Xen Community: As you are aware, the Xen Cloud Platform has been available for download since last November and is becoming a very successful release for Xen.org. In fact, we are seeing substantial network traffic for this solution as we had 26 TB of data from XCP downloads in the past 4 weeks. Of course, this amount of traffic is forcing a re-examination of our co-location agreements as we are moving toward the limit of our monthly bandwidth and may face substantial increases in costs as XCP continues to find new users. I have a proposal to move the XCP iso images to bittorrent for downloads, thereby reducing the bandwidth pressure on the Xen.org website. I am looking for community feedback on this idea and look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.

[Xen-API] RE: [Xen-users] XCP Downloading and Xen.org
I assume adding them to bittorrent is a good idea, as a lot of users will
probably use a torrent program to get them, lessening the impact on the
project''s bandwidth. However, that shouldn''t be the only way
to get the
product. Fedora and CentOS both have CD ISO and DVD ISO torrents, many
mirrors have CD ISOs, a few have the DVD ISOs as well. Is it possible to
get XCP added to some mirrors as well?

Also, if I''m not mistaken, not much is gained by this move if xen.org turns out the be the only usable seed :-) I suspect what would really be needed are a few mirrors.

One site is in Brazil, another in Europe, and the third will be at various global sites. I should have them up and running early next week or later today depending on firewall settings. Thanks.
