Recently my friend asked if I could add a specific file to my library, and I had a hell of a time tracking it down. I ended up having to get the file through more conventional (and costly) methods, and decided to make sure the next person wouldn't have to do the same.
I packaged up my first torrent, and sent the little goober on its way. The VPN I signed up for on a two year package when I started doesn't offer port forwarding, so I had to lower my gates a bit to get it out there, but I finally feel like I've contributed to the community more than just seeding.
I'm looking forward to finding and shipping more difficult to find files going forward, so a VPN with forwarding is a must once this one expires.
