Blizzard uses torrents all the time for all of their patches, but covers it with a nifty little exe file. If we were to do this, it might work.

Why isn't the file on SourceForge.net? we are open source, I think we even have a project there, tons of servers and bandwith for free from what I know.

p.s. may also benefit from extra trafic of noobs ^^.

If you have a resnable reason why not to use it I will spare a URL mayslef ^^.

p.s.s. The simple form of round robin script may suck badly if we don't prequalify, check, ect, if u have to retry to download.........

RapidShare could also provide a nice URL altough just free as in beer.

I probebly can come up with some more idea's ^^.

What is our download count/bandwith for that anyway?

How do I sade this edit ^^?

We're not open source AFAIAA. Microsoft holds the rights to the code, they have just given permission for us to use it in a non profit way. I don't think we are allowed to host it on source forge as Source forge is for truly open-source projects.

A few test for free file hosting options:

(reducing time from TE on checking stuff out)

File upload sites:
*rapidshare
http://rapidshare.com/files/175148709/Alle..._Setup.exe.html

* This take a lot of upload time for me so will be added by edit when files are up

I'd rather host the thing on my 100-megs Google Pages hosting than having to resort to rapid@#(!.

Isn't the setup.exe about the whole installation?

I have a couple servers up on dedicated lines. I'll see if it's within the terms of use.
