You will probably waste a lot of development time for very little benefit. If you want to spend time hacking on bittorrent I'd very much recommend looking at making bittorrent suitable for synchronizing the red hat/fedora mirrors as quickly as possible then more/better failover and mirroring support in the update tools. -sv -- Fedora-config-list mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-config-list
