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?
