But it would make kernel.org quite unhappy. Also the other problem we have is that with over a 100 machines in 80+ DC's around the world, just seeding the .centos.org network takes about 2 days. We did optimise some of the routes that we use and have been doing regular pipeline testing to see what are the best sort of rsync tree's we can setup, but 2 days is realistically the earliest we can open msync up to external mirrors. Then there is the issue of non-public private mirrors rsyncing off msync and contesting with the public mirrors :/ Last time I checked ( and I accept this was a while back ) - we had about 3800 people pulling from msync, we dont have nearly as many public mirrors. > In any case, I suggest/expect that the torrent seeds/downloads would > not effect mirror operators or the servers themselves unless the admin > decided to also seed the torrent.

I know that Ralph is working on something of this nature, and there are atleast a couple more people helping and there have been some spike tests for various options. So its definitely in the pipeline, not sure if there is a delivery-date though. - KB
