To torrent, or to not torrent. That is the question.
So after a community suggestion came forward about hosting our content via peer to peer (p2p or torrrents), I got to thinking. I really like this idea as our current system is very unreliable (takes forever to upload), procs some users anti-virus, and once again we are left relying on a third party to host our projects. Now if I set up a torrent with a password, would you guys be interested? Leave a comment below, if your for or against and why. Or you can just vote in the straw poll below.

Bittorrent sync might be a good option, its easy to use and People will easily be able to update the games
I will look into it, thanks. -SmokeShank
I'm fine with torrents, too.
I have no issue with a torrenting system, will make it easier imo. Most people who are going to say no have yet to download a torrent so their ether scared or dont want to put in the effort to find a good torrent program xD
There is this, and also some isp's have upload or bandwidth limits which can be a hassle.- SmokeShank
I have no interest in using any torrenting system, don't force it. Your strawpoll title says "distrusted" btw.
Ya I know lol! I saw it after I already shared it for like an hour (oh well). Thanks for the input Jethro -SmokeShank
Good to know. Then I say try it out and see what feedback you get
You should really opt for both as an endgame. Often torrents can be faster. But long term you'll be seeing people who don't torrent and prefer dl sites due to fears of torrent files in general.
I think your right, right now the poll sits at 2/3rds in favor, 1/3 not. -SmokeShank
Just like you guys had your issue with the DC characters, I've discovered lately that certain production companies are being monitored on torrent sites. As long you use a setup to hide your IP I think your safe; ether way you do it I'm onboard to, just wanted to give you guys a heads up. :)
We both us VPN's so we got the privacy covered, which is an added bonus to using torrents as we don't need a log in on a third party site. -SmokeShank
The more people seed a torrent the faster it will go right? So this would be a good option. Your comics already have torrents on other sites btw, maybe you could set up your own for those too?
Torrent for me is much faster, but I'm on board with either.
I will fallow you to the end of the world my bearded friend. Set up a torrent if you think it would be a better choice.
I've not.used torrents in years. I haven't had any issues with the browser dl. however I can pick it up just fine if that's the direction the rest of the patrons want to go :) -Bru
