Sure, but GTKG is missing the features to make this easy enough.
I don't think you want to let GTKG search for the snapshot
because that would waste bandwidth. The best would be to publish
some entry point where you can get dmesh entries - sounds like
BitTorrent without the ability to share partial files. And it
would be very nice if you could use normal web servers (or
even FTP servers) as alternate sources.
OTOH, it should be quite easy (hopefully) to add a widget to the
frontend where you can manually add a URL to be downloaded. Further,
you would need something to create the dmesh entries.
Another problem is that the lifetime of those snapshots is rather
short, so that there'll be a new snapshot before there are
many new alternate sources.
