Since the Eclipse servers are currently
being hosted by IBM, we are prohibited from providing peer to peer applications
due to corporate security policy.  That being said, if anyone has
a BitTorrent site that they would like to seed with Eclipse, please feel
free to do so.  Please send an email to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx with
the details of your site and we'll be happy to add it to our downloads
page.  Notes describing how to mirror Eclipse downloads are available
here

Subject	[eclipse-dev] New way of delivering eclipse?

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?
