If you have BitTorrent*, spare bandwidth, and a heart of gold, could you help seed these downloads?

This is the installer for the next version of the game, which we will release in an hour or so. Please don't run the installer until after we release the next version.

You don't -have- to use bittorrent to get this version; the updater will update to it normally. This will just help offload the 5700 x 110 megs of traffic that we need to push out for the beta testers.

It says they'll put the http links up in 24 hours after the beta release. So, I'll leave my seeds up for 24 hours before turning them off to play the game ;)

Aah, I just now saw the news post. Why does this site require me to shift-refresh every time there's a new news post to see it?

I have BitTorrent (though I hate using it; it never works very well for me), but I don't know how to go about seeding them!

(my client is BitTornado)

FYI: Your network admin will most likely have a fit Akai. Most IT departments monitor for abnormal network activity. I hope you're on good terms with them.
