ciaobaby Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Only if Microsoft make it available on the BitTorrent protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeedingLootera Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 ah. I guess I got the wrong impression and thought it was possible after reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent#Web_seedingWeb seeding was implemented in 2006 as the ability of BitTorrent clients to download torrent pieces from an HTTP source in addition to the swarm.Too bad. I was hoping to put it in queue with my other downloads. oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yes, but the files have to be available in a BitTorrent form, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeedingLootera Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Can you indulge me a little bit further.. do they (the server) need to have utorrent (or other client) running as a seed -OR- do the files (iso in this case) itself have to be in BitTorrent form and then the regular HTTP server would work as both?

DreadWingKnight Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 They (in this case microsoft) need to make torrents of their files in order for uTorrent to download them AT ALL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeedingLootera Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Oh ok I get it now. Just like you "Create New Torrent" from utorrent. And then I'd have to add that torrent file just like any other torrent file. Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
