Network distribution medium #46

Open lewtds opened 11 years ago

lewtds commented 11 years ago

Today I realize that distributing gokien on the Internet would be very bandwidth-consuming. Faced with such a challenge, we have some choices:

Use torrent as the only medium
Buy a CDN service (not sure about pricing but CloudFlare has a free package though, I'm evaluating it on my homepage now)
Host iso's on SourceForge (a bit slow in my experience, mirror detector is a bit dumb)
Host them on our server (suicidal)

We have got one more choice to mirror it on Virror. It would be the main (public) source for downloading Gokien. Our server (which original built iso) should be for internal use only.

We can also use Torrent, of course.

@myguidingstar made remark that CloudFlare could restrict download file size. We need to setup a test scenario.

Setup CloudFlare on gokien.org (it's free and acts like a proxy server but we need to change domain name resolver server)
Simultaneously ask 20 people to download our iso. Measure the speed.
Do it again after 30 minutes..
