Is it possible to download the updates via torrent?
Is there software for Ubuntu, which allowes me to download and share the OS update packages with torrent? I want to relieve the servers of Canonical, so I already set up an apt cache server. But it would be really great to use ubuntu nearly fully independent of foreign servers.
It is clear to me, that there must be servers storing the hashes. But there are torrent solutions like Tribler, which doesn't need any server.
Solution 1:
Possible, maybe, chaotic, very. Please have a look at the debian wiki about this and the possible issues that you will have using BT as a download source for your updates.
There is a reason why when looking in google for "apt torrent good setup" or "working perfect" returns 0 good results will all the keywords.
