package distribution by bittorrent

<< < (2/2)

curaga:
Certainly it would be useful for the full repo, say monthly, given the occasional questions on how to grab everything.

But that would need a dedicated seedbox with the bandwidth to handle the multi-gb uploading.

solorin:
this is all just whimsical musing i suppose.
probably the Core community isn't at all big enough
to realize any of those efficiencies anyway.

bittorrent is meant save the *distributor's* bandwidth.
and if ibiblio's got enough for everyone's needs then i guess there really is no
practical point.

solorin:
i take it all back. i'm going to have to respectfully
disagree with you gentlemen.
after a more thorough reading of the thread
the debian guys seemed to have thought this out already.
and http://www.camrdale.org/apt-p2p/
does seem like an interesting solution
that could use a tinycore counterpart.
it's design pretty much alleviates the concerns brought up
and delivers the benefit's i'm advocating.

let me be clear, i'm not asking for anyone else to do anything about it

and some code from twitter in the same problem domain: https://github.com/lg/murder

Nobody yet (unless you want to participate in the design process).
