Seeding…

One thing that might work for normal downloading of the file is to split it up into 250 MB chunks and upload it that way. Yes, it's still ungainly, but MUCH less ungainly than the 1.27 GB version.

Also, I was never able to connect to a single seed throughout the process; I simply received the parts I needed from other peers. Go figure… :?

seeds might be choked. i personally only have 3 upload slots. that way everyone gets a resonable 10k/s. (i only have 40 up)

I have 4. One thing that bothers me about bittorrent is that even when uploading, it STILL uses up a ton of bandwidth on my DSL connection. Web pages take at least 10 seconds more to load, and I know it's not my processor or anything.

Yep also sometimes the tracker does not work with showing the seeds your connected to even though you are. Its hard to explain and weird but it works.

usbcd - its not using up any downstream badwidth, but its clearly using all of your avaliable upstream. thats the thing about DSL, they dont give you much upstream. it still makes web pages load slower.

anyways, observe what speed its going at when the internet is being slow, this is probably close to your max speed. then set the maximum upload speed to like 80% of that. i get ~45 up and let people have 25 during the day, 35 at night (you can schedule it in utorrent :D)

Yeah, I don't get much upstream. Some is already wasted on Chrono Symphonic (which I could probably stop seeding, but I'd like to help…), and the rest goes to the other torrents (which consists of only PW at the moment). Knocking it down to 30 kbps should solve the problem (I get anywhere from 35 to 50 kbps upstream, though my theoretical max is 48 according to the connection info page).

hmmmmm, it appears that as I did something to the tracker a few weeks ago its gone boom boom boom boom. I'll fix that tomorrow. But for now, have a http download link. Try not to spread it too much, I cannot take the bandwidth hit too much this month.

<a href="http://pw.gptheatre.co.uk/data/seedfiles/Port Washington [BIG].mp4">Right Click Here And Save Target As For The Big Quicktime Version</a> - 1.3 gig

<a href="http://pw.gptheatre.co.uk/data/seedfiles/Port Washington [BIG].avi">Right Click Here And Save Target As For The Big Xvid Version</a> - 700mb or so

Please only download one for now until I have repaired the tracker.

Im stuck at 70% on the big xvid version. Is anyone able to seed it for a bit? I'd much appreciate it.
