From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: I am fond of the FTP and HTTP install metohods using the bootable CD made from boot.iso - but I would be even more happy to see a "BitTorrent" option. Benefits include very little input, since only the tracker needs to be input. Other benefits would be significatly lower pressure on your servers and mirrors. I am not able to supply an enhancement to do this, but if you point to some files of the anaconda program where the enhancement may be input, some one else may be able to do it. I'll be glad to help you test it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Patch 2. Get test-results from me 3. Profit :-) Additional info:
It would be nice if when this feature is implemented, there would also be possible to have a checkbox with "Create cd-rom/dvd images from Bittorrent downloads". That way, the install can proceed quickly by Bittorrent but future installs can also be done from those burned images.
The problem is that bittorrent is really only useful for larger files and when the people using it join the torrent. Which doesn't work so well with the way the installer works.
