According to VLC the original seems to be stereo.

Sorry 'bout that. I've now poked a hole at the right port in my firewall and hopefully fixed the list of trackers, so try re-downloading the torrent file and try again.

Ok, I'm now seeing one seed (myself), and 7 peers (2 of them
connected), and it is uploading to those two connected peers. So all
should be good now.

Kinda slow ATM as I'm seeding this from a home-class cable internet connection, but of course, being torrent, the download speeds should improve for eveyone as more data gets transferred out.

Sound seems fine to me.  "If you can't stand listening to YouTube videos because of the audio quality... you might be an audiophile."

And the vid quality is great.  Love the multiple camera angles.

Nothing wrong with audio quality on youtube these days. This is a more specific problem.

The uploaded version appears to be mono (or at least left and right identical). This conversion is probably the cause of the strange hollow effect, particularly noticeable in the applause.

It's no big deal but it might be nice to get sorted so as to present the most professional product possible.

This is awesome, the video is a great quality.

By cons I agree with the last point raised by the audience on the relative weakness of the documentation. I follow the D intermittently and I think the online documentation has improved, although it is not enough. With a friend we works on a project and sometimes it's hard to find what we are looking for.
I find tools are generally very good, MonoD and VisualD works very well and support of debuggers.

We hope to make a good contribution by the development of a GUI library.
__traits are amazing, it allows us to generate a lot of code automatically. We still have to work one the kernel of our library before making a first public prototype.

Hey thanks. I was going to do that myself. It would be even better if the torrent contained the original video. Is it available for download somewhere?
