* tracker for distributing a talking ISO via BitTorrent? @ Chris Brannon ` Tony Baechler 0 siblings, 1 reply; 6+ messages in thread From: Chris Brannon @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Hi list, I just finished creating a Speakup-enabled version of the ArchLinux install CD. I want to distribute my ISO, and I think that BitTorrent is the best way to do it. Can anyone suggest a good public tracker on which I can host my .torrent file? Preferably, I would not have to fill in an image-based captcha in order to upload. Thanks in advance, -- Chris ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Hi, I would suggest looking into ibiblio.org. They specialize in Linux distros among other things. I know that the Project Gutenberg DVD images are available through them, or at least I think they host the torrents. Also, you should still consider some kind of ftp or web site for download, such as hosting it on linux-speakup.org if Kirk lets you. There are many people who can't or won't use torrents for various reasons. Other than that, there are various public trackers but most will have the CAPTIA. You could try thepiratebay.org which I think is open, meaning that I don't think you have to register to use them. Other than that, I know that trackers aren't that difficult to run if you have enough bandwidth and a dedicated server. I would just ask on the various open source lists and sites to see if anyone would host it for you, maybe even the developers of the distro that you're working on. You could try irc.freenode.net as well since many open source people hang out there. If you find such a public tracker, I would also be interested as I'm trying to get a fairly large archive distributed that way also, but not related to Linux. I realize that this isn't much of an answer, but I would think that http://ibiblio.org/ would be your best bet.

Hi, Thanks for the offer, but I'm really looking for a tracker. I can handle the ftp archive myself, but it's rather large and tends to suck a lot of bandwidth. Like I said previously, I'm not sure if the torrent is still necessary, but it would be for people who want everything in the archive as opposed to individual files. I think it's about 1 GB. Again, I appreciate the offer but bandwidth would definitely be an issue for non-torrent archives. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

This is off topic for the Speakup list, but I'm trying to distribute various singing DEC-talk files. It's a long story, but the server hosting the archive suddenly went down and it appeared that I would be the only one with the means to give it a home. I'm not sure what the latest status is, but it seems that it has a new ftp host so perhaps the torrent is unnecessary. There was discussion about making a torrent which I never got around to doing because I couldn't find a tracker that I liked and my Linux machine went down shortly thereafter. Another possible archive would be my other interest, namely Apple II disk images, but my Apple stuff is a big mess and there could be accessibility and legal issues involved, although I doubt that the legal issues would matter nowadays. I'm more than happy to discuss this with you or anyone else, but please write off list. This is far afield from Speakup discussions.
