This is the classic torrent problem, particularly with rapid torrents.
Wrong. This is the nature of torrenting. It seems you are dead-set
against bittorrent so this will be my last discussion on it.
One person connects up at 100kB/sec download. Then another connects.
Seeder's at 50kB/sec split. However - the peers are sharing. If they
have 50kB/sec upload speeds (most people do have around 512kbit) then
guess what! They are sharing 100kB/sec bandwidth all around! It's must
faster than two clients connecting to one HTTP URL at 50kB/sec. It
scales with more people connected and once more seeders are available.
There is no hard load on the Fedora server and lots of users are getting
RCs at reasonable speeds.
The only problem with bittorrent is that Jesse Keating doesn't like it.
