RE: [eclipse-dev] New way of delivering eclipse?

Last time this came up wasn't the consensus to use Update Manager to handle general downloads?

I don't think we could use BitTorrent ourselves (firewalls and P2P wariness in a corporate setting) but since you said it would compliment the normal channels we could benefit from decreased load on the servers.

As 3.0 is approaching, and we are hoping to have a lot of downloads, I was wondering if we could use other technologies to complement the eclipse site and the mirrors. 
More precisely I'm thinking about Bit Torrent (http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/). Its peer-to-peer model would unload charge of our servers and would likely make the download faster for everybody. Of course, it will probably makes hard to count the number of downloads, but we know it will a lot anyway :-). 

Will this be possible?
