Why doesn indietorrent.org offer parallel uploading capabilities, or some fancy Flash widget that handles multi-threaded uploads?
We believe that “plain old HTML” is the best implementation. HTML 5 will solve the “simultaneous file upload problem”, and we really prefer not to employ proprietary technologies, such as Abobe Flash. For those who are really struggling to upload their files, we offer two suggestions: 1) send us CDs or DVDs by mail (ask for our mailing address), and we’ll rip/upload the files for you; or 2) offer your album(s) at no charge, which enables you to leverage BitTorrent technology. The challenge of uploading massive files, uninterrupted, goes away entirely with for-free BitTorrent albums, which readily resume uploading after connection hiccups, untimely PC reboots, and the like.
