(technically it was 12,000 x 3.1 GB of LOTR2 yes, thats 36 TB > in one day, and guess how much the server served out of that? 0 bits and 0 $$ ). Steps to getting the community to use this: 1) Make a working port. I tried to port bittorrent once, but something (don't remember what) failed to compile. 2) Post to FreeBSD lists to announce your BT mirror when releases are made. Mention why people might want to try it this way instead of using ftp which they already understand and love. If it really is a better method of getting the bits, then some people will see this and start to use it.
