Same, my download is already 1/3rd done lol.

Michael T

Thanks a lot, just got the HD version! I do apologise for using the Half Tau code though, I felt dirty doing it.

Matt Parker

I am going to keep track of how many of each are used!

Matt Parker

Sorry about that. Thanks for buying it anyway! You can still use the code on anything else. (Or give it to someone else if they mention your name when checking out.)

Jake Brownson

+1, but happy to support anyway :)

Simon Donkers

I think your offer code is successful, "150 KB/s, 6 hr remaning"

Matt Parker

The download speed is not dependent on choice of discount code. I don’t have that kind of power. Yet.

Martin Pegler

You should host this on a secret patreon torrent tracker and send out torrent files instead of download links. :D Download is so slow :(

Pavel Janata

Oh, that is my dodecaration!

Matt Parker

Yes, it does seem to be annoyingly slow. Sorry about that. It was much faster when we first tested it. They must throttle our total bandwidth.

Oberdiah

I just bought Just for graphs at full price before seeing this in my inbox! Ah well, I guess if there's anyone I wouldn't mind giving a bit extra to it's you, Matt :D.

Hmm... Fax over VOIP "should" work - as long as the codecs involved aren't dropping the finer details of the audio the fax requires - and the data delays don't cause stuttering the corrupts. So, with the right codecs (your VOIP provider will need to support it) and buckets of bandwidth - the more interesting problems will likely appear. <a href="http://www.asteriskpbxsystems.com/voip-faxing.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.asteriskpbxsystems.com/voip-faxing.html</a>

Hi, I used the code for the new show and I'm really excited to watch it. The only problem I'm finding is that it's downloading very slowly. My speed test results show 110Mb/s + but it's downloading between 10-13KB/s. Is the site just slow from everyone trying to download at once?

Rachel

The £ sign is a modified L. π, of course, is the predecessor of the letter P. So, £π is basically just a fancy way of saying LP. Have you considered a format for an audio only release?

Arnim Sommer

The last Fax server I set up used a combination of Hylafax and Asterisk - worked flawlessly; but of course I had ISDN at the other end... *hmmm* You just need one wireless connection? So it could also be printing over WiFi?

Asi

Thanks for all the fish

Holloway

Hey Matt, thanks a lot for the code, totally got the HD version so I can finally watch a full show. Sadly can't make it the the UK to see one live so easily. :(

Matt Parker

Awh, thanks. Much appreciated. If someone mentions you when checking-out in the shop: you can gift them the code.

Matt Parker

It was fast when we tested the system. But they seem to be throttling simultaneous downloads which is very disappointing. Sorry.

Matt Parker

You cracked the code! Not really. But I’ll have an audiobook out eventually.

Matt Parker

Ha, yes I could have just wirelessly printed. But by my own arbitrary rules I wanted the fax to reach the machine (for whatever that means). I had a suspicion Asterisk was the way forward! But I sadly ran out of time.

Matt Parker

Yes, that was when I decided it was going to take too much time to get fax-over-VOIP working. Maybe one day I’ll get re-excited.

Matt Parker

That is why we try to get the shows filmed (despite it being a long and costly process) because we know not many people can make it to a live show. And flying the audience over to the UK is super costly.

Holloway

Maybe the next big project with the wifi fax machine?

Margaret Synnott

I'm having terrible trouble downloading it. I only have one "download" left. Is anyone else having downloads fail?

Olle Kelderman

just bought the fancy gift pack thingy of both shows, wanted to do that since forever anyway, seems like now is a good time to actually do it :D

Ray

Already bought it full price. +1 to statistics. Neber understood why people pay more for HD. I would have gotten SD even if it didnt save 1.156e pounds. Nice to see yet another nonmagical square that reuses numbers.

Ray

Just use the same encoding as the images on the voyager golden record

Dean Kelley

Thanks for the response, Matt. It must have picked up after a little while because it finished within an hour, compared to the 23 hours it had been quoting me. Cheers!

Arnim Sommer

Well, the setup had taken me a day or two - and I do Unix for a living... But knowing where the path lies is half the work done ;-)

Arnim Sommer

Yes, just at the last MB... Could it be region dependent? I'm in Germany...

Coral (formerly Sully)

Downloaded this in SD last week [because my eyesight's knackered ∴ I can't tell the difference]. Just watched it tonight [my downloads folder is chocka]. Absolutely brilliant [I'm a fan of square brackets].

Derek Chandler

I tried to get hold of DVD but found signed copies were sold out (probably bought as Christmas gifts?). Now the discount codes have expired! What can I do?
