Hello,
we will soon release public fly-through for Miner Wars. It will be available for download from our server but if you are willing to mirror this file, please write to info@keenswh.com so we can link to your mirror from our download section.
File size is about 600 Mb, but it will grow, probably to 2 Gb.
Thanks!
Marek

Could there be a smaller, internet only cliant - where there is only the autodownloader, and it uses the net to download the larger file? Thus making the download only 20 Mb or so... and then you download it later, I would put this on my thumbdrive and take it with me...

I would reccomed mirroring it through gamearena
This would probably introduce to large groups of bandwith scrouges as people with bigpond connections get free downloads from here.

You should serve it on bittorrent. This will also expose it to a larger audience than might otherwise see it, for free.

I don't think so, I think most of the stuff you get off of it is.

Ok wel if that is the case. It would be wise not to put a mirror on this site since it can be associated with illegal download activities.

nah it would be fine...
supporting illegal downloads would be if you place a link to a torrent that allows you to get/play copyrighted material without proper payment.
placing a link to the setup wouldn't be supporting illegal downloads...

You shouldn't drive either because a car could be used in crimes.

I'm still a bit sceptical about it. Anyway in the end, it is not up to me to decide :)

Well whether or not you want it, the installer will probably end up on a torrent site eventually. It just happens over time.

Guys,
torrents are fine for us. There is nothing illegal about them. I think bittorent site now works completely legal - but I am not sure.
In fact, MemoryThief offered help with putting it to torrent.
Plus torrent might be easier to download for some people with bad connectivity or something.
makakoz - megaupload is fine, thanks for the offer :) We will release exe file on Wednesday, so after you upload it please just post here the link. Actually this is quite funny, because some people will download it only because they think it's warez or something :)

If we are going with torrents then I have a server that is up 24/7 that I could use to help seed the torrent. I just don't have great upload bandwidth here, so I wouldn't want to be a singular source or else it would be verrrry slow for everyone.

Ok Guys, I was away all yesterday, there as an Avocado Festival in my small town...
To clear things up, I WILL host the bittorrent. I'm just waiting on the write-up, so that I can start an "Official" torrent. Anyone want to post a Write-up for a beta version of miner wars?
Torrents are perfectly legal as long as what you're downloading you allready have rights too... like roms for example: If you own a Nintendo 64 and Mario Kart64, Then it would be perfectly legal to download the Mario Kart64 rom because you physically own it and have rights to the game. Or if you own a CD you may download that same CD as many times from anywhere on the internet, because you own it. The only way torrents can be illegal are if you download something you don't have rights to, like a movie that hasn't been released on DVD, although there is some loopholes there. You may download software to test out no matter how illegal it is, as long as you don't actually use it for more than a day or so. This is actually considered legal, and like somewhat of a trial. As long as Miner Wars(and it's community) condones me making a torrent, It's perfectly legal, and It's what I would think is the better way to download, and host the file.
Controling the first torrent, or the Master torrent of a certain software is important, as Active Cancer said, it will probrobly get torrented anyway regardless, so If we can control the torrents as a community it will help us control how it spreads. There is no need to actually link the front page of the torrent I'll host, the torrent file is small and can be hosted by Miner Wars. That and I'm also tracking the torrent via Demonoid.com so the front page will only be available for the general public for a short ammount of time. Demonoid is a closed community by invite only, thus all the torrents tracked by Demonoid are scanned by the community for virii and duds. So if you ever find something from Demonoid, know that the community has looked as it and it's probrobly virus free. Which makes demonoid a pretty good choice for torrents. I refuse to track it on a public tracker, it will end up there somehow anyway, all of demnoid's torrents leak into other sites. If someone on Demonoid hosts a file with a virus they get kicked from the community, and the person who invited him also gets a mark against him, so the community is very helpful and resourceful.
I'm glad soo many people are willing to help, I'll span the information across my computers to help with the initial seeding, because I'll admit my connection is probrobly worse than yours(whoever you might be).
I recommend the utorrent cliant: www.utorrent.com
