there are a number of factors to count in. We try to provide the best 
mirror possible, but from time to time, this simply does not work and 
you have to manually choose a mirror.


Different ISPs have different peerings, so do different mirror 
datacenters, and it may happen that even a business connection (which 
normally does not have any higher priority, by the way) is slower than a 
cheap connection at another ISP.


The best is to report your ISP/IP and the mirror chosen, so we can 
adjust the mirrors priority and see if it helps.

Can you start a download of LibreOffice and tell me which mirror you get 
that is slow? The mirror URL should be shown in the download progress

 Do I assume right that moving the Torrent seed to a VM would mean we have

doesn't make sense, as you would have to duplicate the whole thing. So
unless you want to create our own stable mirror besides the master, it
would be a waste :-)

 I'd like to keep bilbo2 as clean as possible, and
 IIRC, the current Torrent setup is a bit, well, complicated. :-)

Actually it is pretty straightforward - you got the tracker, you got
the seed and you're done ;-)

So only moving the torrents is a bad idea. But when you want to create
our own mirror (but why would you do that), then OK.

Nope, webseeds are traditional mirrors (as opposed to peer-to-peer),
and those sync via rsync.
Those are added to the torrent files and can be used as fallback in
case the tracker is offline or when there is no seed available.

2013-04-02 Thread Jonathan Aquilina
ahh very interesting indeed :) I am not understanding what exactly the
issue is in this thread. I have to say that torrents are so much better
then traditional means to download.

Im think though with standard downloads granted they are throttled and
seems like rather heavily. Regardless what mirror i use in my geographic
location the downloads start off at a decent speed and eventually slow down
to a crawl. This leaves much to be desired in the sense of someone setting
this up in an organization as mission critical piece of software.

Neither the tracker nor seeding the torrents generates noteworthy load

the number of concurrently seeded files, and not too many people
download using the torrents.
And as you said: The swarm supports itself, reducing the load even

We have the spare bandwidth on the server, and it doesn't conflict
with pushing to the mirrors either (as it only sees the new torrents
when the files are made public, i.e. when the initial set of mirrors
already do carry the files.

 - I thought that providing some .torrent files
 should support the distributed community to provide the files manually. But,
 seems I just lack insight here, so I will shut up. :)

:-) - you do need someone to start seeding - otherwise you only have a
file that says byterange x to y has checksum a, byterange w to v has
checksum b, ..., other peers gather at tracker - then the client
visits tracker, sees the other peers that want the same file, but
nobody offers them. So you need to get one copy out into the swarm -
and that is mainly the job of the client setup on bilbo.
(again I exclude the webseeds here, so in theory a random client could
start by downloading the file using the webseed and then seed to the
swarm. But as most users have ADSL and their upload is comparably
slow, there /should/ be a box that can seed fast)

But

 Ah, ok. Can you write some documentation for the torrent setup, if we gonna
 reinstall it in bilbo2?

I already did so some time ago - it is in our internal git-based
documentation-setup. Configuration seems huge, but that contain all

A seedbox is pointless. As we have our own servers that are neither at
their bandwidth nor at the storage limit.
So if not on bilbo itself, we could still use one of our other
servers, no need for an additional seedbox.

But using another server is pointless from my POV, as we'd duplicate
our whole mirroring. That of course can be done on purpose, but then
not just for the torrents, but rather to provide a full regular mirror
with torrent-seed functionality.

My point is that it doesn't impact the webserver or other setup, both
client as well as tracker are self-contained, they don't add any
significant amount of load, so personally I don't see a reason to
separate it from the master-mirror.
(but if we'd setup another mirror within our own infrastructure
besides the main-mirror, i.e. have download1.documentfoundation.org
and download2.documentfoundation.org - then it doesn't matter where
the torrent setup resides, it can be on the slave duplicate and
doesn't have to be on the master one.)

If your downlink is faster than the uplink of a mirror then you might want
to try a mirror closer to you or a mirror with higher bandwidth for the
uplink or maybe use a download manager that can use multiple mirrors to
accelerate the download of a file.

I am thinking whether we should host the Torrent on bilbo2 in the 
future, or put it into a separate VM. I'd like to keep bilbo2 as clean 
as possible, and IIRC, the current Torrent setup is a bit, well, 
complicated. :-)


Do I assume right that moving the Torrent seed to a VM would mean we 
have to copy all of the served files there as well?

mirrorbrain won't really help, as those are meant to be torrent-seeds,
while mirrorbrain deals with http/ftp mirrors.

The idea with those is to assure that there are capable seeds for the
box ASAP, without taking the detour of downloading the file using a
traditional mirror.

While rtorrent on bilbo likely has enough bandwidth, it has a limit
set on the open files, or in other words the number of concurrently
seeded torrents. So having dedicated seed for the files where
torrent-use is most likely (large iso) and on the other hand
low-volume (comparably few users download the iso - other files like
for example the windows installer can easily sustain themselves by the
swarm, even when the file is in the queue on bilbo).

But since we now have webseeds within the torrents, not having a
dedicated torrent-seed available is not that much of a problem.

But I also don't see a reason against the rsync module - the torrents
are there anyway, and the tiny torrent files shouldn't put any stress
on the server - it enlarges the config, but that's about it :-)

But of course left to the Box-staff to decide whether they want it.

(and re rss: there currently is none - the tracker would have the
capability to create rss feeds, but as torrents downloaded using the
tracker won't have the matching webseeds, end-users should in general
visit the download page/download the on-the-fly generated torrent from
mirrorbrain)

correct.

In case of goettingen machine it's an automated additional archive of all .iso
files released by tdf.

to give a snapshot of recent traffic on my machine:

   LO-4.0.0_English-NA-DVD_All-Platforms_Multi-Lang_plus-extras_v1.iso
done 3565,6 MB Rate:   0,0 /   0,0 KB Uploaded: 97199,8 MB   [T

   LibOx-3.6.5_Deutsch_DVD_allplatforms_multilang_extras_v1.iso
done 4288,7 MB Rate:   0,0 /   0,0 KB Uploaded: 63960,2 MB   [T

done 4068,2 MB Rate:   0,0 /   0,0 KB Uploaded: 71814,7 MB   [T 
 R: 17,65]

So in summary it's approx. 67 DVDs or 261272 MB (260GB) served by my machine
and something similar by the others for the ISOs currently in the loop.

As Christian stated, it's not of any harm to keep it alive.

Also not to forget: It's an easy to activate and to extend emergency

[libreoffice-website] libobox-torrent rsync module

2013-03-27 Thread Florian Effenberger

Hello,

I'm currently preparing the rsync configuration for a migration to the 
new bilbo. I've stumbled across this module:


# some seeders still syncing box torrents from here - no optimal 
solution, but

# a good one to keep them alive until having a recommended replacement.
[libobox-torrent]
hosts allow = *
path = ###obfuscated###
list = true
exclude = *
include = *.iso.torrent

Is this still required?

I once set up that module to serve those mirrors that already were in place to

 (and I can hardly imagine a solution that would be superior to using

exactly that is the reason it exists. It was a 5 minute action to setup and
it's running upto now.

 -- apart from maybe an rss feed, since many clients have rss-support
 built-in. )

I surely won't start to fiddle with rss, so my private seed will stop after
closing the module and the goettingen server will as well - in case nobody will
change that system.
I'm quite sure there is no feed in place. But I might be wrong with this.

 My main question is: Do we need it,

Well, I'd assume not really.

 or rather, what is it needed/used for?

- It's by far the easiest way to automatically donate traffic for the LibO-Box
  exclusively.
- It is the successor of the former PrOOo-Box instant testing network.
