I think it is a great idea. The point is to minimize the repository load for Canonical, not just for ISO release, but for the package updates during and after release as well. I actually think it would be more efficient than trying to route people based on their location. Torrent protocol does that automatically for you :-) It would be a cool feature. If it really works, think about the impact of having a simple GUI option to enable this at some tested point off in the future -- which would really make a Ubuntu cutting-edge, peer-oriented support structure. It would help Canonical save lots of money too... -- Kristian Erik Hermansen -- [needs-packaging] apt-torrent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153752 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
