Need advice

[Kazuya_UK]

I currently run a site at www.neogeoforlife.com and www.ng4l.com. The site provides reviews and other info for games, and I was considering having some small video footage of the new SNK related games that come out on the site. However, these would drain my bandwidth considerably, so I can't put them up for direct download.

I've thought about doing the bit torrent thing, but I know powweb doesn't allow you to run a tracker on their servers (I take it this applies even if the downloads are all completely legal?), but am I ok to give links out on my site to a tracker hosted elsewhere that would have my files on? (again, providing all the downloads on that tracker are completely legal)

I just need to figure out some way of doing this that isn't going to cripple my site ;)

KazI think you'll find that isn't allowed - how are you going to ensure 100% legal content on someone elses site?

For the final answer, send an e-mail to qa@powweb.com with details of the site(s) you intend to link to. They are the only people that can give a final and certain answer.

It would actually be my own site - just something hosted elsewhere, so I would have complete control over it. I know I could upload my own stuff to certain trackers out there, but as you say there is no guarantee that the content there would always be legal.

For the final answer, send an e-mail to qa@powweb.com with details of the site(s) you intend to link to. They are the only people that can give a final and certain answer.

I'll email them and find out. Thanks for the help!
