very slow Drupalcon videos?

In anyone else have a helluva time viewing the Drupalcon
videos posted
on http://www.archive.org ?

I'm getting transfer rates like 18 kB/sec, which is pretty
silly if
one wants to watch a video with size > 100 MB.

Is it possible to provide them via Bittorrent?

How stable is the bittorrent module? This is the *exact*
usecase for  
it: providing a good means to distribute Drupal videos to
the  
community. I've just checked and the last commit was
September 22.  
Perhaps we can install it on s.d.o?

The videos from FrosCon were distributed using Bittorrent.
We don't  
necessarily need to use the Drupal bittorrent module, any
tracker  
software is fine.

Sorry the downloads are slow.
they actually uploaded pretty quickly at the drupalcon
itself, less
than 15 minutes per video.
now I'm uploading the rest of them on a slower
connection...

Thanks robin for the coblitz tip. It seems the download
speeds vary
depending on time of day, which archive.org node you're
downloading
from, etc.

Btw, does anyone know if the video from the main room is
online? I
missed most of those sessions while filming upstairs..

Thanks for the tip.

I got an error message saying that it was overloaded, the
drupal
effect? ;)

Because the videos on archive.org were to slow to watch, I
downloaded
the them to my server and watched them from there. They are
still
available if anyone is interested:

Its only a simple VPS, but it should do a couple hundred
KB/s. Enjoy.
