Hey, id is using bit torrent to distribute their files now. How great is that.

  Yeah, I noticed that too. Pretty damn cool. Should help with the initial crush at least until demand wears off.

  They've done that for a while... Enemy Territory has been available over BitTorrent for quite a while... :)

    Yeah, but from their *internal* zerowing server tracker?
    
    All of their files make their way fast into some tracker somewhere else. But it's the first time I have personally seem them linking to their torrent tracker instead of their ftp dir.

      Yepp, exactly from their internal zerowing torrent tracker. I grabbed ET from there about a year ago, if not more... This link, to be sepcific:

      Although, I guess they moved it now as it four-oh-fours... :)

        Ah, cool, I stand corrected then.
        
        I remember the sdk release though, and their server was pretty much slashdotted, and I thought at the time how better it'd have been if they released it as a torrent. Good thing they made it 'official' for all releases now.
