Is it possible we could use bittorrent as an alternate means of distributing the world scenery? This seems to be the P2P protocol of choice that NASA and several Linux distros now use for distributing very large files. Maybe we could use it too?
I have no problem if someone wants to start a bittorrent server from one of the FG mirrors. I don't think I can do it from the main flightgear ftp server though. The university goes out looking for bittorrent traffic (and other commonly abused protocols) and then they immediately think I'm downloading movies or music or warez or south park episodes. So they are very skittish of anything like bittorrent running around here, but if someone else wants to set something up, they are very welcome.
