I know that Tremulous is for free. I seed to improve the download for others.

Post by: Lava Croft on November 11, 2006, 09:40:07 pm: I'll start seeding too, at a low rate. You can try to ask Timbo (http://tremulous.net/phpBB2/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1) about putting it on the website.

You download your Bittorrent-client at their website (google.com) istall and click the link.

If its a fun question:

STFU

bad idea... encourage people to just download it through their package manager (apt, pacman, rpm, etc).

@Thor:
shutting the fun up :P

Post by: Odin on November 13, 2006, 03:41:56 am: Why? Torrents are far superior in bandwidth terms, and packaging id Software games a bad idea. Just look at the Debian Unstable Tremulous package; it totally rapes the file structure, shooting everything into different directories, making it impossible to manage. The Loki installer is perfectly fine, and runs on all flavors of Linux.
Title: enough interest for torrent
Post by: altarzor on January 29, 2007, 04:08:37 pm: If there is enough interest, the amount of peers will probably grow. Although I can't be sure, because it's not on the site as an alternative download option. For example another game site advises it's users to use bittorrent for downloading their game, but they provide also other sites for a traditional download(ftp and mirrors) if their users can't make bittorrent to work for them.

Agreed. It's probably better to keep tremulous out of the package manager wars for now.

However BitTorrent downloads of the current files available from the main website might help with server bandwidth?
