I guess it would be a good idea to distribute via torrents from the start... at least for the first couple of days after a major release.

Seems the FfH2 fanbase is a little too big for gameflood to handle
 
I've got 4 hours or so on mine, and I have almost 4 megs downloaded. I have a fast connection, so that probably helps. It's still going to take a little while.

edit: capn, just go to here http://www.mininova.org/tor/1436210 (might have to refresh) and click the pTorrent link which will get you a free bittorrent client.

Yeah, I thought about it again and checked mininova and there it was, I've already got utorrent, and it's coming down fine. Really, I think relying on gameflood is so yesterday now, we will probably want to start distributing it through torrent always, collectively our FFH fan bandwidth is way better than their petty little servers.
 
I've got about 45 minutes or so on ETA and 12 % complete, and I started maybe 10 minutes ago. I guess if you have a fast connection, it will go quickly. So whoever said 5 hours, I beat ya, lol.
 
It's kind of flunctuating between 70 kbs and 115 kbs, then again, I am on wireless which does slow down the transfer a little (depending on location), but still fast. It actually peaked up to 160 just now. I'm not sure what is causing the flunctuation, but still.
 
cool .. complete download in 25min ...now seeding

and playing ^^
 
Well thats automatic. You can increase number of slots for peers in your programs settings however.
 
ETA is about 20 min or so, and I already started the upload (which is the seed I guess).

Well, you always upload the parts of the file that you already have. You become a seed when you have the complete file and just upload it to others. :D
 
For the moment at least, there is only 1 Torrent out there. Kael's main reason for not liking Torrent as a Distribution method is that it would be too easy for someone to slip a virus into the package and upload it, claiming that it is legit.

I would request that someone posts a checksum (md5 or whatever type you prefer) as an attachment so that people can verify their copy is indeed only what would have come from Gameflood. That should help ease some potential fears people might have.

(That said, thanks for torrenting this. I've always had issues with GF myself, though I do get it eventually. Just wish I could run my torrent program at work :()
