Hi, is there a way all the bumps can be consolidated into a zip file or something like it? I'd like to dl all of them, but there are so many it would take all day to click each one. I found something on a bittorrent site, but there were only a small amount, maybe 50 or so. Would it even be possible to consolidate them all into a one time downloadable file?
Thanks,
CG
That would take a few GBs... I don't think it's entirely possible. :|
That would be pretty much impossible due to the fact there's like 400 bumps, a few KB's a piece. Therefore, it would be like 7 GB's (?BER GUESS!!1!) and .zip's can't hold that much memory, nor .rar's....

That's not what their site (http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=295&kb=0&kb_article_id=16) says. Regardless, making a .rar of all the bumps on the site would take forever. (Keep in mind that a lot of bumps aren't on the site. Mainly plain black and white bumps and some older bumps that were hard to come by.)

I think it'd be 4 to 5 GBs. And well, theoretically it would be possible to do it, but it would be horribly impractical (It would be either "risk having a 5GB download time out" or "make a plausibly downloadable 500 part rar file"), not to mention server space, bandwidth and everything else involved. And whoa, a bump torrent? Never seen that before :-o.

True, it'd take forever to make as well. And it'd be technically incomplete to boot.
I would totally do a bump torrent if we weren't constantly adding more and more. I suppose I could just do all the current ones and make an updated one every now and then (like twice a year at the most)... lol. I like the idea, but I don't know how easy it will be to make it happen. I'll look more into the torrent at least.

How are you guys constantly adding more and more? Adult Swim is only on at night time..

There are new bumps every week.

Really? :o
Yeah! Every Sunday night, with a few scattered during the week at times.

How do you know? Does the video card like have updated things every time you go on teh pc?
Do you even watch [adult swim] :?
The format changes periodically, and I don't have time at the moment for a full dissertation on the matter (I should do that one day) but in general, the b&w text bumps are rotated out on a weekly basis. Most of them will never air again, but once in awhile they pull some out of the mothballs for re-air - something they seem to have started to do more often of late. We watch/record every night, there are lists kept. And while I don't imagine any one of us remembers EVERY single bump ever aired, between the group of us fixated on the bumps we have a pretty good collective memory of them. :mrgreen:

I like this even better, if you can put it on U torrent that would be great!
I have been searching all over the internet for a collection of adult swim bumps. Does anyone know if Crab ever took the time to make a torrent of the bumps currently collected up to this point?
It would be a lot easier to simply go through them locally on the PC.
For those of you concerned about the size...I'm looking at a 223.48 gb torrent right now: Alldata portable Repair.
I don't think 6-7 gigs really compares :P
It's not gonna happen, man. Again, the constant updating would make it irrelevant in less than a month. I know what you mean about having them locally on the PC, but best bet would be getting a download manager.
why does it need to be updated constantly? Just a collection of up till now would be fine :/
what crab was thinking about offering would be perfect...even if he updated once a year or...even never again. Someone could pick up where he left off.
Because there are new bumps every week. Something like this might work: http://jdownloader.org/ There are many free managers on Google.
The biggest problem right now is that running a BitTorrent tracker or seeding on our server is forbidden. But all of our bumps are hosted on the server.. so who is going to seed the bumps? I certainly cannot do so from home on my lame DSL connection, and I don't know anyone who has a lot of bandwidth and a copy of all the bumps so far.
So that leaves us with less desirable options. We could host a series of ZIP/RAR files with all the bumps, but I hate the idea of duplicating the amount of space we use by bumps on the server.
Or a really smart person would use a download manager, as mongo suggested :-P All our bumps can be downloaded using the following URL structure:
http://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/dv/X
where X is the bump number. Some download managers can do ranges of URLs, so you'd just give it something like http://www.bumpworthy.com/bumps/dv/[1-3000] to download the first 3000 bumps :p (assuming they are available).
As much as I appreciate the other input, Crab I feel like your the only one who read my posts and understood.
The fact that there would be new bumps every week being a moot point was the whole idea of my last post!
Mongo's suggestion works while implementing your idea Crab, I will try that out. Thank you.
*edit* I'm not blaming Mongo necessarily for not understanding me, it's probably just as much my fault for not being clear, and I'm a bit frustrated after so much searching! I hope this idea works! (:
Also, hosting rar's on your site would be a totally lame idea and suck up your bandwidth faster than a....something that sucks fast. (: That's too bad you are not allowed to seed on your server, I hadn't heard of that before. Then again, I'm no network admin either.
Just trying to help out :-P. There wasn't gonna be a file anyway, wouldn't have been correct to say there would be.
and you have! trying it out now (:
Really hope it works for you. I've tried the method on some other sites and found it to be a real timesaver! Automates the tiring one-by-one part.
Just so you know, we're having some issues with audio/video downloads at the moment. You might want to wait until we get it straightened out.
So far it has worked like a charm. Had a few errors, but I just restarted them. Amazing advice and will definitely try this out on other sites...last time I used a download manager was in 56k days and it has seemed worthless to me ever since...they sure have come a long way since then!
We're very low income and don't usually donate to sites, but this has been such a service and was such quick help I think we'll have to make an exception.
It's too bad we can't donate directly to you guys though, because I don't think we have a problem with you running off and buying whatever you guys felt like. :P
Would like to at least make up for the extra bandwidth I pulled for grabbing these anyway. Thanks again, I don't know how active I'll be at this site (so many awesome places on the internet...) but I'll try to visit time and again! (:
Glad to help. We're having a number of small issues with the new site, but things are starting to come together.
We never ask for donations :-P, but since you mentioned it, you actually can directly donate to us. Check the footer navigation on any of the non-forum pages for the "donate (http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=14182)" link. It goes straight to our web host, so I can't have any steak dinners with it :lol:
yea, i did find that link! I was looking for even more direct means because I have no problem buying you a steak dinner for assisting and helping make all of this possible. You deserve it!
But I can settle for web host donations I suppose. (:
The updated site looks awesome. Far sleeker than before imo. The browse all button is something I wish the internet would learn about...who wants to load up 50 gazillion pages to see 5-10 results each damn time.
Maybe a warning that it might lock up the computer for a bit with all that loading though? This i7, 5770, 3 gig ddr3 pc choked for a minute after clicking it...but then again, loading around 3000 images and making your pc stumble a bit might be obvious. (;
I'm really glad to see it has helped :-D Happy bumping! By the way, I know what you feel like; when I first got involved with this site, before there being even a forum, I did the same thing; download every bump at first :-P. Sure, there weren't that many, but those were 56k days, so it still took a bit :lol: As crab said, we don't ask for donations :-P but if you feel like it it's appreciated. I apologize if I came off annoying or something at first, had a bit of a long day and didn't want to spend too much time thinking. Again, I'm really glad it's been working for you and if you need any help feel free to write!
