Create your own distribution torrents (Linux.com)

[Posted May 25, 2006 by cook]

Mayank Sharma shows how to distribute an ISO image with bittorrent on Linux.com. "The BitTorrent protocol has revolutionized peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. It works by enabling users to download fragments of a large file from other users simultaneously, rather than waiting for one file to complete, thus speeding the download process. As a result, many popular Linux distributions have started releasing their ISOs through torrents, many of which you can find at LinuxTracker. But if your favourite distro doesn't offer a release torrent, why not make your own?"
