Promotions for The Tunnel, selected for the company&#39;s &quot;artist spotlight&quot; program, include a prominent link to a free viewing of the film for all new users installing the software - averaging about 450,000 a day, BitTorrent says. The push will continue for at least a fortnight after the film&#39;s release. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1439#post-8730 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:37:22 +0000 Lee 8730@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Silly idea as it's for 24 hours and the time you end up with hosts, peers and leechers, the period would be over. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1439#post-8729 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 10:13:08 +0000 Archangel 8729@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I wouldn't hold my breath on that one! LOL</p> <p>There are plenty download managers out there that does a great job on large files. But none are more than 100 megs because the latest hosting is being done on a site that only allows up to 100 meg downloads and they are stored for only a short period of time. As they should be because the software is only good for activation the day it is posted here on GOTD.</p> <p>BTW,,,,,You'd be suprised at what level members are at here in the forum. Just follow the links. You'll be suprised and also enjoy alot of the sites they have just like yours. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/1439#post-8728 Fri, 20 Jul 2007 09:36:12 +0000 Frem 8728@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>With all these large download sizes as of late, it might be a good idea to get a BitTorrent tracker running. While not ideal for long-term sharing, BitTorrent is excellent for large files hosted for short periods of time. With a lot of people downloading, it's also faster.</p> <p>If the technical level of users would be a problem, you could offer a small standalone client that fetched that particular days download, ala the World of Warcraft patcher.</p> <p>Just a thought. </p>
