I *think*, not 100% sure, but I believe you could have multiple
trackers, hosted by different systems, but the problem is that you'll
split your clients between them and they won't talk to each other even
though they potentially could.  Also, if one of the trackers went down
the clients using it would also go down (or at least, the stream from
that tracker would).

I don't think this is correct. You need a tracker for downloaders to be 
able to find each other but no client is more important than the others.

I'm sorry to say that you're wrong. A tracker without a client running on
a complete file is completelly useless. The tracker even doesn't know
what you are "sharing".
If you want publish your files you have to start a tracker and a client
on each content to distribute. The client that you run on the complete
content will tell you: "Downloaded" and will stay there waiting for other
client connections.

I think I've seen some torrents with a "multi-host" definition of
tracker.  Not sure how that works, or how clients react to it.  But
before you hack that up, make sure to check for previous attempts,
mainly for client compatibility.

To a degree you are correct.  AFAIK new downloads could not start if the 
tracker crashed. The tracker is the traffic cop that tells peer nodes 
about each other.  I dont believe the tracker that comes from the main 
bit torrent author allows for multiple trackers with a common data 
repository, but if we're really interested, maybe we could hack up the

I suspect the best thing would be to run the tracker on one server
(bt) and seeders elsewhere.

Bittorrent is based on a tracker, the tracker is embedded in the metafile
(.torrent file ) and also is based on the "first client" that is launched
pointing to the complete file; so the very first client is the real server
that must be run 24/24.

Nope, that's about right, from what I understand.  Not only that, but
for far-flung people (from the server) it's possible that there are
links between the server and the client that are too slow, bt could
reduce the bandwidth demands on those links too if other people on the
far side are also grabbing the stream.

This is essentially true, although it makes a lot more sense for things 
that are a lot larger (full ISO's like Linux distributions) and have a 
higher desirability than "official" avenues to get to them.  That's not 
to say that it shouldn't be offered, it's just a niche thing & is 
generally time-sensitive (i.e., it does the best when there a lot of 
people using it & the time most people use it is when something is "hot 
off the presses").  PostgreSQL is sufficiently small and has high enough 
availibility that either you won't have to think twice about downloading 
through standard avenues or BT won't help you.

BitTorrent was designed to take bandwidth load off servers that would
otherwise need to be on very large and expensive pipes.  It does this
by serving mostly information about where other servers are, rather
than serving the same (much larger) chunks of data over and over again
to clients.

You can find more information on what BitTorrent does and how it does
it at

http://bittorrent.com/introduction.html

HTH :)

Yes. While you're downloading, others might pick bits and pieces from 
the segmetns that you've obtained so far and once you're finished, you 
may "seed" a file, i.e. make it available for others to download.

There is a FreeBSD port of it also but it says "A BitTorrent client 
written in Java" ... does it work as server too, or, by its nature, are 
servers == clients in Bittorrent? :)

It would only help with maintenance, not with memory or CPU.  Also, a

Nope, definitely better then a loadavg of 54 :)  She's running <1 right 
now ...

What about the Java version that Gavin had mentioned?  Aegus or something 
like that?  Would moving away from the Python version help any?  Something 
to look into?  jdk1.4.2 is available on that VM right now, not sure what 
else, if anything, would need to be installed though ...
