Re: [gt-user] Data Replication Service
Dear Walter: I misread what you wanted to do: I gather that you want to distribute 30TB to N people, in such a way that the total download volume from your site is much less than 30*N. Thus you want some sort of peer-to-peer structure whereby early downloaders help to distribute the data to later downloaders. (Let me know if I have it wrong.) Globus Online doesn't provide direct support for that use case, at present. I suspect that BitTorrent is a good bet. Regards -- Ian. On Jun 16, 2013, at 12:05 AM, Walter Landry wrote: > Thanks.

Re: [gt-user] Data Replication Service
Thanks. It looks like the only solution that Globus Online offers for peer-to-peer requires buying a Globus Online Plus plan. Even then, it sounds like it is still in Beta. I will need to distribute about 30 TB of public domain data to anyone who wants it. When doing data releases in the past, we have had problems with our dual GigE network getting saturated. So just setting up an anonymous GridFTP server would probably not be an optimal solution. Should I just use Bittorrent? The Globus Online solution looks more oriented towards sharing private data with collaborators.

Re: [gt-user] Data Replication Service
Dear Walter: The right tool to use for Data Replication now is Globus Online, in my view. See www.globusonline.org. Ian.

[gt-user] Data Replication Service
Hello, I was wondering what the status of the Data Replication Service is. Is it still included with GT? I can see documentation for it in GT 4.0, but I can not find it in the documentation for GT 5.2.4. Thanks, Walter Landry
