SEED the torrent.. please!!!

simono on 2007/09/15 10:43 of RTSimple

maybe I'm late or nobody dl'ed the offical torrent, but it has only got ONE seed... that can not be true. dl'ing from the site is definitly faster and it shouldn't be.

So please if anybody could startup their finished torrents... you could for example at least let the torrents run while you're testing the games or smth like that if you are concerned with upload-bandwith. I dont want to wait for 4 days.

Also: are the unofficial torrents any faster?

ps.: The seed is from argentinia and so is the other peer I'm downloading from. Thank you.

I wasn't able to connect to the official torrent, but the onoficial ones worked pretty well. (btw, can someone recommend a good bittorrent client, the default one for ubuntu is lousy, and I haven't found any I like yet)

I also couldn't connect to the official torrent anyway (got a message saying that the client couldn't connect to the tracker), but the unofficial torrent worked fine (and turned out to be better-suited to my needs anyway---I'd already downloaded a bunch of the games from the site before trying the torrent, and the unofficial torrent has the games packaged as separate files inside the torrent so they can be downloaded individually, whereas the official torrent is a monolithic zip file).

The presence of both an "official" and "unofficial" torrent can't be helping things :(

The unofficial torrent is set up in a somewhat friendlier manner, as I mentioned above---I know that even if the official torrent had been working, I'd have been much more tempted to use the unofficial one. Also, a torrent containing a single zip file is much less convenient to continue seeding, since one has to keep the zip around in order to be able to seed it, whereas with a multi-file torrent, any of the files the user hasn't fiddled with yet are still there and can be used for partially seeding the torrent.
