I could see this getting really big with independent artists then I'll bet that the big names will want in too.

I see the balance happening like on a popular torrent there will be 297 seeds and 39 downloaders. I think it's okay for someone to hit it and quit it because if you stay on seeding is so slow anyway. On an old torrent with just a couple of seeds and downloads it will be slow but lots of times you end up seeding more than you've downloaded when you complete because you've been there long enough and your upload is needed. You might be just getting on a bad file. I don't know why but sometimes there are 20 posts of the same file and only one that works woof. I guess if Mininova keeps the number of files low enough on their seedbox it won't go slow. Bit Torrent is supposed to take the load off of the server the more popular a file is so it shouldn't hurt them if they manage it right. I think the program they are using is LibTorrent just to throw that in. There must be enough seeders out there I seem to be able to get most of what I want.

I for one don't see the point in it. The whole idea surrounding Bittorrent is something like "techno-darwinism." Basically any content that is good enough to put on such a server will already have enough peers willing to seed it which defeats the purpose. The only advantage I can see is that a server with high bandwidth would be able to send out a complete copy a little bit quicker but that's not going to make much of a difference after a few other complete copies are out there.
