[Live-demo] Torrents - was build process

[Brian M Hamlin]

hi Hrvoje -
 
  this comes up with some regularity.. basically, torrents work well 
when there are many simultaneous downloads. 
The frequency and volume of OSGeo-Live downloads is not a good fit to 
the Torrent model.. 
 
  best regards from Berkeley, California

       Hi Hrvoje,
With your permission from IRC, I'm forwarding your email to the
OSGeo-Live list. 
There are others on the list who should be able to answer this question
better than I. 

Warm regards, Cameron
