My uTorrent got hosed yesterday and would only download at 1.6kB/s until I rebooted the system.

Then I got it back up but I am sadly only slightly higher than before. This morning is looked like only 80% was available again. If I can get to 100%, I'll seed for at least a week since I've got a bit of bandwidth to spare.

I've got it 100% and it will be up for seed until a ratio of 5.0.
Current share ratio: 2.357

Seems to mention clone at the end. Hopefully it works for you.

Programming small modules with the DCAN is alright, but anything else. I wouldn't risk it.

[nate5ks]

I know my ISP is throttling uploads, I need to find a way around it. Anybody have a good suggestion for VPN?

[playground]

Sensible_ is a great guy, thanks for sharing

[pcamera123]

hidemyass.com (They keep logs and they will tell on you)
slick VPN (Dont keep logs slower servers than Hide My ass)
Or just make your own amazon WDS and openVPN

I mounted the VM (i.e. the .vmdk file) using Winmount but cannot find the directory Sensible specified for adding datens for other models:

apps/BMW/services/ecudata/[your model number]

What am I missing?

Thanks

I think maybe it's slightly wrong, I was writing it from memory. Try;

apps/BMW/ISTA-P/services/ecudata....

Or something like that. Sorry, I'm not at computer now to check.

Also, when you mount vmdk with winmount there are 3 partitions. OS partition is selected automatically. Change this to the last one! It's is where ISTA-P is stored.

[dpaul]

Thanks - I was looking at the wrong partition!

Great work, I have 120GB SSD on my laptop and original ISTA-P 2.48.1 weights about 70GB . So no space for other things . It is very helpfull, thanks.

[tinkerman]

Thank you Sensible! I've successfully downloaded and unpacked the following:

ISID_31_E89_ISTA-P-D.vmdk (77.67GB)
ISID_31_E89_ISTA-P-D.vmx (3KB)

*Note: These files are currently on an external drive.

I’d appreciate some advice on how and in what order to install the VM and other necessary ‘elements’ considering I have the following:

1. VMWare Workstation version 9.0.2 (not yet installed)

2. ICOM Emulator 3.0.3 (1.07GB): Provided by ‘Gini’ / without a USB Dongle (Supposedly there is a method of using the ‘Snap Shot’ feature in VMWare to eliminate(?) the need for a security dongle) Has anyone tried this?

3. D-CAN Cable from One Stop Electronics

4. MacBook Air running Windows 7 with SSD(106GB currently free) and 4GB RAM.

Thanks!

Hi can you share your Admin Password?

[tinkerman]

First, much thanks again to Sensible for sharing the ‘E89 only ISID’ VM.

After much trial and error with the ICOM Emulator (‘Snap Shot’ w/ no security dongle, shared by Gini) network settings, I’ve finally succeeded in getting the ICOM to show in the ISID’s ‘Connection manager’!

The network settings in the installation guide(‘BMW ISID and ISSS for ICOM Emulator with K+D-CAN USB cable configuration manual.pdf’) provided by Gini actually did not work in my case, probably because we are using ISID VMs with different network settings, and therefore, require different ICOM network settings.

Thank you ‘YouTube dude’ (that dude with the amusing/monotonous voice that always begins with, “~ Good Morning YouTubers~…”), that I thought to be Hong Kong-Chinese, but turns out to be Jamaican?! I guess not all Jamaicans sound like ‘dub musicians’! His ICOM settings as shown in his ‘tutorial’ was my ‘inspiration’. No need to watch the long video, for I've attached the essential network settings images below.
(www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD6PFozuoqM)

Attached are the ‘Virtual Network Editor’ settings in image form from my ICOM Emu ‘Snap Shot’ setup, and a screen shot of ISTA-D in action.

Cheers.

I mounted the vmdk in WinMount but when I try to open the drive I get this error:

"Location is not available
Z:\ is not accessible.
Incorrect function."

What am I doing wrong? Thanks...

*content same as above.
----------------------------------------

Again, in my(tinkerman) case, Gini's 'Instructions' did not produce connection between the ISID VM and the ICOM Emu VM. Also, it is instructions for an ICOM Emu, not the 'snap shot' provided by Gini. With the 'snap shot' I realized that I did not have to install the FTDI chip(K+D CAN cable) drivers for the ICOM VM automatically installed them or they were already installed in the snap shot. I just had to manually activate or 'connect' the K+D CAN cable to the ICOM VM(by right clicking on the USB connector icon on the lower right corner of the ICOM VM window). Also, I noticed that the ICOM icon and the ifhsrv32(interface handler) icon do not need to be / should not be executed because they are already running in the snap shot, and actually the ICOM icon when executed just triggers a pop-up mentioning that the security dongle is missing. I did execute the icon for 'K+D CAN Configuration' since I am connecting a K+D CAN cable.
Since you are likely going to be using the ISID shared by Sensible, try the settings I've posted above first. Be patient and recheck details. Good luck.

new to this, do I need any special hardware to run it or any instructions on how to set it up?

First, what series (E??, F??) of car will you be connecting to? This info determines which type of cable and snap shot to use, as well as the instructions file you'll need.
