yes wobo, but except Per Øyvind no one has really answered to my question...
i think if that if we want Mageia to become the most popular distro over the
world -yep!- we should find a way to augment the overall bandwith available for
updates download, and what's better than bittorrent protocol to use user
available bandwith to do this? i would like to know:
- if it is possible from a techincal pov
- if it is convenient and useful (overall in a long-term vision)
- if we could plan it for the coming releases (and who could take in charge
this)
cheers,
Marcello
