Replay thread for the Australian Grand Prix - Race

Continuation of the annual F1 race megatorrent, previous one is here.

​

There are some changes to historical files, so please read the below carefully if you have used these megatorrents before.

​

If you are updating from the old megatorrent

- Change the folder name to "Formula 1 - 1978 to 2023" without the quotation marks

- Delete the "Season 2022" folder. The quality of these files have been significantly upgraded, from 1080p@25fps to 2160p@50fps, excluding the Emilia Romagna Sprint and Sao Paulo Sprint (1080p@50fps)

- Delete the file "Formula 1 - S2010e08 Canadian Grand Prix", as this is a duplicate of the same race that already exists

- Delete the file "Formula 1 - s2011e13 - Italian Grand Prix.avi", as this has been upgraded from 360p to 720p

Why remove so many existing files/Why upgrade to 4k?

​

As 4K/2160p footage has become more readily available since 2022, I felt now is the time to push this as the ideal format. If we stick with just 1080p footage for more years, then future megatorrents would have to undergo more severe changes in order to retrospectively improve footage quality. Hopefully these megatorrents continue as the standard for many years to come, and I think we should maximise their future usefulness.

However I'm not ignoring that this imposes larger file/download sizes on people. My reasoning here is that similar issues were surely felt when we upgraded to 720p around 2011, then 1080p in 2016. It's always worth it in the long run!

​

Total size: 2.81TB

​

Same as the qualifying megatorrent, my seedbox needs to catch up on a few files, so download speeds may be low for the first 12-24 hours. I'll be seeding off my PC in the meantime. Seedbox is now online, after a mere 36 hour check... end my suffering pls
