.info Torrent Tracker [VERY BETA!]
« on: March 29, 2007, 11:16:08 pm »
soo....

the official word from the powers that be about releasing the Switch Up show was, .info = ok; rest of intraweb = not so much.

so i knew of a torrent tracker product for vbulletin, and i\'ve been thinking about hooking it up for things just like this. figured with the Switch Up show, i may as well give it a whirl..

i don\'t expect it to get too much use, but it will be good for when things like this pop up. perhaps we could get the ok to even release some of the old Diesel Experiments here...

the installation is VERY barebones right now. basically just enough to get the Switch Up torrent up and moving. i\'ll be working on a lot of the other bells and whistles tomorrow.

please note that this is NOT a public tracker. it\'s also not for just anyone here to upload anything. the purpose of the tracker will be strictly for breakfast-related shows that are to remain in our community.

soooo.. go hop on the Switch Up torrent in the Score forum, and i\'ll have more on this whole thing tomorrow. bed time for now.

Dave. Tim gave the OK on some of the Diesel Experiments I have and they were very popular at bt.etree.org. The Zappa Experiment was a big hit there.

Also if you ever want to just upload to the server for direct download you can do that as well. I can either give you access to my personal space or you could just upload it to .info No worries there.

thanks mike.. i may take you up on that, though ideally, i\'d like to get the BT thing fully working, just to promote the idea of sharing a little bit more. plus the fact that it\'s something that is fully integrated with the forum is a good thing.

but i dunno.. at the moment it\'s barely working -- just enough for people to upload/download. i\'m going to be working on it, but it\'s quite possible that i have vbulletin too heavily modified and it\'s not playing nice with something. we\'ll see though..

Great work, Dave.

And speaking of releasing Diesel Experiments, what about some Naked Society/Mokijam?
