isohunt seeding Belenix ISOs
Tuesday, Sep 4. 2007 – Category: OpenSolaris
happened to be visiting my favourite BitTorrent site, isohunt, this weekend and saw the following on their frontpage:
Since the nice folks over at Genunix.org the makers of Belenix (an OpenSolaris distribution) have decided to use us to distribute their torrents, and their trackers were failing under the load, I’ve decided to upload their torrent to torrentbox.com with us listed as an additional tracker, hopefully this will help out the folks at tuxdistro.com.
Anyway, I’ve been nice enough to ‘donate’ one of our machines (a02.ext.isohunt.com) as a seed box and one of my personal machines as well, let’s hope that it helps get this distro out into the public eye.
The isoHunt hosted .torrent files are located at: link and link2 if you’d like to download them and give ‘em a try.
A personal note to folks who think that isoHunt and the bittorrent protocol don’t have significant non-infringing uses: pull your heads out, the above project is exactly the type of thing that we’re here for.
How cool is that?

Did you see the number of downloads (seeds and leachers). There were about 3000 when I last checked just for seeds! That kind of numbers are generally seen for pirated blockbuster.
I almost fell out of my seat when fellow BOSUG-ians told me about it.

isoHunt is only too pleased to help with this distro. Despite rumors to the contrary, bittorrent has lots of uses that are not “pirate” based and isoHunt wants to help highlight the opportunities that peer distribution can have.
Thank you, whacked.net for pointing out some positive things we do!
