That's why it is used ... do you understand that it uses bandwidth in a kind of "Parallel" fashion? The more peers that share the load the faster it works... and the longer you leave a Torrent share "UP" the more the rest of the users benefit. I for one am thinking of leaving a torrent running 24x7 with some files like the Fedora ISO's for that reason... Really the FTP model kinda sucks for mass distribution of files, a torrent-like model really is the future IMHO ... > > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
