Well, this should be possible if we can clean up the ftpmirror filesystem
a bit (Richard? Phil? Joy?). It might take a while to build the full iso
set from jigdos and then torrents out of them, but it should be doable in
a few days.
Since I'd rather not drop the current stable iso set it will be a bit
tight with the current storage. If Richard Atterer can drop most of the
dvd-generation data it should fit though. Anyone have exact numbers for
how much space it will take?
Also note that for a low number of downloaders, the plain http is likely
to be faster, since bittorrent uses an order of magnitude more cpu for
pushing bits.
