I
assume adding them to bittorrent is a good idea, as a lot of users will
probably use a torrent program to get them, lessening the impact on the project’s
bandwidth. However, that shouldn’t be the only way to get the product. Fedora
and CentOS both have CD ISO and DVD ISO torrents, many mirrors have CD ISOs, a few
have the DVD ISOs as well. Is it possible to get XCP added to some mirrors as
well?

Subject: [Xen-users] XCP Downloading and Xen.org
Xen Community:
As you are aware, the Xen Cloud Platform has been available
for download since last November and is becoming a very successful release for
Xen.org. In fact, we are seeing substantial network traffic for this solution
as we had 26 TB of data from XCP downloads in the past 4 weeks. Of course, this
amount of traffic is forcing a re-examination of our co-location agreements as
we are moving toward the limit of our monthly bandwidth and may face
substantial increases in costs as XCP continues to find new users.
I have a proposal to move the XCP iso images to bittorrent
for downloads, thereby reducing the bandwidth pressure on the Xen.org website.
I am looking for community feedback on this idea and look forward to your
thoughts.
Thank you.
