apt-transport-debtorrent 0.2.1ubuntu2 (amd64 binary) in ubuntu jaunty
This package contains the APT debtorrent transport. It makes it possible to
use 'deb debtorrent:
sources.list file.
.
For an overview of the DebTorrent program, see the 'debtorrent' package.
.
You don't actually need this package to use the DebTorrent program, it will
work fine using the regular http:// transport.
.
However, using this method has some advantages over HTTP. Unlike the
traditional HTTP method, this transport will send all possible requests to
DebTorrent as soon as it recieves them, which will speed up the download
as peers can be contacted in parallel. This method also allows the
DebTorrent client to return files to APT in any order, which is important
since BitTorrent downloads proceed in a random order. Additionally, this
method uses a very similar protocol to HTTP, and so can easily be used to
access a DebTorrent client running on another host.
