[arch-dev-public] 0.8 torrents
I created the torrents for the iso images, and put them on the ftp earlier today, so they should start hitting mirrors soon. I also placed them up on linuxtracker.org: I'm currently seeding all 6, though quite poorly - I need to open some more ports but my silly router doesn't accept ranges (one at a time is nasty). A few other people (Thomas, Dan, stonecrest maybe, etc) are also seeding some of them. Due to our recent bandwidth shenanigans, we should probably suggest the torrents over ftp download. Perhaps when neotuli updates the download page, we can move it around so the torrents appear to be the first choice? /me shrugs Enjoy the torrents - Aaron

Most torrent clients only need one port for all torrents (I think they use both udp and tcp). If you need one port for each, you should use another one.

I can seed all 6 from Sunday on, with 1MBit bandwidth. I hope many archers with enough bandwidth will join us!

We should, people should try the torrents first. But we need enough seedeers, so that they will actually be faster than ftp.

Seeding the i686 ones here at the moment - my upload is fairly paltry, and I need to keep some for myself!

Definitely, torrents should be first choice, mirrors second, archlinux.org - well, never preferably. :) T.

I'm seeding all 6 on two computers. One of those will stay up 24/7 for a while if we need it to. -Dan

I recall reading somewhere that bittorrent only uses tcp. I was also under the impression that using multiple ports within the bt range created faster uploads, but I may be wrong - I download these things, not upload, heh. This was actually the first time I ever used 'maketorrent' 8)

Since you can theoretically have 65536 connections open on a single port (though, more practically 1024), I don't know that the number of ports is the limiting factor. Jason
