Ideally, will the planned download format be torrent for say the latest 3 episodes out and http for all of the older ones?
I mean torrent is a great method of file transferrence but it only really works when constant demand exists. Even the most generous of seeders can't host indefinately. So perhaps the arduous task of maintaiing seeds and such could be limited to providing quality on the most recent episodes. From what I gather, everyone here is already counting the seconds until episode release anyway, and will have quickly in the early stages of the site downloaded all the backlogged episodes. Then when http is up I suppose we can all contribute towards the purchase of say twin 250GB's for the server to hold the http archives.
I apologize if this is obvious or completely unacceptable....
