May 8, 200917 yr As another interim solution to help use torrent for beta releases. I got on the the beta 6 release very late and still managed to upload 13 copies. This bandwidth is free to you and uncapped (something your webhost is not). Also if i uploaded 13 copies and the tracker says 40 in total were downloaded (dont see how that adds up but tracker stats usually suck) that means people are happy to use it even though uNRAID cant actually torrent yet.... and right now there are still loads of seeds. Add ctorrent as webotech suggested with a simple script to check local version and scrape site to see if new one is out and you will get alot more. OK so its a bit more hastle but its so so worth it.
June 17, 201016 yr I know I'm very late to the game and I would 100% agree with the use of torrents. I personally would gladly offer up some bandwidth as a mirror on my site but, the only problem with a mirror is you never know if the person your trusting on the other end hasn't tampered with their file. With a torrent if all the bits don't match then well they don't hash out. Lord only knows how many torrents I've pulled down and let my machine sit idle for days/weeks until I remembered hey I should delete that.
