« on: August 03, 2004, 09:13:15 pm »

This post will probably be closed when the moderators see it because it sort of a repeat post.

(So I must hurry?)
But in the other post, they said something about this not being a problem because it is all hosted by large download server design to handle this sort of thing, or that is what I got out of it?

Most likely you are referring to someone\'s (I think Vengance\'s?) comment that b/w stress will not be a problem since they have the sourceforge mirror network at their back :) I don\'t know if he factored in that not all mirrors update simultaneously so prdownloads.sourceforge.net may well be swamped by planeshifters (or prospective planeshifters) until another server gets a copy. Oh, well... by that time we will have brought OSDN to it\'s knees and they will have to bribe us with thinkgeek.com merchandise to get us to lay off :D

Oh, yes, and for all you poor uneducated persons out there, remember to get a bittorrent client before the release of the torrents! (Meh, otherwise we\'ll have a good percentage of planeshifters pelting bittorent client download sites...) I strongly suggest Azureus (http://azureus.sf.net/), but you\'ll have to download the Java Runtime environment to get it working (most people have that, I think)

Do you really think there will be many more than, say, 200 ppl. downloading PS initially? 200 would be a piece of cake for the OSDN. Still, torrents would be good if just to keep the strain as low as possible.

I wouldn\'t count on everyone having the JRE, though, but there are many native clients as well.

Yea, there will be alot of people downloading... I think.

I\'ll tell everybody on the forums I frequent regularly.  Good thing I\'ve forwarded my ports so if the downloads do get bogged down I can use the torrent.

I use the offical(I think) Python btdownloadgui and such. I only used it twice, but then I leave it running with a 30KB limit so that I can still use my internet connection until I shut down. Everyone make sure that if you are behind a NAT(almost any firewalling router) you a)redirect ports 6881-6889 to your PC, or b)set up port triggering so that 6881 opens 6881-6889.
