Crashing the System

Posted by: Tom,

I wonder if the bitTorrent idea used for distibuting published works on the web can apply to churches and denominations as well. The main problem with developing a great idea and getting it into the hands of people who want it on the web is that the more popular it becomes the more bandwidth is used up and eventually the whole system crashes. BitTorrent solves this by having downloaders use their uploading capacity to serve others. The more you upload the better treatment you get when wanting to download.

Perhaps this is an ethic we need to work on. Perhaps we have too many people and churches wanting to download and never upload. The result is the servant (server) gets overloaded and the system crashes.

Just mangling more metaphors!
