I'm doing this out of the goodness of my heart. Stop sending me PMs asking me to speed this up by somehow defying the laws of physics.

It will finish and you will get your disks, just show a little patience.

I swear, I'd have never even considered doing this if I would have known how downright rude some people could be. Is there a way to turn off PMs?

Thank you again for doing this.

Please don't give up on the rest of us because of a few bad apples.

Don't let the rude ones get you down. I, for one, really appreciate the effort! I'm downloading now and will continue seeding once the download is complete to help out the others.

I left my mac on all night (which I usually do) and it's a 85% so far. Should be done by the time I come back from work

First of all, I wasn't complaining. Just asking those who already have it COMPLETED, to seed so we can all get to help each other. I'm no psychic to know you were the only one to have a complete version of it. For the record, I never PMed you. And thanks for your help, really appreciate it. Like others have said, don't let those harassing you on PM get you all riled up.

Sorry I got riled up. You're fine. Really, looking back, it was just one PM that irked me--it was just that it was the first in a stack of them when I checked this morning but most were neutral.

It's all good!

BTW, I have Memorex DVD+R 16X 4.7GB dvds... Are these the same you used? Got them from Wally World... I also installed ImgBurn... Any tips/tricks to burn these?

Sounds identical to what I used. I burned at 4x with ImgBurn. The other one was a TDK DVD-R 16x and I also burned it at 4x with cdrecord, a linux utility. Both asked me to shutdown for 5 minutes and reload. I just did a manual reset (both eject buttons and push in the VOL knob) anv avoided the 5 minute wait.

Note that the file you get from the torrent is a zip file with the ISO image inside. Unzip it first before burning be sure you burn as an iso image and finalize the disk. ImgBurn does this automatically if the file has the .iso extension (but windows hides the extension from you).

Gene, can you elaborate further on the manual reset? I do that with the ignition on? Pardon my ignorance, first time bimmer here. lol

I am downloading now and it is humming along. Thx for putting this up

Acc. on or Ignition on.

With the thumb and forefinger of you're right hand, press and hold both eject buttons--the one for the CD and the one for the NAV DVD--and with the left hand click the audio VOL button in (like when you mute the stereo). If you do it fast enough, neither CD nor DVD will eject, but it won't hurt if they do--just pop them back in before the iDrive screen comes back on.

[Szemenyei]

I could start burning disks and shipping them if people want to throw me a few bucks via paypal.

I have heard BMW drivers can be dicks but the people bothering you affirm this. Thanks for seeding. I will seed as well when it is complete. I have an internet connection powered by dark matter and nuclear fusion so it should speed up soon.
