Mordeith Report post Posted December 3, 2003 If you're worried about using up a bunch of bandwidth with the client downloads and patches, why don't you look into bit torrent Entropy? I think this website should give you a bit of an expanation as to what it is. http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GateKeepeR Report post Posted December 3, 2003 Please no, some people are fine with bittorrent, no matter what file they get 100kb/s, but no matter what for me I ALWAYS get 1kb/s, i usually average around 200kb/s on other downloads though =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sander Report post Posted December 3, 2003 There's also a host of people that do know bit torrent. These could get if from torrent while other people get if from your site. At least it would lower your bandwidth.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted December 5, 2003 If one of you would create a torrent thingy, for EL, I'll put the link on the website. But EL is not that popular yet, so I don't think many people will have the client anyway... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted December 5, 2003 I'm willing to setup a mirror of EL for the downloads, but since there are five mirros already I don't know if it is needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted December 5, 2003 Recently we bought eternal-lands.net and I found a webhostign that claims to give unlimited bandwidth. I mean UNLIMLIMITED not UNLIMITED* I even e-mailed and asked, and they said it has no limits, as long as I don't put warez, or spam, etc. The main mirror is that site, I am curious if they can hold true to their promise..
