Hi,
Why is Mozilla being available in BitTorrent?
I am just wondering.
I thought that BitTorrent was used for very large downloads like linux .iso files.

BitTorrent can be used for anything, although it is particularly useful for Linux ISOs.

To ease the strain on the Mozilla FTP servers.

Hyped Mozilla releases such as 1.0, 1.4, 1.7, 2.0, etc... could let the servers fill up fast. I can only imagine what happens when Firefox goes gold.

It's well known that Mozilla's servers aren't exactly the fastest around, and with FireFox 0.9, Thunderbird 0.7 and Mozilla 1.7 all released within a few days of each other, there is going to be a lot of strain on their servers.

I never noticed a large performance lag in the Mozilla servers. Are you sure you didn't mean the Mozdev.org servers? Those are the slowest things I've seen.

Hi,
Mozdex servers being slow?
Try radio-info.com the boards are very slow sometimes it takes over 25 minutes to load pages in heavy site usage times.

And, if you think about it, when most of the Mozilla projects such as CCK gt finished, that will be even worse. I wouldn't be surprised if I see the Mozilla FTP server split into two different servers with one for programs such as Appsuite, Firefox, Thunderbird, Camino, etc... and another for CCK, SpiderMonkey, Calendar, etc...

There is really no need for a Bugzilla FTP server. Since it's a bug tracking library, it can probably stay in HTTP format for now.
