It might also be an option (especially for bigger files) to use bittorrent. That way, you download from your neighbour, rather than via the IX.
a very nice tool to help create torrents is http://www.blogtorrent.com/ (the broadcast machine mentioned there is more for multimedia purposes, blogtorrent will work just fine.) with a little extra configuration, the repository can function as a seed for the torrent. Any extra downloader will be seeding, too. not sure if we are enough to really leverage from this, though. but worth a try. reinier On Friday 07 July 2006 17:23, Patrick Okui wrote: > On Friday 07 July 2006 17:18, Mark Tinka wrote: > > On Friday 07 July 2006 15:52, Henry Kirya wrote: > > > Like I just saw a post from someone with ubuntu cds, the > > > isos could be just be placed here > > > > You need to consider bandwidth issues for something like this. > > Sure, if it's well connected to the UIXP, that would be great. > > If I remember correctly, there *is* a repository for all kinds of > tools and iso images (probably managed by EACOS?).
