If you want to do it that way, just make sure you receive |
| 18 |
/experimental/bittorrent-http-seeding/2008.0/, and run your rtorrent in |
| 19 |
that directory, with no write access to the files - that will save you |
| 20 |
from having to double-allocate. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
If you don't have that directory, you can just make symlinks to the |
| 23 |
contents instead of copying. I did mean to say symlink originally, but |
| 24 |
forgot about it at the last moment. |

There's going to be an -r1 of the installer media coming out due to an |
| 27 |
installer bug, so seeding that when it pops out would be good. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Beware that the .torrents may be changed during runs, because they |
| 30 |
contain lists of fallback HTTP mirrors. |
