<vagrantc>glad you liked the talk :)

<oriansj>it certainly improved my saturday (along with Alexander Sosedkin's talk)

<oriansj>which made me wonder if the sha3sum.c is good enough to remove the need for openssl's use case in NixOS's bootstrap thus making it easier to bootstrap from nothing.

<pabs3>janneke: using the archive.org torrent download system is much faster, can't use rtorrent to download though, since it doesn't use webseeds

<pabs3>transmission works though

<pabs3>as does vlc-bittorrent

<oriansj>well webseeds only matter if there are no other seeders

<oriansj>and url-list would be used to indicate something that wget or curl could download

<oriansj>As the client uses the links to assemble ordinary HTTP URLs.

<pabs3>in the IA case, there usually are only the webseeders that IA provide

<pabs3>and each IA individual server seems to have slow downloads, but together via th ewebseed torrents they are faster
