I think the real bottleneck is the initial seeder's upload bandwidth. Lets say Tim can only upload at ~50 K/s which is normal for cable. If he serves it to 3 initial downloaders he's only giving around 16-17 K/s upload, meaning it would take around 46-47 hours to download (assuming the swarm speed is low, which it would be with only 4 people total in the swarm). You'd have to wait nearly 2 days more so you could get that initial group of seeders to feed the larger group.

The initial seeder sends different bits of information to everyone and with a huge swarm, the missing pieces get spread around rapidly. If a hundred people are trying to download off of Tim it is still faster than if only 3 people tried to get the file before everyone else does.

Bittorrent is horribly inefficient so it never works out as nicely as we'd all like it to. Everyone has different bandwidth amounts to allocate, different settings dictating how many upload slots they can allow, and some people just don't seed (bastards).

The only real solution is if we all chipped in and bought Tim a 100 MBPS line costing him thousands of dollars a month (not to mention he'd have to get his house and property zoned as a commercial lot). OR - we could just wait the 6-10 hours it takes to get the game.

Great explanation. I'd be willing to get my house zoned if you guys flip the internet bill... :biggrin:

Demonoid's tracker is offline today for some reason but don't give up folks. If your client supports DHT and/or peer exchange you can still connect to others but at a reduced speed.

Since Demonoid is located in Brazil I think it would be a good idea to add an alternate tracker.

The links are there, but the torrent is dead. It was hosted on Demonoid and Demonoid has been shut down. Anything hosted on their servers is not available. aaaaaaaahhhh!

Dude. Calm the fuck down. The NU torrent, and all of the 2007 torrents links on the wiki, are hosted on pimptorrent.com. I was just now able to download the torrent file. Pimptorrent is tracking it, NOT Demonoid.

Heck, most if not all the links on the wiki are Pimptorrent links.

Umm, ok. Must be me then. I'm able to download the torrent file, but not connect to the tracker. My client is giving me this tracker information for the NW game: inferno.demonoid.com:3414

I'm having the same problem as previous poster . When I right click on the torrent then click show details for the NU game the tracker url says inferno. demonoid.com 3414/announce
then on tracker status it says Connection Error(Connect Exception:Connection Refused:connect)
I don't need to download as I'm already done with the NW game I noticed the problem when trying to seed.
All my torrents list inferno.demonoid.com as my listed tracker
Can you change your tracker or is there a fix for this problem? I clicked on help in Azureus Zuze and found no help that I understood. I hope we can solve this problem before the next game is ready to download. Thanks guys for any and all help .

From Torrentfreak:

Demonoid.com, one of the most popular BitTorrent trackers has allegedly been taken offline by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA). Both the tracker and the website have been unresponsive for nearly 24 hours now.
