Rigmar Karaoke Collection 2017

[imshelp]

how many volumes are there?

you said "This is a major download and you will require a 500GB hard drive to store it on"

volume 11 has been posted already making it exceed 500 gig


edit---------------------------------

sorry i mis calculated  there would be probably be 100 volumes and 11 would exceed 50 gig not 500  (end of QUOTE)

The new torrent is best.   Search Rigmar Collection April 2017.   It contains over 45 thousand Songs with Multiple choice Labels in ONE torrent.   If you open the Spreadsheet files or the CSV Plain text File which are outside the main Archive that will give you a list of the RAR Archive contents.   This is not a project for the beginner to Bit Torrent for even at sustained download speeds of 2.5 MB/s or 20 megabits per second it will take over 2 days to download.

You will also have the problem of un archiving the RAR directory at your end when you have downloaded this correctly.   Even with very powerful and fast hardware this will take half an hour or more.   On slower hardware it could take 12 hours to unarchive this.

The RAR Archive is over 300 GB in size and when uncompressed the files will fit on a 500GB drive but only just.   I do this upload once per year as this is a working commercial Karaoke Collection and as such very dynamic with monthly subscription discs added 12 times a year.    Duplications and errors are very low at less than 1 percent of the total and all tracks have been renamed and tagged to give very good search results when imported into professional playout software.

---

OK Gang the new Torrent is all the other RAR Archives in one giant download.    The problem with doing it is 42 or so torrents is each torrent does not have the critical mass that keeps the torrent from dying due to lack of peers staying behind to seed.   I have not got the resources to seed all the parts at the same time and can no longer afford a 1GB seedbox 24/7.

So I made up the latest Torrent Search keyword is 'Rigmar Collection April'  without the ' ' each end.   This is being seeded with between 4 and 8 seeds one of which for the next month (October 2017) by myself having purchased a SEED BOX in Amsterdam with a 1GB seed pipe so you can max out your download bandwidth if you know how to torrent.    If you do that you should have it within 40 hours or less.

As stated view the spreadsheet or CSV plain text files for the Archive contents.  You can download them first in your bit torrent client.  If you do not know how to do that then ask online as all bit torrent clients have online pages and forums.

BUT remember a 300GB sized RAR Archive will take a very long time to unarchive and you will require at least 500 GB hard drive space to store the archived CDG+MP3 Karaoke songs before you import them into your playout software.
So far over 680 Peers have completed this download since April so I must be doing something right hi...   Enjoy.  Rigmar Radio - Seeding to the World since 2004.

Only 2 weeks left on the 1GB seedbox, so if you wish to join the other 740 plus peers who have downloaded all 302GB of this single RAR Archive of over 74 thousand CDG+MP3 Karaoke songs in the collection now would be a very good time to start.   At sustained download speeds of 2.5 MB/s or 20 megabits per second this download will take approx just over 2 days to finish.   The resulting RAR Archive will take a very long time to unpack on slower computers and require a 500 GB sized hard drive to store it on.

The contents of this RAR Archive may be inspected by downloading and reading the CSV Plain Text file or the Spreadsheet files before you commit to the main download.   The spreadsheet files are sorted by 1. Artiste and then 2. by Song Title and are designed to make producing a Karaoke Song book easy.   The song book will have over 450 pages when printed out A4 double sided on the original font size.

Once the lease of my seedbox has expired later early November I will leave the seeding of this torrent to the community, but I will be back next year with the 2018 collection and start this all over again.   Enjoy and of course as always thank you to the very few who remain behind to help me seed this.  748 Peers reported to have completed this torrent download between the two trackers.   Enjoy.

Ooops, I missed my opportunity it seems. I've been trying to download this for days. Got my kids 21st Birthday coming up tomorrow and was really hoping to get this in time

If by any chance you or someone else has a way for me to grab this (I have a good connection, up to 1Gb/s if necessary) would really appreciate it. I could also provide a fast location to upload to if it's easier...I realise it's unlikely to happen now but I figured it's worth a shot...

Couldn't see a way to PM on this board?

hey all. just found this so im gonna put it on my seedbox for a while looks like a TREMENDOUS effort. Hope its still seeding fast. Wow thats a bunch of karaoke. My cat is gonna hate you guys

anyway, is there a listing somewhere that says what artists can be found on which archive? thanks.

[jpayne]

SAdly, for whatever reason my Seedbox is just queued and not downloading anything? wonder if theyve blocked this? I tried it on my home vpn and it started downloading immediately - i just cant let it run for too long. Anyone have a clue why i might be having a problem in my seedbox?

Thank you so very much for your collection. Since not all KJ programs read rar but most read zips, I wrote a quick PHP Script that would go through an extracted set of files and pull the paired MP3 and CDG together and zip them up. You need at least PHP 7 to run. Hope this helps others in need! Modify at your own risk. The typical disclaimer... I'm not responsible for how this affects your machine and it does DELETE FILES so run at your own risk.

To run.. navigate to the directory you want to zip the karaoke paired files and call the script... example if you saved this code in your Downloads directory as zip.php...

Code:

cd ~/Music/Karaoke;
php ~/Downloads/zip.php

PHP Code:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
foreach (glob(getcwd() . '/*.cdg') as $filename) {
  $zip = new ZipArchive();
  $basename = basename($filename, '.cdg');
  $zipname = $basename . '.zip';
  if ($zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
    exit("cannot open <$zipname>\n");
  }
  $zip->addFile($basename . '.mp3');
  $zip->setCompressionIndex(0, ZipArchive::CM_REDUCE_4);
  $zip->addFile(basename($filename));
  $zip->setCompressionIndex(1, ZipArchive::CM_REDUCE_4);
  $zip->close();
  unlink(basename($filename));
  unlink($basename . '.mp3');
}

Can anyone give me a run down on how to use this code?  Do you just paste it into the notepad, save it as php and run it?  That doesn't seem to work for me.  Any insight you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated!
