Gosh I love the University sometimes. Rising tuition, but great bandwidth. :)

In 5 hours time, I'll take 56GB uploaded any day.

Even the small amounts matter. :)

I'm torn sometimes -- I could seed ONE of the isos with a decent rate (my uplink is 512kb) or split it up among all the versions I got (three in today's case). Ah well - all three have been seeding all afternoon at around 20kB/s, it appears.

Now to blitz some computers and start installing! :)

I wish more people would use bittorrent rather than hammering their servers.

torrent don't work with dist-upgrade, yet anyway. But yes its much nicer and today I think its much faster with bittorrent also. On good seeded torrents I can download with 7-10MB/s much better then most prime servers :)

It would be awesome if the dist-upgrade system used some kind of torrent system, at least during these loads. I've been downloading all day, and right now I'm at 57% getting 0 kb/s.

I've downloaded the ISO from a mirror server last night... now that I have the file can I use it to help seed ?

It would be silly to go and download the ISO again... but that's the only way that I've uploaded a torrent before was because I'd finished downloading on bittorrent.

yes just download the torrent file and tell your client to download to your existing iso file. It should check if it matches and just start seeding.

torrent is one of the most amazing technologies out there. Right now there are over 3000 seeder and 1500 leechers. Thats two seeders per leecher. And when the initial rush dies down, there is still like 500 seeders and about 30 leechers at any given time... thats amazing. every ubuntu release i download via torrent i always max out my dl speed (900kbps)
