* Package name : debtorrent Version : 0.2.0 Upstream Author : Cameron Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://debtorrent.alioth.debian.org/ * License : MIT Programming Lang: Python Description : the BitTorrent proxy for downloading Debian packages To expand on the BitTorrent protocol and application to work effectively with large, constantly updating collections of files, and therefore enable the efficient peer-to-peer downloading of Debian packages from an APT repository. Features: * Downloads from peers, increasing the available bandwidth to the user * Reduces the bandwidth requirements needed to setup a repository of packages * Seamlessly integrates with the current APT tool * Automatically falls back to downloading from an HTTP mirror when peers are not available Requirements: * Python 2.3 or higher * An APT-based package management system (such as Debian distributions have) *********************************************** Though there are currently Alpha releases available (0.1.1), I am planning to wait for the upcoming Beta release before packaging this software (possibly as a native package).
