Packages should be the next logical step. :)" This is a proof of concept of what could be done with BitTorrent. We are distribution most of the latest distfiles for both GNOME and KDE. That should prove to be a nice trial. Please, contribute by seeding because there are only a few us right now and the bandwidth is not that great. This is a proof of concept that should not last more than a couple weeks. The tracker has been kindly provided by kwm and bandwidth is being donated by users from their homes rather than institutions. If you have a good connection, help as you can. :) This trial will be evaluated at the end by analyzing the tracker logs. Suggestions are welcome on how to process the data and what outputs would be most useful. This could be the beginning of a new official distribution medium. Please, help out by seeding for as long as possible. Pass the word around, we want a nice try so grab what you want. - short information on how to fetch and what is available http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/bittorrent/ - how to help out, please do http://people.freebsd.org/~lioux/bittorrent/seeding.html Regards, --=20 Mario S F Ferreira - DF - Brazil - "I guess this is a signature." feature, n: a documented bug | bug, n: an undocumented feature --W/nzBZO5zC0uMSeA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFDOeG9rxEiaFLzGQwRAm7+AJ9+zOCZxOsxI+4j/hkjE9Gaye7WTQCcDYJv Q9s129CV03w2Xw/c+sQyOMU= =rXzg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --W/nzBZO5zC0uMSeA--
