Hi all, I just wanted to add that I still maintain two working bootstrap nodes, one with packages, the other only DHT:
www.mxchange.org:9977 www.mxchange.org:9976 You may want to add these both to your apt-p2p.conf file as first 2 nodes and remove the other (no longer existing). I do this because this is the way it should be, saving bandwidth of the Debian mirrors with an (almost, see bootstrapping) fully decentralized p2p network. deb-torrent in comparison has the "small" disadvantage of having a tracker in place, new torrent leecher/seeders may need it running to be able to find new nodes. PEX (peer exchange) may solve this but only for already booted (no "virgin") nodes, not new ones as the chicken-egg-problem is there. The code itself has been fixed long time ago (I did it almost immediately after it broke and that was long time ago). You can find my changes at [1] where they can be publicly downloaded through GIT protocol [2] As you can see, no new development did take place as I have almost no knowledge in Python. If you would like to take it over (not my repos), you can just clone it and push it on any other GIT server and let me know the public URL so I can merge your changes back into my code.
