Rob, this is a good question. If a torrent file was to be posted somewhere, like the mp3s were, could we connect to it and run it with all out clients doing the torrent things or is a central system required to control the interaction??
 
This way we could just post a torrent link somewhere for just 'workers and the rest of us can start out torrent clients and share it.

Thanks Fabien, I can't see any problem with that ... it's hosted privately, and it's just advertised inside Powderworks.  That looks like "inside PW" to me.
The Good Old Boys will let us know if it's otherwise, but I can't see it being so.

(Versus FTP) Can't torrents (both the media file and the .torrent file) be hosted privately as well without a problem?  I see torrents as the apex technology for altruistic dispersal of large files, since the root idea with torrents is about spreading the bandwidth load so that the original distributor of the files doesn't pay a heavy toll in upload costs.  I don't see any philosophical problem with "torrents" as a transport mode ... however, even though Dime is very well behaved as a torrent community and host, it is not "private", being public and searchable.

Salut !

I put the MP3s here :




So anyone on the list can take it and it's private. If there is a problem with that i will delete it. It's just for fans !

I'm in the process of sorting out FTP distribution with Oilman. This way we can keep things private, as the Office request.

Hi,

In line with the request from The Office, I've sent a deletion request for my torrent. It'll go down sometime in the next few hours.

Since the MP3 links are confined to PW members, I'll leave those up for now. Please keep them to yourself.
