Description of problem: In large environments there is often a lot of stress put on a repository published via http(s). While there are ways to load balance the http endpoint it still becomes a single point of failure when a distributed downloading solution can be implemented.
Other options are distributed file systems and using file:// repos but they are not always available in some environments or have more management overhead that is not desirable.

Expected results:
There should be a way to join machines to a torrent pool and then have package update files distributed throughout the pool instead of downloading from a single source.

Additional info:
There obviously still needs to be a seed server but that would have relatively low overhead once 10+ systems can download the packages. This type of distribution can be very helpful when environments grow into the 1000s of machines as package updates can easily saturate a 1Gb and possibly even a 10Gb network interface.

If this is possible via a yum/dnf plugin please let me know. I only briefly looked at the plugin documentation.

Outside of setting up a mirrorlist url are there any other best practices for distributing package updates at large scale?
