Hello,
Why don't you put the DVD iso file on the eDonkey network (as you do for
Bittorrent), and put an ED2K link on you web pages? It will be easier do
download it, as jigdo is very very slow... It will discharge your servers.
Probably because I don't know what eDonkey is. I know bittorrent as a p2p
http server offloader, which makes sense for the release rush.
Is there a good "eDonkey" server software around, or how else should one
"put them on the eDonkey network"?
Note that currently, your best bet for fast iso download would be plain
http download. Right now the ftp.se.debian.org mirror has about
30-40MByte/s in effective spare capacity. This might be different during
release though.
Oh, and regarding DVD iso, those aren't around because of space
constraints on cdimage.debian.org and mirrors. This means they can't be
published in any p2p setting either, but are only available as jigdos.
