Hoi, The fact that we do not pay now only means that we have to be a good guardian of someone else's money. Money is being paid for the band width. It is good to be frugal because we do not pay now, will this remain the case ??
We are doubling in size regularly so it pays to be good. Thanks, GerardM

Wouldn't offering it as both be a good way to see what users will

Gregory Maxwell:
Users would probably prefer the http/ftp download link option. It's simple, easy and fast.. at least it is so long as we have enough bandwidth to support it.
I don't believe that anyone thinks otherwise. But user preference is irrelevant if the cost of bandwidth causes us to choose to not make such things available.
we don't currently pay for bandwidth at knams (which includes hemlock), so if you want to offer HTTP download as well, i don't see that being a problem.
of course not many people are going to bother with BT if there's an HTTP alternative ;-)
