Last Show in Coventry 1142 Leeches. I was wondering when I read the NY Times article about Phish's last show this past weekend in Coventry Vermont, if the subsequent Bittorent wave would be a record breaker. Well, over at bt.etree.org there is one seed that currently has 1142 leeches. Not sure if that is big or not, but it is definitely smoking. And so, I am wondering if anyone, maybe some information science wonk, has come up with a Torrent world record list? I am sure Linux releases get up there, but just the same, the last concert from Phish, arguably the most networked band ever (rec.music.phish started in 1992), has got to be a contender.
