Eclipse torrents, part II

In my never-ending quest to save everyone’s bandwidth, I put together some bit torrent files for the EPP packages, and for the Eclipse Classic download.  The tracker and seed are running on a minimalist virtual server, and I’m curious to see if it will be capable of handling the load that our marvellous Eclipse community can generate when a new Release is published.

If anyone wants to help me test this out, go ahead and seed your favourite downloads. If it works reliably, I’ll kindly ask Nathan to add the proper links to the main downloads page.

    Torrents work best when there is a huge number of people use them. I guess 3.4.2 is little out of date. Why don’t you try it with the M7 and RC builds? That might be a good point to see how many people are interested in torrents

    Agreed, but I want to test it before actually putting links on the Eclipse website…
