We are talking about the download speed for nightly builds right now. (At least that was the problem i reported) I doubt torrents would help here as i highly doubt nightly builds will ever reach the critical mass required for torrents to be effective. On 10/03/19 04:09, Andrew Lutsenko wrote:

If you have to choose just one method of distribution, then sure, torrents are not the best. But there is absolutely no reason to stay away from them since there is no such limitation, we can have both mirrors and magnet links. Good portion of tech savy people will choose p2p download because it

Mirrors are better. Torrents are either not allowed on some networks or people don't know how to use them or don't care to install the required software, some of which is not malware/ad-free. So my suggestion is to stay away from torrents. On Sat, Mar 9, 2019 at 3:23 PM Andrew Lutsenko wrote: >

I think torrents are the best solution. Even when servers function normally on each release there is a stampede to download new binary and things slow down to a crawl. I don't know if moving to CERN servers (AWS servers?) will help but torrents certainly would. It's as simple as creating a

Thanks. If we are having issues with the CERN download speeds (although it is not entirely evident that is the issue) it would be good to have alternate mirrors for users to try if they are having issues with the main download server. On 3/9/2019 11:27 AM, Mark Roszko wrote: > I believe Nick was

Hi, it seems that some of our users struggle to download nightly builds for windows from the cern servers right now. Is this an expected sideeffect of the server move or is there currently a problem? The original report was made over here:
