can't a ftp server be a BT seeder?
It should be no problem. The FTP-Server's owner has to start seeding,
and I dont know if that is normal. It should be.
What makes me think of jigdo/jigsaw downloads.
Debian uses this for its images / mirror sites.
Ddue to my experience it's mostly a lot faster than torrent downloads, mostly.
But to be honest I have no idea if this would work within a rpm based
distribution. But it might be an interesting altenative to torrent images.
The center idea of the p2p protocols is to make the "upload" bandwith of
the many many users the "download" bandwidth for the others.
A great idea, but it is a design flaw to neglect the existing dedicated
servers.
So we need a new p2p protocol - intelligent enough to use the traditional
download ressources too. Neglecting the presence is a bad start into
future.
