Timeout
My BT client (rTorrent) always says Tracker: [a timeout was reached]

It seems that I'm although able to share the ISO with other, but I'm still not able to explain this error message. Best regards Kelson 16:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I get that too occasionally, I use Azureus. I think it is a tracker matter (the pirate bay's) and not something we can help. It is rare for me, and goes away the next time it updates w/the tracker mostly. JoeSmack Talk 20:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I think i've gotten that only once, and as JoeSmack said, we can't do anything about it. However, I do get "Tracker does not support multiple hash requests" which we can't do much about. I'm totally against changing the tracker right now, multiple hash scrapes can wait. Nominaladversary 17:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, a link was added here. Best regards. Kelson 12:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Fantastic! Can it perhaps say 'BitTorrent' and not 'P2P'? P2P is rather broad, and 'BitTorrent' is rather specific. This is the Torrent project afterall! :) JoeSmack Talk 13:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * On the other side, they are edonkey links, I think it's right like that. Kelson 13:36, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * sweet, thanks for the link Nominaladversary 17:40, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Pear to Pear, is that misspelled, or is it just me? eMule support isn't very big right now, it might not even exist at some points during the day, time will tell. Nominaladversary 19:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Getting busy?
I wanted to see how things were going here. An AP story has appeared in a lot of newspapers and websites today, for example this, I was wondering if you're seeing a spike in downloads. Or maybe the BitTorrent world works via word of mouth? I've mentioned the BitTorrent whenever I've had a chance to talk about the release, but I haven't seen any explicit mention of this in print yet. I wanted to make sure that you had enough seeders etc ready if there is a sudden rush of interest. Thanks, Walkerma 03:24, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Seeds and peers for the no compressed version has jumped a few. I've noticed my bandwidth demand as a seeder has been a bit higher lately since yesterday, but nothing door busting yet. JoeSmack Talk 05:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Weeeell, we've just had the torrent slashdotted: . They are using Nominaladversary's torrent link via Googlepages, hope it can withstand the power of a good chunk of people. I don't think googlepages has a bandwidth limit, so we'll see. JoeSmack Talk 18:17, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * OH my...A lot of leechers...a lot. A massive spike, have you guys seen TPB site? The ISO had over 100 leechers at one point. About googlepages, it should be fine...google will probably be nice enough. Many thanks to Walkerma and JoeSmack for spreading the word! Nominaladversary 19:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The .iso has about 90 seeders and 120 leechers, however the .bz2 only has 5 seeders and about 16 leechers. That is a lot of people!! Nominaladversary 22:35, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have uploaded 25 GB this night :) Kelson 07:26, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Alright Kelson! :) Right now i'm seeing about 156 seeds and 45 leechers. This is great! JoeSmack Talk 13:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess, we can now say, your Torrent project is a very useful and successful idea :)... Congratulations Kelson 14:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I wish I could take credit for it, but there were a lot of people who grew this thing from infancy that aren't me and got it to where it is now (including you!). So, congrats to everyone involved! :D JoeSmack Talk 14:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Impressive numbers! Thanks to everyone who is uploading/uploaded. The feedback from slashdot was well received. People posted how this would help places without internet or poor resources. One commenter went to burn the iso to cds to give to the local middle school. Good idea. Thanks to everyone again! Nominaladversary 19:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Seeders
The number of seeders will decline as the number of leechers goes down. How many would we need for a solid, reliable, and fast download 24/7? 25? Nominaladversary 18:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
