Bittorrent has more of a place w binary distros, eg Mandrake, |
| 9 |
where it was welcomed as a big improvement for downloading a new release. |
| 10 |
but there you want to get 3 ISOs all at once, as does everyone else, |
| 11 |
whereas here on Gentoo you download much smaller files |
| 12 |
& everyone is grabbing different pieces at different times, |
| 13 |
so it doesn't seem to have much relevance. |
