This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I know WoW used bittorrent for game updates, it was built in and was the "standard" download mechanism.

I'm sure it's far from the only game that did.
