Summary: .torrent distribution is key
Product: XML Snapshots
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: General
AssignedTo: ar...@wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: s...@ludd.net
CC: tf...@wikimedia.org
Without citing stats, these huge files demand multisourcing, either over HTTP
using mirrors, or even better, using bittorrent. I hear this will dramatically
improve bandwidth demand.
bittorrent is particularly nice, because files can be selectively downloaded
from within the bundle. You could provide a single torrent containing all
outputs from a particular wiki snapshot date.
