Hello people,
I am talking to the owners and administrators here.
I'll be short and go to the point. I bet that your file server is under constant heavy load, and that file serving costs are your biggest problem. Yet your site is so plain and simple, no nag screens, votes, counters, circular links, porn adverts etc etc etc. That is just for every congratulation! Thank you!
To make my contribution, I suggest you to expand your site functionality with an option to download each item either classical way or trough a torrent system. I suppose that this would significantly decrease the your file serving traffic. But you would have to install your own torrent tracker.
The best part is that you would not need to modify the web site organisation much. This is what I would just do:
For every item, when a user clicks on it to download it, instead of loading an automatic download page, the server would present the user with a choice of A] a direct download link and B] to download a .torrent file. There could also be a little side table showing current number of seeders and leechers and so on. I don't see anything else important that needs to be added of modified.
It should not take you long to figure out how to install a torrent system, and that would be a benefit as much for you as for the downloaders too.
