Hi all,
Inspired by [1] I went to check if Debian's torrent files have web seeds
in them but it doesn't look like they do. I'm guessing that debian-cd
uses the bittorrent package to create .torrent files, unfortunately this
does not seem to support web seeds. There is, however, a fork of
bittorrent called bittornado that supports web seeds. My naive untested
patch to add support for this to debian-cd is below. Thoughts?
