Exactly. I actually lose money making RTB - it's in my best interests to have the least possible number of users to lower my costs.

Residential connections have terrible upload speeds and all the available upload bandwidth should be dedicated to the players using the server otherwise it'll cause a lot of connection lag for them. It would also take about half an hour (or more) to upload all the content people have downloaded. I wouldn't say this was very feasible.

Content Downloading essentially does this anyway, as long as that server hoster gets their add-ons from RTB.
Content downloading was a hit which is why I thought of ways to make download quicker.

Also, don't players download files off the server anyways?

Files that aren't on RTB get downloaded from the server. I don't think the impact from uploading would be as bad as I initially said it could be, but it's still not feasible for a bunch of other reasons. If you want a more detailed explanation feel free to suggest it in the RTB Development thread.

So I suppose that would also cause upload lag?
