</I>&gt;<i> - if we could plan it for the coming releases (and who could take in charge 
</I>&gt;<i> this)
</I>
I can quickly answer to this:
- bittorent is denied where distrib-coffee is hosted.

This close every discuss on this side.

But I can probably setup a bittorent server elsewhere (it is nice to
work with two different university). But first I have to ask to network
administrator.

From my own experience, I never saw bittorent so efficient for
downloading, except it reduce the bandwidth for the team making the iso
available (and this is still not sure).

BTW: It's time to find mirrors for the distribution ! Any volunteer ?
