2007-07-27 02:51:47 Bryan Quigley description I would like to see apt-torrent packaged for Ubuntu, GG. It would allow us to *eventually* increase the scalability of Ubuntu, possible uses include for downloading large games. "Apt-Torrent is an apt gateway to the BitTorrent protocol. it can be used as a backend for any application which use apt like apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, kpackage, ...etc. Apt-Torrent run as a multithread daemon providing an httpd server and a BitTorrent client. The goals and benefits of the application is to provide a simple and efficient way to share the Debian distribution among users and to second main mirrors spreading new packages. Each computer running apt-torrent can take part in its distribution." Website:http://sianka.free.fr/ Many related specs... I would like to see DebTorrent packaged for Ubuntu Gutsty (or +1). It would allow us to *eventually* increase the scalability of Ubuntu, possible uses include for downloading large games. "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 This software is open-source and is released at no charge under the terms of the MIT license." http://debtorrent.alioth.debian.org/ http://wiki.debian.org/DebTorrent This bug report was originally for apt-torrent but DebTorrent has a better solution, I think. Plus it is in active development in Debian.
