:blink: Mine is only 300 megs. That includes only the standard libraries though, no SDL or GTK or anything like that.PhonicUK said:The CodeSourcery ARM Toolchain is 1.3GB alone
Superseed. Create a torrent and give 4 people with fast connections the torrent file. Your client then serves each of them with only 1/4 of the file (no duplicates). Each of them then share their own received pieces among the other three. By the time you've uploaded the file once (1/4 to each of 4 people), all four of them have almost the complete image. You upload once, 4 people with fast connections have it, then you drop off and open the floodgates to everyone.PhonicUK said:I only have a 2Mb/256Kb connection, so I can't really seed a file this big.limetang said:Use BitTorrent or Usenet?

Then, many of us will leech it and put it on their hosting.WizardStan said:Superseed. Create a torrent and give 4 people with fast connections the torrent file.

Superseed: the most excellent of unused bitorrent features.

PhonicUK said:Problem is, that after zero-ing empty space and compressing the image, the result is 2.12GB in size. Needless to say I have no means of hosting this.
pfft! 360? C64 5-inchers were 160k and you considered yourself lucky if they loaded in five minutes without the drive rattling off the desk.hobbyman II said:aha! sneaker-net, the most advanced and rapid file sharing technology B) , error free :rolleyes: , immune to the whiles of the RIAA , immune to leaching and doesn't cost a fortune to host , how about you set up a DVD snail-mail chain-letter?, just mail a DVD to the first person on your list and include the list, they make a copy or download the image to their PC and send on the list and DVD (with their name crossed out), takes about a day to complete a file transfer inside the UK by first class post, that's faster than most peoples net connection for large files, plus it's prolly cheaper as well with the rates some ISP's charge.
edit: changed CD to DVD, showing my age :lol: (newfangled DVD rubbish, pah! in my day we had proper full sized 360k floppies and where in awe of em)

PhonicUK uploading it on the atiti's FTP. I still guess that before described superseeding will be better.Bigun said:Where are you seeing this? Did he drop a URL?atiti said:Hmmz, upload stopped at 436MB I guess we'll have to wait until PhonicUK resumes it..
