I noticed a while ago you stopped doing the torrents, why?

Last weeks show had a high quality vorbis torrent, and I would suspect yesterdays show will be posted anytime.

when I hit any episode and hit download the torrent option doesn't appear like it used to.

Also on the hosts page how come Pat is the only one without a pirate hat? Is he an outcast? :wink:

Their pictures are from the LWE last year in Boston. I think I was with my wife when the guys were at a booth where they had the hats in the pictures.

Nope, we still do them. I only have the current episode available at any given time though. It takes me a bit to get them running as well because I work during the day and occasionally other things get in the way (like my wonky extra work schedule this week). At any rate, if you look at #120 now, the torrent is there and it'll be available until next wednesday evening. Then sometime on thursday the new one will be available ;-)

To piggy back on what Linc said, another problem with the torrent is that the hbr file is huge, compared to the other offerrings. Thus, the hbr file is only available for the current show and is removed when the new show goes up. This is to save space on the server, which we are running out of pretty quickly.

Wow now I really feel like I'm one of the guys. Thanks Wally ;)
You have to write up a tutorial on how you did that in GIMP.
