yum-torrent - download packages via http and peer-to-peer
yum-torrent extends the behaviour of yum by downloading then seeding
packages via BitTorrent. Once installed and configured, the plugin
works transparently.
yum-torrent makes extensive use of cache files. The BitTorrent
client's cwd is set to the root of the cache by default. All
generated .torrent files are guaranteed to contain files in
subdirectories. Once a torrent download is complete the files are
hard or soft linked to the path in /var/cache/yum where yum will look
before starting it's own downloads, bypassing it.
yum-torrent will automatically clean up unused files and directories
left over from previous runs.
