Hi,
OK, I think what I was wishing for here is probably not what the
configuration option would actually allow, so I'll just start over. :)
What I was imagining was a way to have torrent connections only within
a
local network. If there were no torrents within the local network, then apt
or DebTorrent would get the file from a mirror.
I have a number of Debian computers running on the local network. It
would
be nice if they would first check the other computers for the package file on
the other local computer's torrents, then download if found.
Furthermore, would like to block torrent downloads from outside of the
local
network (sorry Debian mirrors!).
As I think of it, this is probably hard b/c the tracker isn't kept
locally,
it is Debian hosted (?) and probably only knows my network's external IP (?).
KTorrent has a zeroconf plugin with allows discovering torrents on the
local
network, but local home network trackers are not standard. (?)
I won't be offended if you close this wish as too wishful. :)
Thanks!
C.
