Title: "I am a PS Seeder" Button
Post by: Alfonso Knaf on June 20, 2006, 02:48:20 am: Well I realized that PS Torrent Seeders are rare, so I quickly made some "I am a PS Seeder" Buttons to inculde in the Signature or elsewhere, maybe this is an appeal to seed PS, have fun :flowers:

But I don't know if there are any copyright issues with the logos...

EDIT: Maybe they could be linked to a guide "HOWTO Seed and why?"
Oh I am sorry for doubleposting ! :oops:

I suggest image shack. ;)

And no it is not my own PC, don't worry, it is a VServer without a domain linked at the moment :-)

Title: Re: "I am a PS Seeder" Button
Post by: twiistedkaos on June 21, 2006, 04:39:51 am: I am willing to seed, but I donwloaded the game VIA http, is their a way I can still seed?
Title: Re: "I am a PS Seeder" Button
Post by: steuben on June 21, 2006, 05:21:24 am: yep get the torrent file and tell to torrent to download to the same directory as the download that you already have.
Title: Re: "I am a PS Seeder" Button
Post by: Alfonso Knaf on June 21, 2006, 11:42:06 am: I think I should clarify my idea behind those buttons.
They were meant for "permanent" seeders (e.g. whenever I turn on my computer I start my BT-client and seed the PS files). Permanent in this case doesn't mean really whenever you start your computer, or connect with the internet, but it should be on a regular basis.
But why?
Well in a good case a community is (at least) growing constantly. That means, that if youe seed the file 1,2 or 3 days after you downloaded it another one (or more people) takes your place and the file is still available via BT.
But it seems to me that thios isn't the case for PS at the moment.
A poll on my german PS-Fan-Site showed that 28% of the voters didn't play PS at all at the moment of voting and 18% played it less than a month.
So my conclusion is, that there is a big (old) core of players and many which only "jump in" evaluate the game and then choose to not play it.
For BT means this thatif the "old" players don't seed on a regular - permanent - basis it comes to a situation as we have it at the moment: a maximum of about 5 seeders...

I hope the idea is understandable.
And if we link those buttons to a guide maybe this will lead people to seeding...

Post by: Baldur on June 21, 2006, 05:07:21 pm: Started seeding today because of this, GL the community I love.

Post by: Rilar on June 21, 2006, 05:25:23 pm: I LOVE THAT IDEA! :thumbup:

It's a bit difficult for me to seed on the laptop, but once I have an own little private server running constantly, I will earn the seeder badge :D

seeding make WoW lag.

Get a better BT Client where you can limit the upload of your seed. Put it to something like 1/4 to 1/2 of your total upload speed and leave it there seeding PS forever with minimun lag/distruption to anything else

For example got my server on all day and started playing the game yesterday. Loving it so I've allocated 20k of upload of my bandwith to seed it forever :D

I recommend utorrent or bittornado (Azurreus is quite good also but I'm not a fan of a heavy graphic program like that)

Post by: LARAGORN on June 21, 2006, 05:41:25 pm: Utorent all the way :thumbup:

I have uploaded just under 10 gig seeding PS :)
