You can download the full DVD (4.37 GB) and then burn it to disc if you're fussy.

Shit, they even include the covers to print off and put in a DVD Jewel Case!

 

You got any links?

 

4.37GB is a serious download. Thats the capacity of a single layer dvd+r.

Most porn films these days are 6-7 GB. I either split on to 2 dvd+r's or burned on a Dual layer dvd.

 

Looking at paysites where you 'download to own' a film the specs are lower than normal

 

I have the dvd 'Teens with Tits 9'. It's going to be about 5-6GB

 

This paysite has it as 2.11GB to download Pornography Movies

 

Adultdvdempire (the biggest adult dvd retailer in the US) advises users to have 1.5GB free on their PC for 'video on demand'

I'd be suprised if those sites giving it away for free are going to offer full size downloads.

Actually the USPS shipped items took not more than ten days. I am pleased with their service. The cost is not much different from FedEx so the shipping savings is minimal. This last FedEx shipment took a couple of extra days because they needed a copy of my Passport. That's bullshit too. I bought a $300 pressure cooker from Australia shipped via regular mail and there was no tax at all.

 

I've been waiting 40 days for a USPS shipment of a simple thing like a screen replacement for a mobile I ordered from Amazon.

Do a little research on downloading from News Group Servers. It is totally free although you can if you wish pay for access to a larger group of servers, up to you, I never bothered because my Internet provider Virgin Media provides their own free servers. They are not websites.

 

With a 20 MB connection you can pull down a full DVD (4.37 GB) in less than 60 mins. Plug your PC into a large screen TV and wank away

Oops, I meant 20 days (so far).

This is the fastest, but equally as good is just to use BitTorrent, and leave the computer running while you're doing other stuff, and the movie will come - in an hour, 6 hours, a day, whatever.

Did you get a tracking number? You can use the tracking number to see where it is at.

Nope.

Nope.

 

If it was shipped regular mail versus USPS priority mail, you'll be lucky is you ever get it. I've had regular air mail letters opened. Usually they had a card and a letter in them so were thicker than a normal letter. I assume the thief was checking to see if they contained money. The envelope was torn just enough for them to see what was in it.

Yep, USPS Priority Mail.

 

See, the thing is, I had ordered something from Amazon while I was in the USA that said 3-6 day shipping time. I had 7 days before leaving, so I had it sent to my ex-wife's home.

Then I got a letter from Amazon saying that the product would arrive in 6-12 days!

 

So, I went to the local podunk post office in a town of 1000 and asked the postman about shipping to Thailand. He told me USPS Priority would arrive in 7 days or less. What does he know, I suppose? He's probably never been out of California. But, I believed him. I bought a small packet, addressed it, filled in the customs form, and bought the stamps ($13USD).

I gave the package to my daughter and asked her to insert the contents of the package from Amazon into the box, seal it, and drop it off at a post box.

It arrived the day I left (about 2 hours after my flight departed).

Still waiting.

Send your daughter to the podunk post office and have her ask the postmaster how to track it because you didn't get it. In that size of a town, he'll probably remember sending it. I doubt many packages from there get sent to Thailand.

Equally as good? Not imho. Sure, you will get the file eventually with a Torrent but if you need something fast, news groups are the way to go. I have a high spec pc and surfing the internet is a nightmare when your Torrent app is running in the background. None of that shit with news groups.

 

BTW, I use both when I have the opportunity

I got the advice and pre-stamped package in the podunk post office, but the package was mailed in the "big city". It's not a big deal. The item wasn't that expensive, and certainly no one would steal it. I am having the phone repaired her in LOS for about the same amount.

If the package ever arrives, I'll have a backup screen replacement for when I drop it again.

Not speed, I meant final quality of the merchandise only. If you're not in a hurry, torrents are as good as anything.

Sorry for going off topic a but, but I just went to PureTNA after reading this, and when I logged in, AVG (anti-virus) popped up and said there was an exploit type virus on the page.

 

Anyone else have this problem?

 

Yes i did MM(nothing that SpyBot couldn't handle though), do not go to this Website unless you wish to inherit a Trojan Worm.

 

DO NOT USE PureTNA!!!

FYI, the USPS priority mail package arrived after 20 days.

I have one on the way, USPS International Letter. 26th July... The internet tracking system is useless. All it tells me is received at the Bronx, NY that date and no further information.

Before April, I was getting two or three packages sent a month by USPS. It was almost clockwork, USPS Express (EMS) took one calendar week and USPS Priority mail took two weeks, almost to the day. Hadn't had one more than a day or two off, and had no boxes go missing, nor any of them opened by Thai Customs. Some got hit for duty without being opened, but surprisingly, most didn't

 

Since the Red Shirt stuff kicked off in April, I have had one Express package go completely missing (they claim it never entered the country), two Express packages seized, three Priority packages opened and resealed by Customs (but charged duty and delivered) and one Priority package seized.

 

Bangkok Customs sends the seized packages for Pattaya to Laem Chabang where they decide if you can have it or not. They'll send a Customs notice, then you must go personally to pick up the package, if they decide to give it to you. To date, the three packages seized were not released, even after visiting the Customs office. There was nothing illegal inside any of them. I assume they think they will make more reselling the items than what they would get for duty.

 

The number of people in line with the same letter (white paper with green print with a 0 Baht duty charge) tells me I'm far from the only one losing packages to them.

[chuckrivera]

Right now I am waiting on an EMS letter sent from the UK sent out 26 July. We'll see how long it takes to show up.

[jacko]

Let us know when it shows up.

It arrived this afternoon....

No problems...

So, just 7 days. That's pretty speedy...especially compared to the 25 days or so it took my small parcel.

[chuckrivera]

^ Yeah, that is exactly my prior experience as well. USPS International Express was almost always exactly one calendar week.

 

 

@ Jacko. When you track on the USPS site, it stops at at outbound customs. If you look on Thai Post and track there, you can see when it enters the country and leaves BKK Customs. Have only had about 50% success with this, sometimes the package is delivered before the Thai site is updated.

Mine was a little box, 6x6x6 inch, but to be honest that was silly as the contents could have fit into a gift card envelope.

But when you need something, you need it now, and are prepared to pay 5x it's cost to get it shipped...

Well useful info, I am more familiar with DHL, where their site tracks end-to-end. During the airport closure I tracked a package all over the place as it weaved it's way to me not via Soyouwantaboomboom! Edited August 2, 2010 by jacko
