Truecrypt 5.0 Release Date Set - FEBRUARY 4th

Fano - the TrueCrypt main server is in the US, but the developers are in another time-space continuum stream......

 

No idea. You would think they would have learned from the ESET fiasco, but I guess not. Nothing pisses me off more than when I release date, which was set by the company, is missed.

 

That's why a lot of companies never use release dates. It is better to have a good product then to rush it out, but yeah, bumping the release date by 1 day seems like the kind of move you would make if you were sure it wouldn't take longer.

We might soon see:

Next release 5.0 scheduled for: Tomorrow

 

Well, its possible people are starting to equate quality with time it takes to be delivered.

The longer the delay, the higher the quality. Just look at Microso.. uhm. Maybe thats a bad example.

I just hope their forums come back online when its released.

 

Actually it doesn't. If you're not sure about release date you better don't give out any. Or just partial in weeks time. Not to move them day by day. That pisses ppl off badly.

 

Indeed it does. Esspecially when it's a specific date. A month in general is better, but still ... it gets old.

I'm betting it's worth the wait though!

 

Herndon, VA.?
I'm glad you're not the GPS in someone's car!

Edit: Sorry, responding to vapors.....

 

Maybe because we don't pay them enough for their hard work.

 

I can't get on the TrueCrypt website right now ... could this be it?

 

TrueCrypt's website has just gone down. Its timing out, so I'm going to wishfully think that v5 has been posted and now everyones downloading. Can anyone confirm it?

 

I doubt the demand was so high that it would shut down their server that quickly. My guess is they willfully took it offline to do some updates and it will be back right quick with version 5.0.

 

Such a suspense...

They may be flooded by everybody refreshing the page

 

either the sites slow because everyone on the planet is checking it, or they are uploading new content..... Where is 5.0 ?

 

Forum is actually "down" not "sorry we are not working blah blah" its actualy "down" as "error 404"

 

For meh it's taking too long to respond, not 404.

 

No 404 here, just timing out. It's been 3 hours of nothing.

 

Ok I"m back what did I miss...what Truecrypt 5 is still not up. oh well...Truecrypt 5 would make a nice Birthday present..and tomorrow is my birthday.

The Truecrypt forum has been down since about November 20 2007.

 

Well, the Forum has been out of service for near a month now I believe, if not longer, with a message saying its closed for maintenance or a similar message. Tonight around 8:15EST (3 hours ago) the entire site appears to have fallen off the face of the net.

Their sites, www.truecrypt.org and forums.truecrypt.org, are both timing out in my browser, yet are still pingable with 40-50ms ping times. I guess that shows the site isn't timing out from heavy use. I checked their SourceForge project area, and its still in place, but has no downloads, instead referring back to their main web page.

Guess I'll just have to check on it again tomorrow.

 

It's here! Download now!

 

WHOoOOoOO released

 

Downloads are slow, but I'm going to post it to my p2p as soon as its done. (Gnutella v1/v2 and E-Mule. I use Shareaza myself.)

Filename is Windows Version is: "TrueCrypt Setup 5.0.exe"

 

I am trying to delete 30gb of data from a partition encrypted with serpent, and its taking FOREVER... litterally the timer is stuck on 27 mins... FOREVER, man i never had this problem before, shift + delete = deleted in 10 seconds. Now this is taking tens of minutes. i would mention it in their forum but ITS DOWN...

I cant download the normal previous version now to delete my files because the page says

Error: The requested file might have been removed, had its name changed, is temporarily unavailable, or never existed.

So im stuck with 5.0 where i cant delete files....
