I would go with Google video. They have much less stringent rules about
bandwidth and resolution.
That's why I asked the question about how long they should remain
available. I don't know how many people would be willing to remain a
permanent part of the torrent. I figure the limited number of people
associated with KPLUG aren't going to tax our shared bandwidth that
much. If sparkplug is just the tracker and the file is seeded through
several members of the group, no one person will carry the bandwidth.
But then I don't know the details well enough. Has anyone distributed
a file only through a torrent? Is there a way to make sure no single
person supplies all the bandwidth, from the beginning?
Ummm, in fact, the "seeder" is *required* to supply the entire file via
his own bandwidth at least once.
BitTorrent doesn't solve any problems in the face of a small cluster
(which is what KPLUG has).
I have been *dying* for something that would work for my classes.
I think it's an interesting technology question. Can you supply a file
from a torrent only, without any specific location holding the entire
file, so no single server gets all the bandwidth? I suppose there
would have to be an expiration time on the file. Perhaps only until
the next meeting.
Actually, I was referring to cameras and audio. BitTorrent simply
doesn't matter.
