Hum, do you suggest having all the .hdr on all the clients ? That sounds
Thats pretty much what you have now with up2date. Disk is cheap. You have
all the base .hdr's from the install.
Another point is that the repository metadata evolves gradually, I am
not sure
BitTorrent act on a versionned or delta way when operating on a set, probably
but I wonder how this would interfere with the change of the seed.
If you start bt with a file that some segment has changed on then it thinks
its restarting froma partial run so fills it in. If segments move its
screwed up. That means a single hdr archive which simply grows on the end
as errata should be ok as I understand it - and in part the idea relies
on this.
