Just tell him we seriously will hunt him down and kill him if he misses it or takes too long. Tell him that there are tens of thousands of people depending on him. images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Nothing makes a person want to make you wait like showing your desperation. It's true; ever notice when you were a kid and you wanted the ice cream the guy slowed down, and when your in bed the girl says be there in a min then they go to the bathroom, or when your waiting for the urinal the person looks behind and then decides to do an extra shake.

Comon now, you should know that every single bit helps. Everyone should help seed when they're done downloading. images/smilies/wink.gif

But if you're talking about initial seeding (helping get the file out there initally), unless you're on 100mbit, I'd rather you just download and seed like everyone else. The bandwidth is better spent seeding than sending you the file so you can seed. images/smilies/smile.gif

Yeah, cause I am the only one with a fast box right now images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

On release days, my server pushes a full 100mbit up (11.2MB/sec) to ~50 peers at a time. We would love it if people could leave their torrents open as long as possible, for weeks or months even, to keep the files alive.

I download them via FTP. But the way I have UTorrent set up when I have finished downloading the file from FTP I can start the file seeding.... saves my patience!

i live under a 33mbit line, but I do have upload restrictions, but since they monitor IP packages, I can keep changing my IP occassionally. Is there some program that automatically rotates your IP through a preprogrammed list of IPs? That'd help me see much longer.

I should have my 100mbit torrent box back in a couple months (when my friend can afford to pay for his half of the box).
