Ah memories. I remember being up all night that night, watching one person after another on Pooshlmer being like "cmon the festival doors have been open NINE HOURS NOW why hasn't someone uploaded it yet???", followed by a lot of fake torrents getting posted. I gave up, went to bed, and as I was lying there I thought, "Eh, might as well give it another look", and went to Pooshlmer via mobile phone. And there I saw that between the time I turned off my comp and got into bed, an explosion of "OMG ITS REAL! ITS REAL! THE TORRENT IS REAL! YOSH! UPPING IT NOW TO MEDIAFIRE!" had erupted.
Maybe I'm not cynical enough, but I think it's pretty cool how some random soul in Japan posts a torrent on his obscure blog and it initiates a chain reaction reaching across the globe.
