Jigdo would in this case be particularly useful to those with a local
mirror as they have 99% of the content already (90% if you have
F9T3?). Because it is particularly useful to some, and completely
weird and strange for others, the number of users that will use it if
BitTorrent is an alternative wouldn't be a very good indicator to see
if it is actually a viable distribution method for the whole of
Fedora, neither is it the goal for these proposals.
I'm talking specifically about people going to the get-fedora page and
clicking on the torrent link vs the jigdo link. Out of every 100
people, how many people will click on the jigdo link?
Given the choice to download, say, the Fedora 9 i386 vanilla DVD,
frankly, I expect only people that know Jigdo, or want to get to know
Jigdo as it may have some benefits for them, and want to use it, are
going to use it, so in all my optimism:
roughly 10 out of a 100.
For other spins without regular bittorrent seeds obviously the rate is
100%, and some of the people that get to know Jigdo that way will be
using it again for our respins, and if possible, again for other spins
(non-Everything?), and again, and again.
Kind regards,
