Early podcasts, second try

By Dave Winer on Saturday, March 20, 2010 at 9:00 AM.

Earlier this month I uploaded a BitTorrent archive of early podcasts from late 2004 and early 2005. But I made a mistake in configuring the trackers for the torrent file, and it never really worked. Still learning. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Here's a new version of the torrent, with a lot more trackers. I have it downloading from one of my servers now, but could use a few more seed. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I'm taking advantage of my mother's FIOS connection to get this booted up. It really helps to have a big pipe going up. It's much much fatter than the Time-Warner connection I have in Manhattan. <img src="> Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Update: I just tested it on another laptop and it's not finding the seeds. Must be doing something really dumb! :-( Permanent link to this item in the archive.
