What hfric said, no point reinventing the wheel on this when Underground Gamer exists. I wouldn't be in favor of this anyway.

I maintain approx 4GB of uploads for LW. Using free upload sites, I can upload it once and then 1000's of people potentially can download it at good speeds without me having to share any more of my bandwidth. Sure, sometimes the uploads may be lost, but I find the infrequent reuploading preferable to the need to seed constantly for the same effect.
Why waste my own time and money serving when I can waste somebody else's server for free ?

Private Bittorrent trackers create elitist communities and exclude people that can't maintain an appropriate share ratio. With Legends World we give freely and anybody can partake of the fruits, even the lowliest of dialup users provided they have the patience

The idea is bad for me. I seen that on torrents.ru, that shares the same concepts:

1. Very hard to have all this old games in upped and good status: do you think, all people have unlimited HD space? I personally have 10 Gb free. And if one server maintain all of this, we have old technology, but with reduced speed, not increased.
2. "Elitist club": every new file shares between old members momentarily. But most new members simply cannot maintain seed/peer ratio, because old members already have all of that, and there is not enough of new members, who wants exactly this file. And you cannot download most of this files to maintain ratio, because you will be banned already after first gygabyte or two (as it happens constantly with my friends on the torrents.ru )
3. To have good speed, you need many seeders. Do you really think, there is exist many people, who wants all this games? I don't think so. And having 20 seeders for Daggerfall not helps at all to Freddy Fish 2, for example, that will have one seeder maximum (I think . And p.2 really eliminate even possibility to expand this numbers.
4. Many new ISO additions? From where? If you cannot upload ISO on 4shared, why you magically aquire this ability with BitTorrent?
