Torrents for Alpha Distrubution

Now, I’ve never created a torrent myself, but I think it would be a fine idea to use torrents for alpha distribution, allowing for more people to saturate their upload speed. Also, I have like no faith in mega :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree.

However, with things moving to Steam, this shouldn’t be an issue.

Totally didn’t get the idea from you x3
But yeah, once there is steam it won’t be an issue I guess. My first time participating in a private alpha, no idea how steam will work for one

It should be pretty similar to any other Steam game. You redeem a key, download the game, get new alpha builds downloaded by the Steam client automatically. I don’t see any way this would function any differently other than people can’t go on the Steam store to buy and join you yet because it’s closed.

My ISP gets mad when I use Torrents and sites alike.

They get mad when you Torrent Illegal Items, but using the BitTorrent Protocol for legit items is super useful and totally legal. Its just like anything else, it gets abused.

Ah, good to know. After the 2nd cease desist letter came and some awkward conversations with my parents, I stayed away from Torrents.

Yup…that would be you…downloading things illegally…

Damn, I remember back when I would download Lincholn Park and Eiffel 65 songs back in like 2003.
Limewire isn’t even a thing anymore, is it?

I got it all packaged up in a torrent, actually. If it’s ok with the Devs I can share it until it’s up on steam for whoever still need it.

i think it still is, but it’s either broken, or completely full or viruses.
