As I saw the website providing torrents for 3.9 I just thought about
somethign for packages.

Isn`t it be possible to switch to torrents to install packages?
In fact there many mirrors and if they all would maybe use torrent the
synergy-effect would be great.

With the trackerless-torrents the Servers don`t even need to set up an
additinal Daemon (tracker).
It may would make more sense for the install sets because there are far
more packages but the synergy-effect would remain.

I think http://openbsd.somedomain.net/ proofs this concept right.

What`s your oppinion about this?!
This would reduce the load of the (Mirror-)Servers and peoples who`ve a
limited connection (e.g. traffic limit or who`ve to pay for each MB) could
still use FTP/http.
This would be also true for peoples who`re behind a restrictive Firewall
(even this limits just the Upload)

Kind regards,
Sebastian
