Re: torrent
Back to the original question, downloading from a torrent is better because it doesn't swamp the source server. If you have a feeble server, but a high-demand and large file to serve, providing a torrent download shifts the server load from yourself to your users, where they nearly all download from each other, and all you do is tell them where to find each other. As a user, downloading a torrent can be better because that feeble server in the example above may be crawling along at a snail's pace, while the peer-to-peer download torrent is crusing at mach speed.

Yeah. Keep researching CodeIgniter tutorials, because ideally, you wouldn't ever need to use routes.php unless you had a need for an alias or some other special occasion.

Here's what would be the standard procedure for the Tempe, Arizona Valley MedTrans team. 1. For every cp/, cp/page1, cp/page2, etc, have a function index(), function page1() function page2(), etc in controllers/cp.php. 2. For every table (or logical item of business) such as article, user_account, inventory_item, bid, shipment, etc, have a file models/article_model.php, models/user_account_model.php, models/inventory_item_model.php, models/bid_model.php, models/shipment_model.php. 3. Inside every ___model.php file, have functions like get_user_account($id), change_user_password($user_id, $new_password), get_shipments_by_user($user_id). Is it possible some of your tables might be able to be combined? Would you be interested in sharing part of the db schema? -- To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love.

What you are talking about is what I would like to do. However When I drop cp.php in the controllers directory and drop pages.php in the controllers/cp directory, /cp/pages uses the cp.php controller. If this is what you suggested earlier, I must have it mis configured. I appreciate your help!!

I always found that the CRUD wasn't just a simple CRUD. The form validation was slightly different. The data manipulation between models and views was slightly different. Therefore, I built individual controllers, with a database table having its own model extended from MY_Model extended from CI_Model. This allowed me to put all of the common model functions in one file, test it, then extend it further for other additional functionality. The CI style is less about doing it a specific way. Its not like Rails where there is ONLY one way to do things. CI is flexible. Does that help?

I'm not following what you are suggesting - abstracting the models into a MY_Model.php core file? I'm thinking one controller for the control panel, and depending on what the second
