I had the same trouble. Use a different client. For example, if you're on linux, use kTorrent. I've also heard that u (micro) uTorrent is good. You're downloading it from bittorent?

I see the concept of sharing knowledge for free is shocking the world. How said that is, how far has capitalism sank us into the pit pool of hell where people start to think its normal that we need to pay to stand on each others shoulder and build... Soon some law will make it alright to copyright an alphabet letter and 26 people will get very rich. And others will hold all colors, like orange (yes project orange got mails from some phone company). Anarchists will start developing new letters handing them out for free, building a concept of communication, free of charge. People will stare and be angry as they paid hard cash for the b-to-z (missing a and m, they where just too expensive) seeing the new letters made writing just as easy and more clear as there where no longer any restrictions.... They yelled! And yelled... There you go, nice treatment for the 3rd blender institute movie. LOL… I see the concept of sharing knowledge for free is shocking the world.

That's assuming that you have a fast internet connection with free bandwidth like I have. I am really glad that Bart published Bassam's opinion here to clear up things. But I must say, that I would have been surprised, if he had replied anything different. After all, why use the Creative Commons license if you are not fine with the material being shared? That is the whole purpose of CC. And I don't really understand why this outrage over free distribution has arisen regarding this DVD especially. Don't you people download new releases of Blender for free all the time? How is that any different? Lots of hours of work is put into the coding as well. Anybody who benefits from any aspect of the work of the Blender foundation should donate in some way. Buy something, donate directly or donate work. If a person downloads this DVD for free it doesn't mean that that person isn't giving something back is some other way. Just like downloading the Blender software isn't a bad thing.

It is well worth the price. The DVD is very well done and the content is amazing. I'm happy to contribute to the cause and get some great content in return. I hope there will be more Blender Foundation DVDs coming out after Peach. I'll gladly buy them!! I bought the DVD and it arrived 3 days ago. It is well worth the price.

Its alot of money and i recently bought Introducing Character Animation with Blender, so currently i don't have the money for this. But what i saw so far looks really good, so i definitely going to buy it. iam sure iam going to buy it next month, but now iam downloading it to see if its worth 34 €.

This selfish attitude is certainly not welcome at all. One thing that pisses me off is the people that download a torrent and doesn't seed it.
