Comment on Amazon Cloud Traffic Is Suffocating Fedora's Mirrorsparent

Honestly, default behavior should be to at least share package files on the local network. But sharing to the wider internet should be fairly trivial in <current year>, we have no shortage of technologies that accomplish this.

I wish more systems had this kind of feature. I have a fat fiber connection, I'd be thrilled to pop up an unofficial mirror for something like a Linux distro. I've tried mirroring Linux ISO torrents, but it seems almost nobody ever downloads from a torrent, so I end up never actually uploading any of these images.
