This Afternoon
I'm going over to Ben's house. I'm going to be messing around with him and Gus, so don't expect any additional posts today.I would like to mention, though, that I've installed BlogTorrent on my server, so now you can upload to contrapants.org as well as download anything already uploaded. I put Count Monkula up there just to get things started.If any of you don't already have BitTorrent installed, all I can ask is: What's wrong with you?

Install BitTorrent and Azureus.
Hmmm... also, upload the real file to your server and make the .torrent point to it! Otherwise, no one can download it!
dear dougward,
you seem to have disappeared from my comic! please come back (with some witty thingies)!
@ Quiggy: Eh heh, that might help...
@ Gabo: I'll see what I can do.
@ Quiggy: Hmm, I'm not sure I know how to... Nuts. I'll look into it when I have more time.
i am so confused beyond belief...
@Gabo: Simple version - BitTorrent creates a file, which is of the type .torrent. The .torrent is nothing more than a file that points to another file online. Normally, when downloading, people are lined up first come, first serve, to download a file. When they download a .torrent file, everyone accesses it at the same time, and the server is only involved in handing out new pieces. Other pieces are shared between users until everyone has 100% of the file downloaded. The problem is, with no file that the .torrent points to, you can't download anything. See Wikipedia's BitTorrent article for an excellent explanation.
