Default Torrent of all flyers??

It looks like RFD servers are already a little slow in serving up the flyers.

As a backup, how about a torrent of all the flyers? Maybe make it a file only downloadable by registered members or something. I know that RFD wants traffic to come to the site, but, I think there will be plenty of traffic coming just to discuss the different deals anyway!

We're working to speed up the flyer pages. Should see some improvement in the next hour or so. The images should already be loading faster.

could you maybe host a downloaded package.. compress all the pages into a little zip file for download as an option?

We're going to continue to add to all the different flyers, since this isn't going to end for the next few days at least so I'm not sure a torrent version makes sense since it won't be able to keep up with all our updates.

I still would like some kind of zip pack (distributed by normal servers or torrents). For me it would be easier so then I can view the jpegs in a normal picture viewer.

But, thanks for all of the great work you are doing . (and to those that provided you scans of the flyers!)

BTW: anyone notice when you click "next image" it doesn't actually take you to the next page in the flyer (ie. some other page in it?)
