&gt;<i> Le mardi 11 janvier 2011 &#224; 20:03 +0100, Marcello Anni a &#233;crit :
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> hi all,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> i have one question (maybe it can be a proposal): is it possible to implement
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the torrent protocol to faster download the updates of the distro? it could be
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> an interesting features for the coming Mageia releases
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I think the issue of faster download could be simply taken care by
</I>&gt;<i> having more mirror, or faster one.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I had under the impression that some ISP throttle down bittorrent, and
</I>&gt;<i> that it may not be very nat and firewall friendly..
</I>
aria2 amongst others has bittorrent support though, so metalinks with
ftp/http/++ mirrors together with torrents could help combine them all
together. :)
