Slashdot Mirror

Torrent is availabe via http://www.filerush.com/download.php?target=the_in credibles-tlr_m480.mov
The bittorrent technology is vastly underused by the the media communities of movie trailers and game demos.

Go to Filerush. Jeez, how do you people not know about this place yet.

Also filerush has one. clicky maxing out my connection at the moment.

... that this isn't an indication of things to come. If you think about it, Steam's entire purpose is based off of bandwidth. Since we're all slashdotters, we're used to destroying a server to oblivion. Instead of the victim being some lowly tech page with a geeky story, this is Valve's bread & butter. It's pretty sad when they're already mired in demand over this pre-load, can you imagine opening day?

I stole the following link from bluesnews' forums, you may want to check it out as an alternative source of getting this HL2 load. Half Life 2 Cache Although, I have absolutely no idea how to inject this in to Steam, it may be an alternative for you bleeding edge gamers that have to have this NOW - even though you can't play it.

I'm torn between buying this at the store (If I can even get a copy) or getting the pre-load off of Steam (If they can even supply it). On top of all of this, I sure hope the actual servers they use for people activating CD keys on opening day is up to par. Otherwise, you're going to have a lot of pissed off gamers.

Supposed release date is September 2nd. I expect to see all of you there, or I will be confiscating geek status from you.

Call me crazy, but BitTorrent seems to have been more widely accepted than other P2P technologies. The programmer of BitTorrent was hired by Valve recently and sites like FileRush are pretty commonly visited by the masses.

No need to go with a more obscure p2p solution. eMule is much more widespread, and there's already a torrent available.

It wholly depends on how many people are downloading it at any specific moment, so when you come back maybe 3 days later, the download speeds drop to a trickle because you're the only one downloading the file now. And nobody leaves their BT clients open longer than it takes to download a file - I'm sorry, but relying on people's altruistic behavior is plain stupid.

And yet... it works anyway.

View it another way: I want to release my new Linux distribution (ChaosDiscordLinux 12.0). I've got my own site to distribute it from, and two guys who are willing to run mirrors.

Option 1: The old school way. I put the files on each site and serve them over HTTP and FTP. The maximum speed I can serve my files at is limited by the bandwidth to those three sites. If I get surprisingly popular, my bandwidth will peg out and things will generally suck.

Option 2: Bittorrent. I run seed the torrent, as do the other two sites. Now, as a worst possible case people who want to download the file are still limited to the bandwidth of those three sites. However, if there are any surges in demand during those surges everyone downloading starts helping each other. End result: at the worst case it's about the same as the old way, but can potentially be good.

Is it perfect? No. But it works damn well. One of the benefits is that it looks and behaves like a simple download manager. Not everyone is interested in the details of being on a file sharing network. I don't want an IRC client, to help distribute searches, to potentially share other files. Bittorrent just makes it work. As an added bonus, Bittorrent requires a certain level of accountability; there is a centralized location to send a DMCA takedown request. This makes it much more palatable for various people squeemish with the generally shady looking P2P services.

I downloaded Red Hat 9.0 months after its release and still found a number of seeds available. It was the fastest ISO download I've ever had. The World of Warcraft beta test is being distributed over Bittorrent and works great. I'm into video games and really appreciate File Rush, which gets me game demos and video footage at lightning speeds. Bittorrent is the only download path I have that regularlly saturates my cable modem.

Don't know if people care since Apple is fast, but here's a torrent: http://www.filerush.com/torrents/the_incredibles-t lr_m480.mov.torrent

In case you hadn't heard, http://www.filerush.com/ has torrents of a lot of interesting E3-videos.

There's a Bittorrent link of Filerush.com of what I assume is roughly the same file - there's also an official HL2 trailer thingy which looks pretty cool.

If you already have the file, please join the swarm anyway, the more seeders we have, the better this will work. To join as a seed, just download the .torrent file and open it in your client of choice as normal, but point the location to save the demo, to the location of your already downloaded demo.

Will people please leave their torrent windows open once they've downloaded the demo. Suggested clients: Official BitTorrent client Azureus Java client
