Re: [Kicad-developers] Torrent downloads
Yes, it does. I think it will work with any http server supporting range requests. You can have multiple webseed urls in the torrent as well, just pass --urlList flag multiple times.

[Kicad-developers] Torrent downloads
Hi all, I recall we had this discussion before about providing torrent files for release downloads to reduce the slowdown related to rush traffic. it didn't go far mainly because of resources needed to maintain separate torrent seeding infrastructure. I recently discovered that p2p torrent protocol supports webseeding, a feature that allows torrent clients to download chunks of files from standard http/ftp servers. It's implemented by most major torrent client software. This way the file is initially seeded by the http server but as more and more peers get the data the swarm takes over most of the traffic load. I tried it out and it works nicely with kicad's existing http download resources so there is no need to have separate infra for torrents! Would you be open to adding this? All that is needed is put .torrent files either on kicad website or even better, on the https://kicad-downloads.s3.cern.ch/ server next to the installers and add a link to them. I've generated torrents with webseed information for 5.1.7 here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/torrents-for-kicad-stable-version-5-1-7-win-and-osx/16609/14?u=qu1ck To do it yourself in the future is trivial, here is the bash script I used to create the files: for f in *.exe ; do create-torrent "$f" -o $f.torrent --urlList https://kicad-downloads.s3.cern.ch/windows/stable/ done for f in *.dmg ; do create-torrent "$f" -o $f.torrent --urlList https://kicad-downloads.s3.cern.ch/osx/stable/ done It depends on create-torrent utility that you can get by running "npm install -g create-torrent" I can also make a merge request on the kicad website if someone will upload the torrent files to the s3 server.
