters out torrent upload too, right? As much as I usually {censored} about Verizon reliability wise, I have to admit... it could be a lot worse. Unless I lived in like Switzerland. Then I'd have a 100mb/s connection for about $5/month with no limits. Sigh.

wisequark Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 You can sign up for a free trial from a company like Usenext I think. That'll give you more than enough bandwith to grab 9a527. You'll still download at about your line cap. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61655-9a527-is-on-usenet-soon/#findComment-437505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSPHax0r9 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 But, unfortunately I need a credit card for all those free trials. That is one thing which I do not have.

_keegan_ Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The part that really sucks is my G4 is only 533 mhz, wo when i boot it 10.5 loads, gets to desktop, then says i do not meet minimum requirements. U_U If anyone knows how to change this please let me know. I meet all the specs except a few mhz short. I'll boot it again later and see if it will let me pull up system profiler or something and take a screenshot.

wisequark Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The only way I know of is to install it on a machine that meets the specs then restore it over via target disk mode.

Hagar Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 This board is for the discussion of operating systems & anything related, *NOT* for discussing how to get pirated/leaked software.

fheusel Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Yeah, the usenet one seems to be the real deal - not just full of zeros. ;-) Edit: The Header of the first part also seems to be a correct DMG-Header...

Hagar Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thanks flibblesan, but yes, posts about downloading leopard will hurt insanelymac, and maybe the uploader, but not you, so you're fine. that means stop caring about what happens to others, right? the long & the short of it is: Do not discuss the hows & where's of piracy here. end of story. as a p.s. there is a reason why things like this do not get posted on public trackers.

Hagar Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I really would rather not go into the details of the reasons, but try to enforce the rules, and people start crying "censorship". Public admission of piracy is a very bad idea, and insanelymac certainly don't want to be in the position of having to deal with legal challenges from Apple again. What I will say publicly is have some sense. If you want to find it you will, but NOT HERE. What you believe hurts or doesn't, doesn't actually mean a lot in real terms flibblesan, so please respect the wishes of this site and stop.

Hagar Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 As people seem unable to get the message, this thread is closed.. discuss anything you like, but not where & how to get illegal software, nor how to crack it. this is for your own protection as much as anything else. Thank you for understanding. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61655-9a527-is-on-usenet-soon/#findComment-437781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
