bandwidth sharing

[bobbyskel78]

hello all,

i've been a fan of the game <insert your fave here> since <blah, blah>.

in the past, i worked a fed job. in noticed one of my co-employees was doing something on the NASA site (space s#*&#33;). i had to inquire and apparently one can leave their computer on, internet on ... i believe there was a required add-on/extension, but NASA would use the collective to process all of the info coming from the Hubble telescope (allegedly), i think it was Homeland.

any who, i partake in torrents and how they exist is quite simple ... you can be a leech (get what you need and only seed while), seed (someone who already has), or a peer (someone who allots seeding of one+, while downloading 1+).

why can't nexus mods implement such? IMO, it would tremendously cut down on bandwidth, potentially make it easier to eliminate antiquated mods, reciprocate more funds towards the modders, the root and why this community exists.

make it a part of the registration process, allocate 1/10 of one's bandwidth while online and free membership ... is that reaching? i would hate to see this site go into the dumps because it can't attract modders or become a plethora of unwanted ads.

i remember that, it was an idea to process data for SETI.

Sadly it became very rapidly an enormous security hole as it meant you left your system open to potential bad actor payloads.

long story short - don't give up your bandwidth for someone else's workload.

it was a thought. torrent sites do it, WAN/LAN also do it through file sharing. pretty much every download i've seen has mirror download links as well.

any who, it was just a thought.
