Chuck11: If you share the file with torrents you will need to feed the file for several hours or even days. That's not good for you.

It is better if you upload the file to a server, because this way you will only be uploading the file for a few hours.

Anyway, it's up to you.

Thanks!

I'll see but for me bittorrent is easier cause I can leave it on and off when needed. Also for some reason I can upload on bt faster than on any shitty upload service and I get info about the status of my upload unlike a little bar saying loading.

Lol this thread should be a sticky when its done...10 pages lol...

OK...just let us know when you start uploading. Thanks!

10 pages, I´m surprissed too! All my threads were so short.

10 pages???... I'm seeing 4 pages....(TIP: In user CP change the number of posts per page to MAX.)..

Sticky?, I hope so... Chuck11 is going to be allot of people's hero when he uploads the ISO somewhere.

(PS: On the bit torrent, by doing it that way allot of people who really need it will probally not be able to download for various reasons. Some may be at "work", or school and can't install the needed software for example, or are due to security reasons may not want their computer being accessed from the outside. (That is how bit torrent works, right?)

Another reason is on most every board I've been to they don't allow bit torrents...

Hey, on the upload, You said you had Cox Internet. Is that DSL, Or Cable? 256kps sounds about right for DSL if you're on a 3mb connection.

No I have cox cable. BitTorrent is an amazing thing. Basically it works like p2p works except you get torrents on the internet. You connect to a tracker (which is part of the .torrent file, (some websites tracker like piratebay.org)) and then you connect to the seeds and the seeds share to leachers and it gets shared.

Hey guys, let me chime in on this thread to give some insight of what I have found out so far with QP2. I recieved my DV8000T about 2 weeks ago. I already had my Hitachi 100gb 7200rpm drive sitting here waiting. 1st being disappointed that HP did not ship the secondary HD bracket with my system, I fit the Hitachi into the 2nd drive bay and held it in there with some foam so I could ghost the original drive using True Image 9 onto the new Hitachi drive. Once that was done, I immediately rebooted the computer into QP. Everything worked fine. In True Image, I partitioned the HP recovery partion to 11.9 GB as on the original drive and the QP 2 patition to 1 GB just as on the original drive. I added all the extra space to the C partition. Again, everything worked fine with QP 2 booting properly. Now here is where the stupidity comes in though. Being that I already made my backup DVD's, I told HP Recovery to remove the recovery partition. After doing that, guess what? QP 2 doesn't load properly now. It boots to Windows instead. Looking into it more closely and going through the registry, I notice that under Quickplay, it points to a "config.sys" file to get its settings. So I searched my drive for a config.sys file and found nothing. I tried getting a windows based Linux file browser to search the QP 2 partition, but everything I got wouldn't read the partition. So then I though, maybe its just looking to be a 3rd partition on the drive, so I redid the drie again, making my own 2 partitions for my use and the 1gb partition for QP 2. Reinstalled the OS, and QP 2 still boots to Windows instead of QP! Now why would removing the HP Recovery partition make QP 2 not boot correctly anymore? Could it be reading a config.sys file from that partition to boot into QP 2? Perhaps this a security feature in QP 2 so users of non HP products cannot obtain and use QP 2 on another brand? In the restore options in, when you restore applications, there is an option to restore QP, but I haven't tried just restoring QP after removing the HP Recovery partition.

I spent the better part of a week formatting, reinstalling, getting drunk over this stupid program. Luckily True Image works really well for ghosting and restoring. Some time this week, I will try removing the HP Recovery Partition, and running the restore applications disk to see if I can get QP 2 to work correctly. Right now, I just removed all the HP BS from the system, left the recovery partition, and QP 2 works like a champ on the new Hitachi 100GB 7200RPM drive. Will post more info after I try it what I said above.

I do think all of us need to bombard HP with phone calls and emails until they give us a restore option for this program. Having a notebook filled with their junk is not an option, as we all know it slows it down. Even Dell has a restore disk for MediaDirect 2.0 that is sent to the customer upon asking for it. HP needs to do the same. I also think they should give us all the HD bracket for the secondary up asking. But thats me

hey guys
ordered my dv5121tx... will be gettin it next week
i tried searching for info on quickplay 2.0 and stumbled on this site
i'm glad i checked this forum before getting the thing.. now i know what things not to do! any chance of seeing a screenshot of this app?

SVTSnake: Please! Post all the info you can, I think that it may be possible that QPv2 reads that file from the recovery partition.

Hey SVTSnake just something interesting...I have a 2000 Ford SVT Lightning...

Todays date:

Friday April 5th.

Chuck11.... did the disc get here on the 4th?... just was curious on the part number on the disc.... If it is indeed V2.0... No rush on the uploading.. just wondered what version it was.

No I haven't gotten it yet. I'm going to call them today. I'll get you the part number later.

When you placed the order, you should have gotten a e-mail from them with the order details, tracking info. Click on that and it should say if it was shipped or not. (Key word is "should".) Should give an ETA.. etc.

I did get the email but in the tracking section, all that it says is that it is scheduled to ship on the 4th and next day shipping. Then it says not shipped. I didn't have time to call them today and I won't have any tomorrow. If it doesn't get here on Monday I will definitely call them.

Got a dv1000t for my cousin and have spent the last two (sleepless) weeks at war with my first HP. After trouble with reformatting (WinXP CD didn't recognize SATA), reinstalling drivers, and salvaging QPv2, I ended up with the following:

WinXP Home without the HP bulk and hassle save for QP, the quicklaunch buttons, pionting dev software, and help files/guides. I will later on install WinXP Pro via windows interface.

No recovery Partition (via Norton Partition Magic 8).

Functioning QPv2 in Windows

Functioning QPv2 in dos EXCEPT: won't recognize C: partition (in fact thinks RECOVERY is still on hard drive) so won't play files off HDD, just off CD/DVDs and ext. drives.


I'm glad my cousin's satisfied with this cause I wouldn't be. HP has got some serious issues with it's tech-saavy audience.
