Bittorrent worked great!
So I needed to install Eclipse on my Mac at home and today was the day. Doh. Release day. I decided to give bittorrent a shot to see how things went. Well it took about 10 minutes to download and I was getting sometimes in excess of 800K per second according to Transmission. This really worked great this year. I wasn’t involved at all, Denis did all the work on that and deserves all the credit. I imagine Windows downloads were even better.

Yeah, and not only that — the Member distros took a lot of pressure off our download page, and the Amazon bandwidth took a lot of pressure off our mirrors.
I did crazy things yesterday like check in code! And download stuff! From the office! On Release day! That was unheard of in years past.

I downloaded several of the bittorrent files to help out with seeding. The only one I had problems with was the RCP package for linux x86_64. There were about ten people connected at about 90% and the seed appeared to be down. I took advantage of my fast connection through the university and downloaded the package from a mirror to finish seeding to the rest of the folks on bittorrent. Seemed to work great.
