EPTI think that torrents would be nice, or at the very least have a player like Gom's where you select the match and it lets you pick which game from the match to watch.

I did test it (I watched broadcast), and dl speed is great, very fast, and a lot of seeders, and its for day1. When this thing gets popular and establish as the best SC league outside Korea (which is the plan), 90% of people will go for torrents. I hope NASL crew can make it popular so they can survive and get budget from commercials, that would be awesome. Everyone watch it for free, but DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT COMMERCIALS, big prize pools, sponsors are happy, players are happy, crowd is delighted !! I really want SC to take over the world  | ||

they could put comercials into the torrents and they would need only a minimum of actual bandwidth for them all seeing how you could put that all on the backs of seeders a day after you post it. the torrents could be dl'ed off of the site itself to make sure people don't dl virus's and other things. whole thing is probably stupid to think of anyway but at least I wouldn't have to watch that shitty pregame or worry about missing a fun battle with the stream lagging. | ||

As it currently stands, the NASL's method of content distribution leaves much to be desired. It is very easy for someone to upload VODs to torrent sites and suddenly, there is a better method. Individual files for each match, locally available. As a paying customer of NASL, I would download these torrents of individual matches Why? Its cleaner and easier. If the NASL is able to establish a really quick and seemless way for people to do this legitimately, they will be able to prevent *A LOT* of pirating. The major deal breaker is the commercials. Torrents don't make commercials as easy of a thing to do, since you'd have to integrate it into the video. Which makes me think it would be better to just have ads in the lower portion of the screen which is essentially useless anyway. What I imagine happening instead is NASL working with JTV to have individual VODs which do not have game spoiling comments immediately visible once you click it. But torrents with an RSS feed would be a really, really good thing. Torrents of the SC2 scene are going to grow. Just a question of if these organizations can stay ahead of the game. | ||

I haven't had to try to use J.tv's VoDs yet, but they look like a fairly frustrating experience. | ||
