Re: [gentoo-user] bittorrent
My pet monkey insists that on Sep 23 2003 at 01:57PM Jason Stubbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] warbled: This is worse than downloading a single mirror. If every body did that the stress on the mirrors would be much worse than it is already. The good thing about bittorrent is that clients would get better speeds than they are currently with only a tiny amount of extra stress put on the mirrors. Depending on how nice clients are on average, it could actually lessen the stress on the mirrors while still increasing overall bandwidth of downloads. TBH I don't see what bittorrent has got overly a properly configured make.conf. I used mirrorselect way back when I originally installed gentoo have never had less than around 250Kb from the mirrors. Sure, the mirrors need a lot of bandwidth, but I'm sure they understand that when setting them up. -- .~.

Re: [gentoo-user] bittorrent
My pet monkey insists that on Sep 23 2003 at 02:48PM Jason Stubbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] warbled: Similarly, I get about 600Kb. But the point is scalability; what happens when there's 10 times as many users as there are now? Any system administrator will tell you that the issue of scalability is best handled proactively. Absoloutely, but I don't agree that bittorrent is the way to go. But - it should be an option for those who do want to use it, and are willing to open the required ports on firewalls, etc. However, I suspect that you'll see users running it long enough to download whichever files they are interested in then stopping it. Until there is a way around this I don't see it as an answer. I'd actually like to see public web-cache like machines that interface directly with the gentoo mirrors hold the most requested files. I don't see that as a longterm solution though. -- .~.

Whilst on this subject, is it safe to upgrade to ~x86, or is this better done during the initial installation? The problem is in x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4-r1.
