this is only a test
In an attempt to address the crappy upstream bandwidth I have, I am thinking about switching over to using BitTorrent. Upload bandwidth will be crappy for the first couple of people who download, but will get better for each successive person *assuming you all leave your torrent files open* for as long as possible (days, maybe weeks). Check out their web page or their Wikipedia entry for more information about how it works.
As a test, I'm making the last November archive available by BitTorrent now:
the Vinyl Frontier, 30 November 2004 [playlist]
If you download the file, please email me at torrent AT f a l s e c o g n a t e . o r g and let me know:
# whether it works at all
# what kind of connection your computer is sitting on
# how many peers you are able to connect to
# how long you can leave open your torrent files
