[Foresight-distro] Re: Foresight 2.0 Alpha 3 Released

[Bertrand Juglas]

I've tried both http and bittorrent download and torrent download was
so slow compared to http download that i've decided to download first
by http and after the download is complete in few minutes i will seed
it by bittorrent to help speed up the torrents seeds.
I will continue to seed at 300 kB/s until the end of the month on both
torrents x86 and x86_64.
Do you think it is needed also for stable version of Foresight ?
