[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink]
"Metalink is a cross-platform and cross-application Internet
standard/framework/file format for programs that download, including
download managers, BitTorrent clients, Web browsers, FTP clients, and P2P
programs. For increased convenience, the multiple download locations for a
file (FTP/HTTP/P2P) and other metadata in HTTP header fields and/or an XML
file with the extension .meta4 or .metalink."
Specific use case that just happened to me:
I want to download an Ubuntu ISO of Alpha 3.
With Metalink:
There are no seeders. Because I clicked on the metalink, deluge can
automatically fall back to wget.
Extra benefit, torrents can become better seeded.
What happens now:
I try the torrent.. It never goes anywhere.
I switch to using wget.
