- Description: apt helper for peer-to-peer downloads of Debian packages
- Apt-P2P is a helper for downloading Debian packages files with APT.
- It will download any needed files from other Apt-P2P peers in a
- peer-to-peer manner, and so reduce the strain on the Debian mirrors.
- .
- The Apt-P2P daemon runs automatically on startup and listens for
- requests from APT for files, as well as maintaining membership in a
- Distributed Hash Table (DHT). For any files which have a hash
- available (most files), peers that have the file are looked for in the
- DHT. The file can then be downloaded from them, using the uploading
- bandwidth of other peers while reducing the demand on the Debian mirror
- network. However, if a package can not be found on any peers, Apt-P2P
- will fall back to downloading from a mirror to ensure all packages are
- downloaded. Once downloaded, the file is hash checked and added to the
- DHT so that other peers can download it without the mirror.
- .
- The configuration is very simple, and only involves prepending
- 'localhost' and the port to your current sources.list lines (similar
- to other apt-proxy-like software).
