I recieved this e-mail about a few hours ago.

Subject: your videos download pages SUCKS!!
dude what the heck i cant down load any of them this bit torrus crap? what the heck why not just link them via sigdat on kazaa or something but man come on. Your Bit torrus crap dosnt work so please drop the crap and just let people download your videos

Well, out of 480 people who dwonloaded, this is the only complaint letter I've got. Nicely phrased don't you think?

If a person doesn't know how to use the Bit Torrent system, he's either an Imbercile, mentally Sub-normal or just can't read plain English. I don't think he's any of that, so I have to asume that he's a file leecher... an arrogant one at that too, the system is designed to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it, you have to upload a certain amout of data to download a certain amout of data, there is no way around this even if you use the hacked client since the Tracker is the one that runs the system and I control it. There will be no file leeching on my watch.

Anyway... even so, I will be adding more Bit Torrent Relay Servers to the system, to improve avalibility and speed. If you need help, feel free to e-mail me or AIM me, do not send complaint letters, I will just totally ignore it or just place it up here as an example.

All this talk about Bit Torrent makes me wish my university's service provider didn't abhor uploads...

I was using bit torrent the other day (My university is the same with uploads) and I was getting close to 100K down but only 6K up. That's great for me downloading stuff, but for people uploading off fo what I have, I might as well be on a modem

Well :O so long as you give a little. You can always just leave it run for a hour or so.

Even @ 6KB/sec that's 21megs in a hour. That still helps.
