Hi,
We've tried a bittorrent here at Fermilab before, and we always tend to
get blocked by our border router. It's been a while though, and we
could try again if there is a big demand.
For right now, linuxtracker usually has a torrent
http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrents&category=296
Let me know how big the demand is, and if it's big enough, we'll work on
getting one setup for the SL 4.8 release.

Troy, Connie our personal congratulations with 5.3 release and to all
FermiLab with a Y(4140) particle discovery!
Colleagues, what do you think about delivering ISO-images (especially
DVD-images) by the P2P network (bitbake, for example)?
Sorry, my mind is not completely cleared from a hard struggle with a
OpenMoko building environment -- bittorent of course ;)
It's may be a
very useful solution for avoiding single server bottleneck.

Hello,
We released SL 5.3 yesterday, and now ftp.scientificlinux.org is running
a little slow. So it is possible that some people are going to get
time-out's when they do yum updates.
I apologize, but at the moment, there isn't alot I can do but wait for
the wave to pass over.
If you are wondering about the load on the machine (this is a dual
opteron machine, just one core per processor)
ftp.scientificlinux.org
Load: 1550 (fluxuating between 1500 and 1600)
http connections: 258
ftp connections: 3166
rsync connections: 15
The one thing that has me concerned is the rsync connections. People
really should change their scripts to move to rsync.scientificlinux.org
instead of ftp.scientificlinux.org.
rsync.scientificlinux.org has an IP address of 131.225.110.33
It only has 14 current rsync connections, and from the network graphs,
it is getting alot more throughput simply because it isn't bogged down.
rsync.scientificlinux.org
Load: 2
rsync connections: 14
Thanks
Troy
