knocking on open doors it seems. quite exciting to see, so many people pushing data over torrents, and seeing some sites already specializing in this, and even ckan seems to be on the way to do so. so i set up the parltrack datasets as an experiment like this:
dependencies: apt-get install buildtorrent rtorrent after moving all shared files in a directory called torrents/ buildtorrent -a udp://open.demonii.com:1337 torrents torrents/parltrack-json-dumps.torrent serving the torrent: rtorrent torrents/parltrack-json-dumps.torrent downloading the torrent from another host aria2c http://parltrack.euwiki.org/dumps/parltrack-json-dumps.torrent some alternative torrent trackers i found udp://tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969 udp://open.demonii.com:1337 while openbittorrent has "delisted" its url, and you can only read it when looking at the html source of the openbittorent page: udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80 i'll be playing with this in the next days, and will also look if only updates can be somehow pushed over torrent. if it works, i'll also add other datasets. and i guess i'll be setting up some dedicated space and seeder for all this. in the mean time, i guess, i'll add this torrent to the academictorrents site. i guess i'll also fire of a mail to the eu opendata portal people to inquire if it's possible to get listed with citizen-provided-datasets. i'll be reporting back. if anyone wants to join playing, shoot me a mail. thx, for all inputs s -- otr fp: https://www.ctrlc.hu/~stef/otr.txt _______________________________________________ okfn-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-discuss Unsubscribe: https://lists.okfn.org/mailman/options/okfn-discuss
