I need a file but can't get hold of it

it's called id2q for mac

What torrent client are you using - azeurus?

Should be a case of download torrent file from web , open file with torrent client i.e azeurus or other and then the app will start downloading file you're after to your specified download location on pc / mac...

Good look finding Mac stuff on Torrents,  I just checked my usual sites for that and came up blank,  dunno if there are Mac Torrent specific torrent sites around.

You want to know about torrents you internet thief you!!

Azureus is now Vuze.  Go here - http://www.vuze.com/app for information software and stuff.

e-mailed a few mac designers that use above,  dunno if they've got the tool!!

Waiting!!

only problem (apart from legality ) of torrent downloading is you don't know if the .exe file has been modified to infect your entire system or if the torrent has another harmful file piggy-backed onto it. Any keygen's or cracks supplied are usually the culprit.

so i've been told

1) download and install the vuze software

2) configure it using the set up wizard - take the defaults

3) google search for "id2q torrent" - http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=id2q+torrent&meta=

4) when you find the torrent file instead of saving it just open it and Vuze will launch and schedule the download

5) how long it takes will depend on how many people are seeding (allowing it to be downloaded from them) it and how fast theirs and your connections are

6) hand yourself into the local police station

Nope same machine same IDCS3 one single file that is utter shitted up...

Adobe haven't a clue why, it's just gone icky....found the file a colleague gave it me but it needs an activation code and when I googled that about 20 popunders tried to come up and I got a nice treat to some porn at work.

I give up and will have to work from scratch off the proofs all over again...bottle of wine and working late at home tonight it is

Yeah now worries, Adobe were really good in the end i've FTPed the file and they're going to forensic it for me. If the same happens to any more files i'll be shafted good and true.

Fact is tonight I'm working late to try and correct it.

Scary thing is that a back up the file from 3 weeks ago failed to load also :/ it's got everyone stumped

Mate sent this :-

Nope - I have the Quark to InDesign converter... but not the other way around?!?
I didnt actually know they did one for that direction.
I'll have a look though, cos it's probably quite useful.

It's probably not working because you have too old a version of Quark/InDesign....

let me know version numebrs.. and maybe i can get it converted for you?!?!

Sadly no use!!

We have a freeware Q to ID...it's such an ass they fell out

CS3 and Quark 7 too old lol :-0 To be honest I spent the afternoon with an awesome chap from Adobe we tried the works to no avail...fact is the file simply just fucked itself up. Leaving me with the task of doing it all over again which isn't pretty...thankfully I'd packaged and pre-flighted the lot so at least I don't need to go trawling for links and fonts.

If your mate wants the file I found a copy but I don't have a code.

Sure he'll survive without it,  he's got BB board access so every file you'd ever want available to him anyway.

Bugger,  I've got a manager for 1 of my systems that got corrupted nearly a year back,  it was running so all fine,  they recently moved the server and it's killed it so got to rewrite that from scratch I think   so I can feel your pain

It's just something very crazy, I think there's a HD fault waiting to happen on a 6month old Mac Pro not mine though so I don't really mind I just don't like losing an entire day of work trying fix it plus another 2 maybe 3 redoing the artwork when it could have gone to press monday ARRGH is all I can say.

But thanks for all the help errybody
