Fixing the download mirrors @ GCW...

[b9AcE]

Hmm, just got another idea.
To help people like "Joe Forster/STA" there could be a delayed queueing system for HTTP-downloads to complement the ed2k-downloads.

This would mean that the prefered method would be to go through P2P, but if you can't you can request HTTP-download by clicking on a link that puts you in a queue for the file.
That queue would have a timer in it so that the download will not begin until a preset waiting time has been reached.
The waiting-time should of course be more than what is to be expected from ed2k-downloads...

This system should encourage using ed2k as a primary download-location, but still enables those who can't use that to get the files albeit with a slight delay.
Also, to pay for the download there could be a rotating banner in place on the queueing-page so that people downloading by HTTP will effectively pay for their download by advertisement revenues.
