and i said what i did because streams take up a lot of bandwidth.

when most people think of torrenting, they think of pirating.
that's why years ago you could not run a legit torrent site with most reliable
dedicated hosting providers.

torrents are a great way to save bandwidth for file distribution and game
updating.  unfortunately a lot of people don't forward their ports, or are
unconnectable for othe reasons.
there's a lot of dumb people out there.  when i ran bbstorrents i had people
download all the files 5-6 times. I have no idea why. it's like they didn't know
where the files went.
