Wow thats alot. We really should get a server which can run from a bandwidthless environment.peppy wrote:
Tipping over 14tb/month at the moment...
Yeah I don't think I can limit my distribution to a fixed value, so if I mirror, same old song and dance there. Over the limit, friends angry, server down
if i can help others , i'll do it .
We know that quite a number of people just delete the skins and videos in a map, so that they won't be disturbed and can get better scores. Such kind of people are mostly those good at this game, at the same time those who have more maps, so I think they will be the main point in this P2P system.
But as I've pointed out, if they've cut most of the skins and videos, there's only the .osu file remained to be uploaded.
So I suppose it's time that something should be done to encourage them to keep the skins and videos, maybe a mod called "no skin", just like the "no video".

Good Idea, a no skin option would certainly help. Or either just make it so ppl can't get a score on incomplete maps.xlcwzx wrote:

That won't be a problem: p2p will be released concurrently with osz2 (which doesn't allow the deletion of skins / custom hitsounds). There also won't be any no-skin version, however there will still be a no-video version available to download for low-bandwidth users.xlcwzx wrote:

object 2 :I would be happy to share even while not playing osu! (idle at menu or systray icon).
We should share our bandwidth
I'd love to

I'm still wondering, how would this work for pending maps?
could share just the audio file + any unchanged elements, and get the .osu files directly from the osu! server (as is now)

I'm happy to share when osu! is running.

i dont know is this legal?
but i would also support this when osu is started
but i would also support this when osu is started
i dont know is this legal?I assume you say this because the feature in question is like torrenting, Yes?
Torrents ARE NOT illegal, its the content on them that is. In this case, yes it
would be legal.
I would be fine sharing bandwidth, I would go as far as to say I would share some
off my own website if such a thing could be managed, (Tho limiting that ammout
would be important) We never come anywhere close to what I pay for XD
Might as well try and get the moneys worth, ya?
but the content of this is copyrighted music?

Whilt there may be some copyrighted content on osu!, I don't condone of this and it will be removed should there be complaints from copyright holders. Besides, I'm pretty sure some of the maps you have uploaded are using unlicensed music, so you are adding to the problem if anything.Hanyuu wrote:

Good point, very observant. (brings me to something I have been curious about myself)Hanyuu wrote:

Well then the question isn't if using a torrent like system is illegal, its weather
or not Osu! itself is already breaking laws for distributing it music the way it
does as it is now.
I personally have wondered how this was ok, I mean enough people support
and play Osu! I mean its not like a hidden secret that you get the songs mp3
with every download. But hell, you can go to youtube and use audacity to
get a song, that is if not torrenting the entire album already. (I know I do)
so to be nonchalant about it, who cares?
Osu! is a great game ether way.
I honestly can answer your question much better, yes, the music is copyrighted,
but, no offense with this, You are a VERY active Osu! member, this hasn't bothered
you before obviously.
EDIT: Well darn, Peppy beat me to the post XD
complaints from copyright holdersA very valid point I forgot to mention, its up to the coppyright holders to prevent it,
all they gota do is complain and the problem is generally solved.
oh yeah i have not even thought of this lol.
i am all for this idea now
i am all for this idea now
YES
I would be happy to share even while not playing osu!

BUT, it'd be a bit of a problem for people on ultra low bandwidth such as myself (The joys of living too far from the exchange)... But by having the option to turn it off stingy people might just turn it off... Ultimately though, I am for it, not like in my current situation I can play osu! to have my bandwidth used anyway (damned slow computer D:)
tl;dr FUCK YEAH P2P

I would love to start sharing my Bandwidth, when I start college, cause I can leave my Comp.on all the time.
I'm a bit too late but I would choose option 2. We have to note the legal implications here though. When this is implemented all osu-ers are liable to illegal file-sharing charges.
Uhm, is that not already the case?mrtn wrote:

Err, how do we find out how much bandwidth we have?
Depending on how much I have i'd be willing to share...I don't think mine has a limit, nor do I use anywheres near all of it...
