To your first point, sending out the torrent by mail to the other MTT-Members:
Think that doesnt help to spread the word, a posting in the forum would alert the MTT AND normal users
and if u use the emailed torrent you dont add up numbers to your linuxtracker.org account (just a minor thing, but ...)
To "super-seeding", yes nice thing, i would use it when deluge or ktorrent would have this option, dont wanna use Azeurus cause it uses up a lot of computer-power.
[edit] found this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-seeding
Super seeding transfers stall when there is only one downloading client. The seeders will not send more data until a second client receives the data. To avoid this, rTorrent continues to offer more pieces to the peers without waiting for confirmation, until it is uploading at its configured capacity[1]. This improves the upload speed until enough peers have joined the swarm, at the cost of not being able to detect cheating peers. It is not known if any other implementations use a timeout or other solution.
Hmm, will this rTorrent ...
I do know we've had a lot of activity with the two new Mepis betas and Danum's KDE4-remaster. My total upstream bandwidth is only about 50kB/s, and I've been seeding almost full throttle much of the time since they became available at Linux Tracker. Maybe some other members will weigh-in on how they feel about this. I do feel as though, as I said once, before on this forum, that we are somewhat of an "embattled cult."
