I assume adding them to bittorrent is a good idea, as a lot of users will
probably use a torrent program to get them, lessening the impact on the
project's bandwidth. However, that shouldn't be the only way to get the
product. Fedora and CentOS both have CD ISO and DVD ISO torrents, many
mirrors have CD ISOs, a few have the DVD ISOs as well. Is it possible to
get XCP added to some mirrors as well?

Subject: [Xen-users] XCP Downloading and Xen.org
Xen Community:
As you are aware, the Xen Cloud Platform has been available for download
since last November and is becoming a very successful release for Xen.org.
In fact, we are seeing substantial network traffic for this solution as we
had 26 TB of data from XCP downloads in the past 4 weeks. Of course, this
amount of traffic is forcing a re-examination of our co-location agreements
as we are moving toward the limit of our monthly bandwidth and may face
substantial increases in costs as XCP continues to find new users.
I have a proposal to move the XCP iso images to bittorrent for downloads,
thereby reducing the bandwidth pressure on the Xen.org website. I am looking
for community feedback on this idea and look forward to your thoughts.
Thank you.
