Easier Theme Park Access!

We are still at full capacity every day at the GNU Public Theme Park in Corpus Christi, and the fire officials still won't budge on the maximum occupancy, but never fear! We have been working closely with Bram Cohen to extend his successful file sharing protocol BitTorrent to theme parks, and we think we've made a breakthrough. The adventurous among you can download our new RideTorrent client. (The site is new, so if your DNS lookup fails do not despair! Just wait 48 hours and try again)

The basic principles remain the same. Popular rides will be sent piece-by-piece across the Internet to users, who will then use their uploading bandwidth to redistribute those pieces to other users while they continue their own downloads. The net effect is that end users are able to use the rides much sooner than they would if they went to Corpus Christi and got in line. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not innovative!
