Hi all,
Bot users are able download database dumps of the wikimedia projects at http://download.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html. These bzipped dumps can be fairly large (especially for the English language). Would not it be handy to have a bitorrent link to lower the load on the download server?
It would definitely be handy. Does anyone know of a stable site which will host the tracker server for us (for free)? Surely there is one out there, since they'd only have to host the tracker server, not the file itself.
