 Both the Update and the All in One package have been released, and it's now safe to say that PCM.daily's 2013 DB is out in the open field.
While we did expect some interest, I have to say that I didn't expect more than 2.000 downloads in less than 24 hours - and neither did the poor servers which haven't been able to serve all of you.
Therefore, we've now decided to go back to the usual way of distributing. And to clear everything up, here's some recommendations on what to do:
If you don't have any of the previos PCM.daily databases, go for the All in One Package.
If you do, go for the Update Package, but make sure that you have every file mentioned in the installation description.
Both will download as torrents. When released, torrents are usually quite slow since there's only few seeders (people who have downloaded the entire package). It will get better speed-wise within a day or so.
As an alternative to the torrents, you can download the files by the mirrors which you will find in the download description at each of the two links. However, in this case you will have to download between 3 and 10 smaller files of about 1 GB. Despite the hassle, this may be the faster option to begin with.
We kindly ask you to seed the files even if you choose to download through the mirrors. This is how: 1. Download the files from the mirrors and place them in the same folder. 2. When done downloading, download the torrent file and open it with uTorrent. 3. uTorrent will ask you where you want to download the file to. Point it to the folder where you stored the files from the mirror. 4. It will now check whether the files matches the ones it wants to download. When done, it will start seeding (and not re-download). and you will be helping others getting the files faster. |
