How is HTTP BT seeding different than ordinary mirroring (assuming the |
| 13 |
server supports Range)? As I don't need to do anything on the server |
| 14 |
side (that's my understanding for the moment at least), is there a |
| 15 |
particular reason why I should care? We (mirrors) are still going to |
| 16 |
serve that same content that we have already agreed to serve. |

If this was just out of courtesy, then sure, thanks for asking, |
| 19 |
apologies for the above, and feel free to add gg3.net to those torrent |
| 20 |
files. |
