Compute! torrent seeders...



Looks like several people completed downloading the Compute! Magazine
Collection today. I'd ask that you please leave the torrent client
open and continue to seed the file (upload the file to others). There
are still many people trying to download it and currently i'm the only
full seeder. It will help others get the file more quickly if users
who have the entire collection continue seeding it to other peers. If
the uploading is slowing your internet connection noticeably, you can
turn down the upload bandwidth. my pipe can handle roughly 54kbps max.
I set the torrent client to 50kbps and it shows no impact on surfing
or downloading.

If you're new to torrents, there's a good guide for how the technology
works, as well as torrent etiquette here....

The gist being that generally it's good to have a 1:1 ratio of
download to upload so you don't just 'leech' the file, but actively
share it with others as well.

Merry Christmas! and hope you enjoy the collection.

Best,
Frank
