You're welcome!

Sweet, that was exactly the kind of effect that I had intended.

I tossed that idea around for a while, and after a while we decided to just go with the HTTP download for simplicity's sake. Bittorrent is a very viable option, but I'm fuzzy on the logistical details (how to set up a tracker, how many seeders we'd need, etc)? If anybody wants to set up a tracker on their private site (with no links to pirated videos/music/warez) and start seeding, I wouldn't mind hopping on and seeding as well.

I agree with pushing the semi videos a little more (after all, the semis determine the finals), but I don't think splitting the files by category is the way to do it. Especially since, as you said, a lot of people would just download the categories they like and ignore the others. We need a way of encouraging people to watch all the entries without being
too pushy about it, and we're trying to think outside of the box right now to figure out how.
