We're in debian (and hence knoppix), and gentoo. Both of these packages have come from users of BitTorrent. Other packages like a ports style one will currently also have to come from users. BT isnt a company, nor will it ever be FYI. The BT teams works only on development of the protocol and its python implementation (and some platform specific guis). The tar.gz is a very clean self contained directory, so having a actual package is *almost* overkill since there is no building involved (since its in python). Anyway, give the link below a try and see how you like it, keep in mind that since barely anyone participated in this torrent (b/c our publicity efforts on here and on slashdot didnt have much effect) that the performance won't be amazing. The more people torrenting on a given file, the better it performs for all people. --- Eric Anderson <anderson@centtech.com> wrote: > Hunter Peress wrote: > > ------------------- > > Hi, im on the BitTorrent team. > > (http://bitconjurer.org/bittorrent) > > In one line: its a protocol and an implemenation for > > p2p sharing of > > specific files; its not a search network. > > > > Everything is free AND open. > > > > We mirrored 5.0 AS SOON as it came out, but we didnt > > get any publicity. > > ( http://tacos.sus.mcgill.ca/~hperes/BT_BSD5.0/ ).
