Comment on Using BitTorrent with Amazon S3parent

Comments

A couple of months ago I tested with Transmission (on a Mac) and it worked fine. The problem from my point of view was that the S3 side only seeded at 50-100 KB/sec, but if I downloaded directly from S3 I could pull 2MB/sec.

Unless you have a bunch of seeds, that are essentially permanent, it's pretty useless.

Might still be useful as a seeder of last resort to borrow done finance terminology. Ie back a large number of say community nix isos with it.
