# Need help spreading a technical video via Bittorrnet

By Roy Osherove August 31, 2006 In [Agile](https://osherove.com/blog/category/agile)

**Historical article** · Originally published August 31, 2006; technical details may be outdated.

**Update**: fixed the link to the torrent file. you can try and use it now:  [http://files.osherove.com/torrents/DEVDEV\_Designing\_for\_Testablity\_Roy\_Osherove.wmv.torrent](http://files.osherove.com/torrents/DEVDEV_Designing_for_Testablity_Roy_Osherove.wmv.torrent)

I have the video of my "[Designing For Testability](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2006/03/13/440121.aspx)" talk from DevDays (60MB) ready for download for you guys, but I don't want burden my server too much, so here's what I was thinking of doing (which involves you!)

I'm going to make is downloadable via BitTorrent. Then people could use a program like [uTorrent](http://www.utorrent.com/) to download it.

**The problem** is I can't "seed" the file from my machine very well, since my upload speed is a crappy 10k, this 60MB file can take a loooong time.

(A seed is someone who has the full file locally, so that whatever happens, anyone downloading will always find the full pieces of a the file)

So, **I'm looking for "Seeders"**. These folks can then download the file directly from a private link I will send them, and then seed it via BitTorrent.  **Email me to \[email removed\]** if you'd like the private link to seed this and let me know how much upload speed you can spare for this..

I'm looking for the end result to look like this:

\* When people click this link:

[http://files.osherove.com/torrents/DEVDEV\_Designin...](http://files.osherove.com/torrents/DEVDEV_Designing_for_Testablity_Roy_Osherove.wmv.torrent) they'll have a couple or more seeds that have "real" upload speeds, and it will just work.

If you know how to accomplish that when the seeders actually downloaded the full file **not** via torrent, let me know - and that's what we'll do.

If not, just click the link now, and in a day or so, we'll have more and more seeds that can help spread the video faster and faster..
