They were blazing fast! AFAICT they were not published but do exist somewhere, and they worked for me. I was however under the impression torrent as a distribution system isn't that much in use as it used to be. When eventually stopping the client after a few days I've seldom seen an upload/download ratio reaching even just one.

I just re-enabled their integration at https://grml.org/download/ for now. > I was however under the impression torrent as a distribution > system isn't that much in use as it used to be.

I personally don't use them at all, and am wondering whether they are really relevant to our users out there? Otherwise it would save me some extra steps in our release process and we could also get rid of yet another service on our infrastructure. :) regards -mika- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
