How are people getting their slop?

People were posting about looking into setting up a system, but what happened to shammu might have put them off maybe.

The comics people, those people, have weekly torrents containing all the week's releases, since prehistoric times. Just download the files you want from the weekly torrent. Average comic filesize is in the same ballpark as average pod mp3 filesize.

Why not us?

    What is the name of the soulseek guy? I've been trying to find the Antifada bonus episodes to no avail. Setting up weekly torrents sounds like a good idea to me, we should do it.

      podking.

      haven't seen them online recently on there. they were probably a bit overwhelmed with traffic when someone posted their name on here lol.

      Yeah, we should do it.

      a matrix room maybe, to upload the files to, then different people from the room could start seeding the torrent every week from public wifi or tor or whatever.

      edit: could use I2P or DC++ if torrent protocol is too traceable. The important thing is to get a "podpack" torrent of the week's slop into a container and get it out there.

            if you go to the users tab and right click an offline user, there's a selection for "alert when user goes online"
