- <h1>Download libreboot</h1>
-
- <p>
- Torrent (magnet) links to releases, and links to third-party HTTP mirrors. Use this page
- to download libreboot. These are stable releases; for development (unstable) releases,
- refer back to the home page.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>This page isn't actually ready yet. For now, the official download page
- is at <a href="../docs/release.html">../docs/release.html</a>. On the next release of libreboot after r20150208,
- release archives will no longer be hosted on the libreboot.org HTTP server. Old releases
- will be deleted and moved to bittorrent. 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. See <a href="../docs/release.html">../docs/release.html</a>.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- It has been suggested to setup RSS feeds for this, so that people can automatically download and seed new releases.
- TODO: look into this.
