Has anyone actually used this successfully with Ubuntu. From reading the web site it seems like it will only work with Debian, and then only with unstable. For example, from the FAQ:
Q: What are the current packages available ? A: At the moment, with the default testing configuration, the 100 largest binary packages from the Unstable/Sid Debian distribution are available. I guess anything other than those 100 largest binary packages from Sid would be downloaded by the normal HTTP methods, and so not help the archive's bandwidth at all. From the installation section: Note that you cannot benefit of apt-torrent with the stable Debian distribution (aka Sarge) yet, since the repository doesn’t contains any package from the Sarge distribution at the moment. I think some infrastructure would be needed to support this on Ubuntu, such as a torrent server, seeder, and tracker (unless the author is willing to support ubuntu as well). -- [needs-packaging] apt-torrent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153752 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
