I know this has been mentioned before, but there has still not been any answers for it.

The torrent protocol is far more efficient than ftp and http for downloading big files. Would it not be logical to put up a torrent as an alternative? I live in Brazil and the connection here is at times very bad. And I would love to try out eBox as I am writing a column for a newspaper in Norway. This is exactly the kind of software that I would like to write about. But first I need to try it myself.

Please put up a torrent so we can start downloading it.

You're right.

We try to set up a bittorrent tracker soon. Smiley

We will post here any update about this.

Hope you enjoy it!

Sorry, demo effect happened yesterday and there was a power outage in tracker host. Sad

But now it's working like a charm!
