But it would be really helpful if they would provide faster and more reliable downloads like Metalink and BitTorrent because they contain multiple mirrors to download from at once and checksums to ensure file integrity. In addition, expensive bandwidth will be saved for all the generous mirrors out there to provide the next 500 million downloads more easily. The Metalink Library has a simple command-line interface to generate Metalink and BitTorrent download files in one step: metalink.py --create-torrent=http://mozilla.org/announce mozilla.mirrors Firefox*.exe http://code.google.com/p/metalink-library/ Wow, this is great news!
