A note from Matt Dralle:



Now, if there are two people trying to download it at the same time, the 

total download time will double for each person or 1 hour 10 minutes. If 

there are three people, it will triple, etc.



I next took a look at the web logs for this file and found that there are a 

ton of people in the last couple of days trying to download the file. If 

you look at the time stamps, many of these are occurring at the same time. 

That's just a lot of data for a lot of people to pull off the server at one 

time. It also looks like a lot of people are thinking something is wrong, 

so after a while, then stop the transfer and start it again, which just 

causes further delays as a whole."



    He tacked a copy of the download logs and

    there was a general overload of the server.



    Sometimes there were as many as 6 or 7 folks

    trying at the same time which DOES slow things

    down a lot.



    I'll suggest that folks still looking at

    long downloads stop terminate the activity

    and then wait a week or so. The server is

    simply swamped right now.



    If our benevolent brother -Dj is able to support

    this activity with wider bandwidth, perhaps

    we'll have an alternate repository that

    facilitates better service.

    Try:

    If it doesn't overload the server, I should be able to leave this up

for a few days.

   -Dj, I'm not going to link to the mirrors directly

   from the website. This will reduce download traffic

   to individuals who are cognizant of the mirrors by

   virtue of their participation here on the List.



   Need to think about the best way to handle this

   in the future. Thank you so much for your interest

   and assistance!

    That sounds like a good idea.

    I'd recommend Bittorrent.  It is designed for this sort of thing,
	


and spreads the bandwidth among many machines versus just one server. 

You can provide a web link on the server that points to the seed of the

bittorrent file, and as more clients download parts of the file, they

also share in the distribution by allowing other client machines to

download the part they already have from them. As more people download,

they also share their bandwidth to help upload to the other people.  A

true sharing system.

Interesting idea. So do I have to do anything to offer my server or is it

automatic? If I download to my PC I would think my operating system may

prevent this sharing unless I do something to allow access. I'm uploading

the CD to my website, will post a link when it's ready.

Obviously wikipedia entries need to be taken with a grain of salt, but

here's what's been written there about BitTorrent:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent



Interestingly, while I am at work (big corporate), I can't actually go to

any of the peer-peer webpages..  It appears that if we want to share

something on BitTorrent, somebody will have to start it by downloading

some client software (with Bob's permission).  Use this software to select

the Aeroelectric Book to be made into a BitTorent, which will divide the

book into multiple small chunks.  Then it appears that people that want to

access the torrent would also download the client - allowing them to

participate in the Torrent.



After writing this, I realized that you might not be asking about

BitTorrent..    To just do a plain hosting/sharing, you'd have to save a

copy of the downloaded manual to a web/ftp viewable location..  I don't

know whether your server is setup for this.  My ISP only provides about

20M, so I can't host it with my current setup.

Regards,



Matt-
