can't a ftp server be a BT seeder?
It should be no problem. The FTP-Server's owner has to start seeding, and I dont know if that is normal. It should be.
What makes me think of jigdo/jigsaw downloads. Debian uses this for its images / mirror sites. Ddue to my experience it's mostly a lot faster than torrent downloads, mostly. But to be honest I have no idea if this would work within a rpm based distribution. But it might be an interesting altenative to torrent images. regards, Thomas
