Saw this at /. http://slashdot.org/...4/05/12/1635205

Hope this will be useful for any future UrT releases, or for anyone who has great stuff to share, such as those huge jump vids.

If you've a file that you think will be popular, but far too popular for your isp's bandwidth limits, you can just serve it as http://freecache.org...r.site/yourfile instead of the traditional http://your.site/yourfile and Freecache will do all the heavy lifting for you. Plus your users get the advantage of swiftly pulling the file from a nearby cache rather than it creeping off your overloaded webserver."

nice. I also think SID should consider using BT once the ET port is done

[Oswald (old)]

nope, we will continue to release via ftp, thanks.

[Nixon (old)]

I'm with Os, there is no need for a BT.

[Aarsbuds0r (old)]

Nah, there' s pretty much FTP's that want to host the file.

My university for example offers a 1000mbits FTP...
