2010-12-04 16:06:58 Stefan Nagy description Apt-P2P (http://www.camrdale.org/apt-p2p/) acts as a proxy between apt requests and a repository server, downloading any requested files from peers (if possible), but falling back to a direct HTTP download. As stated in Ubuntu Brainstorm Idea #26532 (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/26532/) a decentralized software distribution concept could reduce the community's dependency on expensive server infrastructure. The question is: How is it possible to faciliate the usage of Apt-P2P? Feature Request: An Peer-to-Peer tab should be added to the 'software sources'-window of Synaptic. There could be a button to active P2P networking (which would mean to install the apt-p2p package) and a list of all software sources (this could look like the software sources list in the 'other software'-tab) where the user could activate/deactivate every single source for apt-p2p. If no source is activated, the apt-p2p daemon could be deactivated (in /etc/default/apt-p2p). Additionally there could be a 'options'-button & -window where users can set the most important apt-p2p options (like the upload limit, see /etc/apt-p2p/apt-p2p.conf).
