Just have to wait for me to finish getting a tracker and the torrent sorted ;) It's difficult to do it remotely when all your download bandwidth is being used downloading the file, everything takes 2x as long to do ;)

could you just upload the torrent file on suprnova and post a link so everyone has access to it? i'm dying to start downloading this episode! and quite a few people already have the file!

PM Me for the slot.

I don't want to go over on my bandwidth usage.

OK, i've got my seeding problems sorted (installed BT on my server) so it should be uploading now, it didn't like the fact that I was trying to seed to a tracker on my own network i think :)

Speeds should increase for some people now ;)

Hey, come on now people. Will the person on RoadRunner, IP 65.29.xxx.xxx please set your client to upload. You've downloaded 35mb and uploaded nothing.

This cannot work if people do not set their clients to upload. If you need to, use something like ABC or another client, and throttle your upload to ~5k/sec below your maximum upload speed for your connection, this will stop the connection from feeling "laggy" but still allow you to upload.

I'm on roadrunner and my ip is

But i'm not on it tho. I was on it for like 10 sec to see which speed i was getting to see if i can offer several more slots i have available.

Does it still show it as connected ?

I saw you connect briefly, but then went off without showing anything as uploading/downloading.

This is someone who has downloaded now 40mb but not uploading anything, which really ruins things for everyone :(

Get something like ABC and set the Global Upload Settings to ~5k/sec less than what your connection will handle, and it shouldn't make any difference to your downloading/browsing :)

Well, i say that because I've noticed if I let it use unlimited upload bandwidth, it will slow my connection down, and make it really laggy, hence why I say to limit it :)

yea i'm on the experimental and I can.
I still have some bandwidth left.
I guess they rather download from BT.
it would probably be better if they just got it from my host and share.

maybe for one or two people. but when you're tryign to reach loads of people (for e.g. hundreds of people), BT is better!! just makes more sense and reduces the stress upon one person.

no "ATOT" effect

Just ban the jerkoffs who are just leeching.

We won't mind. It's not like it's hurting us anyway. :p
