Hello,
As you might or might not know, the Commons Picture of the Year 2006 [1] is running. We have also made an archive [2], which we want to be available as a zip download. This archive contains all Featured Pictures of 2006 and their licensing and description. This archive is 550 MB big. Would it be possible to have it hosted on download.wikimedia.org?
Hi.
I've turned your directory into a 500mb zip. I've made a torrent from the zip. We can host a tracker on toolserver.
In addition to the wikimedia bandwidth, I can provide about 10mbit/sec.
We frequently see people advocating BitTorrent for download.wikimedia.org. I am not convinced that we get enough transfers of a single dump to make it worth while. However, POTY will probably get more traffic.. I think it would be a worthwhile experiment.
Any objections?
