Thanks, Xiagan.  :) I've never torrented before, and knew absolutely nothing about the technical side before Alpha filled me in.

we've used the bittorrent protocol at work on numerous occasions for completly legit reasons. I also host a server that is part of a napster based protocol network that is for sharing patterns and recipies. p2p isn't synonymous with piracy, it is just many methods of transferring files, what you do with it has a subjective slant. I'm not claiming innocence either way but these things should be noted right.

it's not a worry Chibi, just making the distinction. I'm not at all professing my angelic innocence but I have been in numerous situations where p2p usages has been as criminal as jaywalking at midnight.

Gasp @ inkblob

And Xiagan, that'd be awesome, will you put a password on the file and PM the willing (and the ones proven to have the game) the password?

Or was there something like that on the game itself already? I think I remember when I first... 'obtained' the game I had to do something extra to make it work. >_>

I just pm you the link and will delete it after you downloaded it I think.

And yes, you have to type in some kind of serial you got in a mail.

I've wondered about this. I got a key, but I've never entered it anywhere. It has had me a little puzzled to be honest. What is it for? Proof of purchase?

Depends on your version. The new version is DRM-free, so you don't need a key anymore. In the old versions you should've needed it for being able to play it.

an amendment to my earlier description, anyone who dosn't have 100% of the file is a leech and both seeders and leeches are peers. I don't necessarily know my stuff that well  ;)
