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.
