There are some references to > using a Bit Torrent client to download a data set. > > Q1. How can I obtain the torrent files for downloading the NASA Blue > Marble dataset? You do not need to use torrent. > > Q2. Which file format is the NASA Blue Marble dataset stored in? .tif, .png or .jpg outside of grass and as grass raster map insinde of grass. > > Q3. Which grass modules should I use to import the NASA Blue Marble > dataset? http://www-pool.math.tu-berlin.de/~soeren/grass/modules/r.in.onearth.tar.gz > > Q4. What is the difference between the NASA onearth WMS server ( > http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/ > ) and the NASA Blue Marble data set server ( > ftp://veftp.gsfc.nasa.gov/bluemarble > ) ? Is it the same thing? No. The first one is a wms server which provides more data than just blue marble: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Map_Service The second one is a ftp server providing blue marble image files.
