New releases will also be hosted on bittorrent.</b> - </p> - - <p> - <b>Why bittorrent? As we all know, bittorrent is inherently more efficient than a HTTP server - for large files, due to its peer-to-peer distributed nature. Libreboot releases are actually much - more efficient now, where ROM images for each machine are separated into their own tar archives. - The old 'binary' archive is now named 'utils'. Documentation is also deleted from 'utils' and 'src' - and now available in a separate archive. All of this means that the user has a much more streamlined - way of getting libreboot releases, with less data to download. Bittorrent will improve this even - further, giving users faster download speeds.</b> - </p> - - <p> - <b>Bittorrent is also redundant. The libreboot project will not actually host its own tracker at all, - but it will instead use many public trackers and publish the magnet links. The website is also - hosted in git, which means that everything is easier to mirror. If libreboot.org is down, you'll - still be able to download libreboot so long as you have those magnet links.</b> - </p> - - <p> - Information about these releases can be found under docs/release.html in the libreboot_docs archive - or in the git git repository.
