The bandwidth alone is 100 thousand dollars. I read somewhere that the Lotro installer gets downloaded a million times a year. The company (Turbine in this case) is using our PCs to distribute the software. PMB is used to lower the distribution costs by pushing some of the expense onto the folks that download the software. The company does not want to pay for all the hosting and data costs. IMHO - Companies that want to distribute software digitally over the internet. My recommendation is to uninstall PMB immediately after the download is complete. ![]() I do not know what value Turbine put in the PMB client. PMB is supposed to shut down after a specified number of days once Lotro is installed. This situation is a particular concern if you have a cap on the amount data you can transfer to and from the internet. Your internet bandwith and CPU resources are being consumed to ship Lotro to other people. ![]() When it first starts up you have no Lotro, you only receiving Lotro from other customers.Īs the download proceeds, you will begin uploading the parts of Lotro that you have to other people that need it. PMB will download Lotro from other customers that have part or all of Lotro on their PC and have the PMB client running. When you install Turbine's version of PMB you are joinng the Turbine's Peer to Peer network. Pando Media Booster (PMB) is a Bit Torrent client used for file sharing. ![]()
