RE: Offical Messenger Plus! Live Torrent
Because 80% of Messenger Plus!' users have no idea what bittorrent is in the first place or know how to install.
At this moment there is no reason to think the download server will go down under the load, it's not like autoupdate is instantly activated anyway. There isn't even a real reason for mirrors.

RE: Offical Messenger Plus! Live Torrent
You'd have to find a reliable public tracker... I don't think there are many... =/
Setting up one dedicated to MP!L would probably take too long.
Anyway, I'm sure some trusted forum members will host mirrors on their own webspace, unless Patchou tells them not to...

This was discussed when version 3.50 was released: Offical 3.50 Torrent.

A torrent is several kb in size and lets people pause the download, relax as they download and have the security of knowing... it's a torrent!

Tada, you win! I just thought it would be fun to make a new one, maybe CookieRevised can see the humour if he views this one day  |

LOL there's a lot of bs posted in that thread, especially by CookieRevised (who appears to be staff or affiliated directly with msgplus!). So many people had no idea what they were talking about.

It is to the dial up users and the ones who love torrents!
Wait, how is it going to be better for dial-up users? if anything it will be slower for them....
Its probally not worth the effort for a 5MB file. |

Obviously it wouldn't be, but it keeps you arguing it! |
