This is explained by Chris here: "If someone who has finished downloading the patch would like to create a torrent, it's safe for other people to download it providing it only contains Content.ggpk (the patcher will correct any files that may have been maliciously modified).

yes, and what hash function is used for verification?
anything below 256bit can easily be exploited

Why the fuck can't GGG make an own torrent?
A 5 year old could do that, link on thepiratebay and done, 1 Webseeder to initiate and the rest ist distributed from the leecher, would reduce server load for patches by ~90%.

An torrent client in the patcher is a joke if you can make a video game ......

When this was brought up on reddit Chris said:

"P2P can be pretty evil. We generally don't do evil."

But within minutes of your over-paid CDN tanking, it suddenly became a good idea. I'm not trying to rub salt in the wounds here, I'm just saying that you really need to consider some sort of safe encrypted p2p distribution for these large patches in the future.

Something beyond random users throwing up their own torrents.

That doesn't really answer his question. Sure, it explains that somebody else can make a torrent and that it will be safe. But it doesn't say 'why' GGG didn't make a torrent. Your quote doesn't answer his question at all.

I have heaps of upload band width, 1.2 Mb/s to be exact. Will open it up if we get more seeders.

I am trying to remember but this might be the first time that I have used Torrent for something that is totally legal!

Keep the seeding going for a few days (I will) to help everyone else catch up.

Huge thanks to the OP for this, and for those who think he is going to steal your precious little pixels...well...

It seems that most, if not all, of the 100% seeders have left. I just uncapped my upload. If you are currently DLing, please seed. I cant keep my upload open for to long, but will as long as I can. I've uploaded 40gbs so far, lets try to keep this going and relieve some stress from their servers as well.

I'm still at 570...and that's for the FULL pack. So far it's quicker than just the game patch...but to each his own.

What the hell is wrong with the people who are leeching and not seeding when they are done?

The people responsible for making sites like TPB would be (and are) ashamed of you.
