A downloads is the number of how many times the torrent has been downloaded according to its tracker record
A seeder is a peer that has a complete copy of the torrent and still offers it for upload. The more seeders there are, the better the chances are for completion of the file
A leech is usually a peer who has a negative effect on the swarm by having a very poor share ratio - in other words, downloading much more than they upload. Most leeches are users on asymmetric internet connections who do not leave their BitTorrent client open to seed the file after their download has completed. However, some leeches intentionally avoid uploading by using modified clients or excessively limiting their upload speed. The term leech, however, can be used simply to describe a peer - or any client that does not have 100% of the data
A peer is one instance of a BitTorrent client running on a computer on the Internet that other clients connect to and transfer data. Usually a peer does not have the complete file, but only parts of it, however, peer can be used to refer to any participant in the swarm (in this case, also known as a client). Note that the colloquial definition of peer is anybody, leech or seed, involved in a torrent
A health (or avaiability) the number of full copies of the file available to the client. Each seeder adds 1.0 to this number, as they have one complete copy of the file. A connected peer with a fraction of the file available adds that fraction to the availability, if no other peer has this part of the file. (ie. a peer with 65.3% of the file downloaded increases the availability by 0.653, when two peers who both have the same 50% of the file downloaded and there is one seeder the availability is 1.5)

Note: Unlike other torrent indexes we find more trackers for a torrent and put them sorted by seeders into the torrent upon every download. This should improve download speed. Extra trackers marked with '+' sign. If you have problems with this then let us know.
I got this from another torrent, but one of the components in the ZIP archive was corrupted. I found that component separately, and fixed the ZIP archive. I am re-seeding this fixed version, for your edification.
It is an oldie RPG of sorts, with VGA graphics; you will probably need to get DOSBox to run this game. But never mind, this is a classic!
Dont think it is fake as such, it is about right for dune 2000 though, like El Jafar said, most wont remember the true dune original

Original Dune on the underdogs :)
It's the CD version, which includes some "high-tech" video and sound. The basic game is still the same, as is the gameplay.
BTW my network went down yesterday, so sorry that I didn't get a chance to seed it for very long after I posted the torrent! I'll try to keep online a bit longer this time...
The cd version of the games came with rendered 3d movies for the "flight scenes" instead of sprite "animations" and also some advanced sound, I have the original Cd here and it is about right with 182 megabytes.
I like the floppy version animations better tho, but the size is right for the cd version.
koshman,
There are sounds for the game's effects, for the cutscenes in the "book", for transition animations -- like travel and battle, for the dialog lines, and for the menu screens as well. In fact, you can turn off on-screen text baloons, and play the game with sound only (everything that is "said", is also spoken outloud.)
So yeah, it pretty much has a soundtrack (unless you meant something else by your question?)
Geldethi ur a knob its the origanal dune, not dune 2000 which is a copy of dune2 the battle for arrakis and u all_taken, if u dont know what u are talking about than dont post KNOBS HAHAHAHAHAHA! there are so many idiots on the web.
So this is the original dune by virgin games? I've got a version and its 1.82mb 2.12on disk, has sound but doesn't talk, runs without dosbox. I'm gonna get this out of curiosity.
