Re: downloads

It depends on the amount of people who are downloading. If a lot of people are downloading at the same time, it won't be a problem. With your site, you shouldn't have a problem with people not downloading files (seeing as it's so popular that it took down a website). Heck, maybe even for the older chapters there will be people downloading.

But I'm not sure of the exact number of people who come to your site so consider my suggestion for a poll ...

Anyways, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. I just think it would benefit you if you did, but if you think that the general visitors at Mangascreener wouldn't be able to handle it, don't use it then I guess.

Ok, I read that message on the other board by Don.

For older releases, this might be a problem, but I doubt anyone would be downloading those in the first place.

For all the new releases, it would not be a problem, I definitely think you have enough visitors to keep this problem from ever happening.

Mainly because it relies on the goodness of other people, and like was said about it in the feedback forum, there are people, most people who just turn it on to download, but then don't share... hmm sounds like its bound for frustration, and too much trouble to deal with.

Ah, that's what the beauty of BitTorrent is. Basically if you want to download you HAVE to share while you're downloading (I guess unless you're using the experimental client). Yes, most people will close it after they're done, but they've already contributed since BitTorrent will share the parts of the file you're currently downloading. This is the main reason I'm high on BitTorrent; you HAVE TO share as long as you're downloading.

The more people downloading the file, the more places BitTorrent can get the file from. And the other beautiful thing about it is it's simple (acts just like a normal web download) and there's no lines to wait in (like in IRC). :D I should help save a lot of bandwidth on new release downloads.

It's really up to you tho whether or not you like it.
