dizzam.. I get the point!
I see the light I see the light!
heh.. actually, yes, I was just asking a general question. Both have benefits and weaknesses.
I have downloaded a couple of games so far. Most ARE 7 parts or less, but one I ran into had quite a few parts, and I gave up on it for the time being (multi CD game perhaps?).
Mostly, Im just a bit lazy, and dont like to 'attend' my downloading that much. I'll have to change that habbit.
As for having problems, I think that may have to do with still figuring out the methods of joining, etc. (notice I experiment a lot before asking questions. Nothing more annoying than "Hey how do I......" "have you downloaded all the files yet?" "well.. no.. but... "
Mostly, just lamenting the lack of a single unified file. That has more to do with file sharing servers having maximum 100mb file sizes. Torrents would eliminate the issue, but there is the problem of seeds vs leachers... and I suppose most people wouldnt want to leave up cd images of games they leached.
Share ratios are irrelevent in Torrents. Sure, its GOOD of you to keep up a share ratio, but its not like the old days where the BBS knocked you if you didnt upload first.
