[GitHub] [hop] thadguidry opened a new issue, #2233: [Feature Request]: Add Magnet Link on Downloads page
thadguidry opened a new issue, #2233:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hop/issues/2233
### What would you like to happen?
It would be super awesome if peer-to-peer sharing of the Apache Hop binaries could be done.
This would be especially useful to me now that I have moved out of country USA, needless to say. :-)
One easy way would be to publish a Magnet Link (and have at least one seeder). Not sure how other Apache projects do their Magnet Links and keep at least 1 seed going... perhaps it's something offered by Apache server somewhere? dunno, but maybe Hop maintainers could ask the Apache Projects help mailing list or something to find out.
A note on Magnet Links and how they differ from Torrent files themselves:
> A torrent based on a magnet link hash is incredibly robust. As long as a single seeder remains online, anyone else with the magnet link can find them. Even if none of the original contributors are there. As long as the hash can be made from the torrent files again, existing magnet links will still work.

Many, but just off the top of my head...

You might be right about the ASF.
Hmm, seems like mirror is out of the question and the CDN takes care of things.
> As of the third quarter of 2021, the ASF stopped using its download mirror system. It is now using a global content distribution network (CDN).

Can you give an example of a project providing its files via Torrent? I do not think the ASF has a torrent server at its disposal.
