Hi, I did (finally) setup the drupal bittorrent module experimentally. I didn't do any load testing of the tracker but I doubt it would be an issue unless you are serving the latest hollywood blockbuster.. It would be cool if there was a d.o. or drupalcon.org site running this module -- although webseeding could mean significant bandwidth usage. This is optional however; you could rely on the community to seed for you. You could just create torrents and upload them to the drupal site, with the files permanently hosted elsewhere like archive.org btw it would be nice to have some integration between a video uploading module & bittorrent module (some sort of "glue" module, such that you upload a video and a torrent is created automatically) --mark On 10/1/07, Balazs Dianiska <csillagasz@gmail.com> wrote:
Can you upload them to archive.org like the others? How many videos do you have?
Gerhard, can't we upload them to the drupal.org FTP mirrors like we did previously, and like we did with the screencasts? (And there there is always Google Video.)
The bittorrent module has been mentioned in the other thread, why don't we use it for distributing these videos from drupal.org? Would it increase the CPU load significantly?
