[oclug] Xandros releases Open Circulation Edition

[Messier, Jean-Francois]

BitTorrent, although I do not like it very much, seems to share only the
files you ask it to share. If you want to share files, you have to
create a .torrent file, and send it around. Or you can share what you
are currently receiving, thus helping others. All connections are
outbound, and it will work behind a firewall, link a LinkSys, even if no
inbound connection is allowed. 

I found BitTorent slower than other ways of receiving files, but if you
let it run, it can get the files, and I had no corrupted ones, after an
MD5 checksum.

I'll try it out. I was a beta tester for a version a couple of years 
ago. I like it.

What exactly is torrent? I am using it now it appears to me to be a 
file sharing application. How can I be sure it is only sharing the 
xandros product and not other things on my computer?
