You heard it here first…

by taoski on July 3, 2006

A while ago I wrote a post on my views of the future of the Bittorrent network in response to an article by Dave Winer.

In my post I outlined a service where you could subscribe to a web based interface and manage/download your torrents from. Once they were downloaded to the web server you could then get access to them via a direct HTTP download.

If a user could sign into a website and select a torrent from a list to download and then have the website download the torrent file for them into a folder held on that website - then that would make life alot easier. The user could sign off the site and still have the torrent downloading for them. People could be forced to share the files back to a preset ratio and also, locally held completed copies of the torrents could be made available immediately to the user and then seeded back too.

Two such sites have appeared today on the del.icio.us popular list and appear to offer that functionality.

TTorrent.net provides a 3 tier paid service allowing different storage sizes and number of simultaneous downloads.

Silence Is Defeat offers a basic 50mb service via an array of access methods (web, FTP, SSH etc). The basic sign up fee is only $1 via PayPal.

Personally, at the moment I would not use either of these options.

Yes, I like getting my torrents quickly and for those people that suffer ISPs that use traffic management or port throttling then this may be the best option for them. Ttorrent.net’s maximum service is 15gb storage and up to 15 simultaneous downloads for $25.29 per month or $202.68 for the full 12 months. Quite a lot really! SilenceIsDefeat have the better idea of lower (donations) charges but offer lower disk space. If a site introduced a service that charges a flat monthly rate - say $10 and offers 20GB storage which is cleared down at the end of the month, or a monthly bittorrent bandwidth quota, then this will get my vote.
But what it does mean is that the services will be seeding the torrents longer than a client may do, which makes it better for us in the long run!

I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate burning holes in my pocket,
and I want to get the most bang for my buck.

Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages:

http://tinyurl.com/38sojf

This is where you’re going to find the “latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers” from
Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper.

Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays.

You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some
Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts
there as low as 75% off sticker price.

Hi

Here’s a interesting video I created to show off the dervishs dance from the Guild Wars Nightfall weekend.
The dance the dervish does is the same one that Christoper Walken did in the clip for Fatboy Slims’ - Weapon of choice music video (hence the music used)
