I was making some downloads using torrents ( that i will share with other people later because not to do soo would be a promise to be a bad person :) ) , and it occurred me an idea :
Gnu/Linux is in general a big community of sharing , why not extend that to bandwidth sharing ? why not to make a special repos that would work in a similar way to p2p ? in which my repos were like ed2k or .torrent ? wouldt that be cheaper than maintain a full server ?
Off course this is just an idea , and to work it would mean a lot off code writing in the package manager area , but hey , it would not be a good way to contribute to the community ?
