To add to my previous post, if others are like me and are not interested in the 2-3GB >versions, then wouldn’t it be difficult to build sufficient demand for the higher bitrate >releases?
This was something I was contemplating last night before falling asleep. Would we all be required to download the “lower tier” versions to build up the popularity?
I don’t think the intent is to force anyone to download and seed a version that they don’t want, but it does make sense that the more of us who support the smaller versions, the more likely it is that we’ll get the bigger ones. My preferred minimum is the 8GB versions (and I grab the 22GB when I see them), but I’m lucky enough to have bandwidth that lets me pull the 2GB versions to “prime the pump.”
I have learned to respect his decision to keep doing this + supporting every single one of his fans . . .
Agreed; it takes him way more time to create these files than it does for me to download and watch them, so I’ll play by his rules. This distribution method is already an improvement for me since I prefer torrents to file sharing sites.
I appreciate your understanding guys. I know most of my fans from tehparadox prefer 8gb and 22-23gb releases, but using torrents is a totally different animal to filehosting, keeping larger releases up is much more difficult unless there is awareness and a willingness to help seed, which is why i’m building from smaller 2-3gb releases and seeing how things go. The 2gb Spider-Man: Homecoming release has been very popular and people have been sticking around to seed so i’ve just uploaded a 9gb release. Hopefully that will continue and i’ll be able to move on to a 23gb release.
