In the past we have used godaddy to host our comapny's website, as well as other domain services. I know you just switched to Godaddy yourself and I was wondering if there is anything special we need to know relevant to setting up on their site. Are you running under Apache there? Thanks Brazos Donaho Kevin,

Of course, this won't work for the whole site but you could use the caching link for big files that really eat up your BW.

I don't have time for this". One reason that people buy 1.8 million songs a day on iTunes Music Service, rather than downloading them P2P, is that people want "the artists to be compensated". At least as likely, however, is that it's just *so* convenient and easy. As long as it's viable for just "serve up the file" so that people can watch right there in their browsers, I want to do it. Remarkably, it looks like I now have access to a great deal of bandwidth, so it should be possible to keep things going with a better user experience. Thanks for the comment about TurboGears! There's lots more to do, but I'm glad that people like what's already there. I sure enjoy working with it!

If you offer both, and try to encourage people to get the torrent, you'll have enough spare capacity to support people who don't know about torrents. Thanks for the work you've done on TurboGears, by the way - it looks great, from the playing I've done.
