Why not BitTorrent, and let folks spread the load? There _is_ a BitTorrent client for Solaris, AFAIK, although it's strictly command-line. As long as you have a separate MD5 posted for the ISO, so people can verify it, that should be good enough, and much cheaper in bandwidth for those that serve it. http://blogs.sun.com/pmonday/entry/bittorrent_on_solaris_nevada_solaris although apparently some have gotten transmission or azureus (vuze) to work: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=272361 A decent client would certainly be a plus...the command line might be good enough as an initial tracker/seed. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
