Having been out of torrents for a long time. What is the recommended client?

I dont want malware :) Windows preferred.

Also if i run Kstars on windows where do i put the files? everything i have seen is linux paths.

Thanks!

Would it fry my Pi if I copy all the files from Norder 1 to 7 on its SSD? :D

Copying maybe not (if the SSD is large enough).
Zooming in and out in KStars starmap, probably yes :evil:

Should be ok if you have the space. But you probably don't need 6-7. Level 5 is pretty detailed.

If you use the DSS Color quite a bit, then I find having them local makes for a smoother scroll / pan / zoom experience.

Okay, the download & extraction is now complete. I'll first copy Norder 1 to 5 and try how the Pi/ KStars performs. If all goes well, will try the 6 & 7 as well.

Can you give quick instructions on how you downloaded them? I used that original dropbox link and i would like to learn the proper way.

Thanks!

Sure, Chad

I actually used the four torrent links provided one after the other on Giles' blog post on the topic here:

coochey.net/?p=699

You need a torrent client to download, of course. The first one had Norder 1 to 4, and the other three had 5, 6, and 7 thereafter.

I ended my torrent seeding, let me know if you want it re-enabled (and seed some more).

I still seed the 1-4 level. But only when my computer is left on.

I dont trust myself with torrents as i have not kept up on the client side of things. I will just get malware unless you can recommend a client.

I would there there has to be a way to get them from the official source and not second hand.

If you use Google Chrome, you could download an extension from the Chrome Web Store called the 'Free Download Manager'.

With that downloaded & enabled in the browser, you just have to click the links on Giles' blog post and it will pull the download neatly.
