For the normal releases we typically have multiple seeders from the start. For these sorts of snapshots I suspect some steps can be taken to ensure better usability here. I talked with Seth a bit about this too (he's our current torrent wrangler) and we generally think this was just an issue with two many chunks and not enough people for chunks from the beginning. Which is self correcting but A) is annoying and B) is preventable in the future. We just have to figure out the procedure on it. Feel free to stop by #fedora-admin with ideas. It might just be something as simple as providing the iso somewhere for a specified time then removing, allowing people to seed properly. I like this because it keeps with the community model, allows people to get involved for these sorts of releases, and fixes the "slow to start" problem. -Mike -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
