Jep, http is blocked intentionally. The torrents we provide for downloaders have dynamically generated headers, containing the various trackers. That way the load is balanced across multiple trackers. apparantly behaviour of rsync has changed. I do not recall changing the config, but indeed using *.torrent no longer works what does work is rsync --include='*.torrent' --exclude='*' Furthermore, the torrents dir contains symbolic links to the original archives. If you have a complete OO repository and want to seed the torrens, you only have to download the torrents, and the symlinks. That way you don't have to download the content using bittorrent first, since all files are already on your system.
