It is not pretty and I don't LOVe using unmaintained software but we CAN make it function. This discussion is not about the various techinical implementations of torrent, really. It's about whether or not we want to spend the time maintaining something which gives us only about 950 completed iso downloads a day and is increasingly being blocked and rate-limited in networks all over the world. BitTorrent feels like the trailing edge of technology these days and the incredibly dilapidated state of all the server software to implement torrents is evidence of that, imo. We do better with our download servers and mirrors by FAR than the torrent. -sv _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
