Hi, I always create those metalinks. They work just like torrents, but use the usual http and ftp mirrors as "seeds" and hence don't depend on others uploading from their computers. The problem with only seeding via torrents is, that nobody is uploading (Sage simply doesn't have the critical mass of users downloading it) and hence we would have to setup a few nodes permanently seeding. Honestly, I don't know how to do this effectively and metalinks are still better, because they have more sources and include the torrent anyways.
