Should RomU have a torrent section

For god's sake!

ROMULATION CONTROLLED TORRENTS=SAFE!

I doubt Seph would allow anyone to post their games on it, best option is him and the staff, or approved members only.

And like a download manager, you can continue with the file from the day after ie pause, stop, etc...

Only differance is...well with enough seeds it'll work, if no seeds it's gonna fail...but if we all do our bit it'll be ok.


And you need better internet my friend, even my wireless vroadband goes to 70kbs on a good day

Ok...well I'll support it, even if more people seem to be voting no to it

 

But when this normal download section is gone, where else can I download the NDS games :'(

 

Normal downloads.

Torrents are slower (I expirienced that a while ago). If the normal downloads are interrupted by torrents, where can I get the ROM's?
Also,

 

Torrents are slower here.

Oh, I thought if Torrents were added, the normal downloads were gone.

I use the default settings.

 

Why would torrents be slower here,

You really aint getting to grips with this are you !!?!

We would host them on a torrent site(TPB etc etc) we post the link,then you just download it through that site/tracker.
And we dont need that many seeder per torrent,roughly 10-20,that would optimize the speeds.

Rememeber its only another alternative,you dont have to use it.
It just that some people feel more confortable using torrents(like me),

And torrents are way faster for me then firect downloading(even when the speed isnt capped)
Like at the moment im downloading Oblivion(6GB) at 2500kb(2.5mb) a second

So if you have slow internet ,just dont use em,but a lot of people here will benefit from torrrents

 

Wouldn't the use of torrents here mean less premium members for RomUlation? That would in turn mean less income for RomUlation. I know the use of torrents would be pretty cool, but I don't want Seph spending 4K a month for servers that wouldn't be used as much.

We all know where to get DS ROM's from if we don't like Direct Links...But isn't everyone here because RomUlation offered free direct links for all DS games?

 

think i'll agree with him, though torrents are beneficial for us but i think it'll just be another burden on seph

 

Do you really think TBP is a good idea? And the admin would have to do it. It'd take a lot of time.

 

How can you know the torrents at here are slow if it still haven't been made yet.

Anyway, some people may get benefit from it, some may not.

 

Yeah which is made of fail. If people are going to bad mouth Torrents, then they should actually learn about them first. There is a lovely thing out there, people, which you just so happen to be using, called the internet. It contains a mass of knowledge, we're not going to spoon feed it to you, if you don't understand and can't be bothered to look for the information using google (Which by all means is a very easy feat) then you fail.

 

Oh ya, you're right.
and I'm sure he only use it once.

 

There are ways to give premium members benefits on a tracker, say for example a different ratio check or access to a premium seeding server.

 

Yes, there are different ways. But what torrents from Romulation offers is MUCH more benefits for free users...which would mean even more less incentives to be a premium member.

As much as I'd like to say Free users should get awesome download speeds too from RomUlation, sadly RomUlation doesn't run for free.

 

i want to change my vote.
i thought torrents might take over from direct downloads and i didnt understand how torrents work.
its a good idea if enough people will seed

 

if seph got too much burden on himself maybe he will close the site!!! lol......

 

There would be something that would keep the money generated, I'd think prehaps allowing only premium members to access the torrents would be one such method.


Here is one example.


Free members-1 torrent per week

Premium-as many as they'd like


How does that sounds y'all?
