Hello,
Am I allowed to run a BitTorrent seed from the Toolserver? If so, what is the maximum upload capacity that I should use? The seed is for the Commons Picture of the Year 2006 & 2007.
Is this like a delayed message? We were running a POTY seed on toolserver months ago.
I found that BT clients consume an ungodly amount of cpu before they consume an ungodly amount of bandwidth. ;) I also found that BT was pretty useless for POTY, in the two months or so that I ran a seed found that only one other client stayed around seeding long enough to help anyone download at all, and they didn't even help much.
As a result I think that download.wikimedia.org is a better home for this.
