BitTorrent is an interesting, new, open source project. It enhances Internet file downloading with peer-to-peer ideas, taking a lot of the burden off the central server. I tried it out last night. What I didn't know until after I had downloaded it is that BitTorrent is written in pure Python! It integrates with the browser in the same way as ExternalEditor does, with a special mime type that launches BitTorrent. The client is relatively easy to install and very easy to use. http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ It would be cool to see a Zope product that takes advantage of this. It would be very simple--it would allow users to download anything in Zope via BitTorrent. Say you have a file at: http://zope.example.com/linux/kernels/kernel-2.4.19.tar.gz You could point your users at the following URL and have everything "just work": http://zope.example.com/linux/kernels/kernel-2.4.19.tar.gz/torrentify It would take a huge burden off your server. Anyone interested? I shouldn't take this on myself, but I'd happily help someone out! Shane
