[clug-talk] Static BitTorrent serving

[Roy Souther]

I am thinking of setting up a BitTorrent server for serving our favorite Linux ISO's. I am thinking that if a number of LUG members could keep a BitTorrent client open that could help with bandwidth. If your not using your upload bandwidth from your high-speed home connection this would be a great use for it.

Any thoughts? Has anyone done this? I have not looked at setting up a BitTorrent server yet or if there are any tools for creating static client nodes. Any advice is appreciated. I have plenty of space to host the original ISO's but I need to make sure that the bandwidth does not get to high. If anyone knows if there are bandwidth restriction tools specifically for BitTorrent serving please let me know.
