Hi engineers,
while creating a torrent with Ktorrent I noticed an option called webseeds. I have found the following site dealing with this feature: http://getright.com/seedtorrent.html
In short: adding several webseed url the client will not only downlaod pieces from other pears but from ordinary http or ftp mirrors. This should increase the initial speed a lot and even if the user cannot use bittorrent due to firewall restriction, he still can download from several mirrors at the same time.
I would like to try this out with our new iso; what do you think about it?
Yes, on one condition - if you do the generation and tracker uploads of the torrent files. I did it once and it was a big pain. :)
