Eclipse BitTorrents?
Antoine made me do it, I swear.
I set up Osprey, a BitTorrent permaseed/tracker developed by iBiblio. It’s still in its early stages, but you can see what it looks like (and even seed a download).
Please help me test this thing:

Will you be running milestones and integration builds over bittorrent in addition to releases? I like to use the Ibiblio tracker for downloading (and seeding!) releases, but I make more milestone downloads than releases on the whole.

Nice! Thanks for doing this Denis. There could be some interesting potential here given that there’s a BT ECF provider which means in theory, we could transparently get p2 to use this for downloads.

Hi,
This is a great idea
I have a problem though : I’m trying to download eclipse-SDK-3.4.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz.torrent using Transmission 1.34 (6778) on Ubuntu 8.10, but I’m stuck at 0% and no seeds.
Cheers

Hum … later on 2 peers connected and I was able to finish the download.
Still, isn’t the permaseed supposed to solve the 0 connected seeders problem ?

@Daniel: I don’t know yet. I would like to.
@Jawher: the permaseed is a bit flaky and is dying on me, hence the reason for this testing

Same as @Jawher - no seeds and no download

Apparently the version I installed is oldish and quite unstable. I’ll be moving to the newer version shortly. Thanks for all your help!
