Thus if I can get just couple of seeders from Korea, 100Mbps download speed is guaranteed. CDN is everywhere. :-) We don't need to run torrent daemon or tracker service for seeding. Just add official download url to .torrent file as webseed url. Then upload .torrent file to nixos.org download page. Try these torrents(magnet links). graphical-x86_64 : https://www.dropbox.com/s/uzunxqb2cie90yj/nixos-graphical-13.10.35462.b44ee4f-x86_64-linux.iso.torrent minimal-x86_64 : https://www.dropbox.com/s/idj5kvz9vl6ow2p/nixos-minimal-13.10.35462.b44ee4f-x86_64-linux.iso.torrent Think about torrents in addition to CDN.
