Would that work with our up-to-the-second articles, or is it for large, static files only?
Maybe we should set up an optional torrent for the db-dumps? It doesnt seem like a bad idea. I mean it can't hurt, itakes just a second to set up and in case a couple of people are downloading the dumps at the same time it could be useful and save some bandwidth. even if it is not our main concern to save bandwidth, it never hurts.
We have plenty of bandwidth on wikipedia.org, and most people who are going to download don't ave that much, so it's going to only worsen situation.
