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
