[Xen-API] RE: [Xen-users] XCP Downloading and Xen.org

["Dustin Henning" <Dustin.Henning@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
