The resultant "bittorrent extention" most likely won't actually be compatible with the current bittorrent protocol, and therefore shouldn't really be called bittorrent. At least bram doesn't think so. It is an idea that I heartily support, however. Then again, it seems very likely that we will have (real) bittorrent mirrors for the next ISO release from day 1, which will help immensely. -- Michael Janssen --- Jamuraa --- jamuraa at base0.net --- jamuraa at debian.org _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
