Because portage downloads files in one dir ... the ebuild can be in that format .. |
| 15 |
there are many options .. but having as much details in the file name would make it easer to find files locally on on the net ... |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
but it's just an idea :) |

This can release alot of load from the distfile mirrors ... and should really be looked at, |
| 43 |
esp if one of the mirrors go down etc etc there is another machine with the files availible .. |

I'm not very clued up on p2p .. I don't personally use it often if at all, but I think |
| 50 |
distributed system for distfiles can be very successful for gentoo ... for both source and binary systems. |
