==Possible Uses of the Tracker==

[http://obletorr.upd.edu.ph Obletorr] ("Oble" - [[UP_Oblation#The_UP_Oblation|oblation]] + "torrent") is DILC's Bittorrent tracking service that facilitates the efficient, highly resilient peer-to-peer distribution of files. Encouraging the sharing of limited bandwidth, it complements [[Uvle|UVLe]]'s file upload feature (now limited to 50Mb per file). Obletorr has no file size limit.<br /><br />
Inside UP Dilnet is [[Obletorr-Ikot]]. It has no public Internet access, hence the sharing of large files is limited to users within the UP Dilnet only.

The tracker may be used to
* facilitate the sharing of class projects (like videos, photos, data sets, databases) that involve files larger than 50Mb (the current limit of UVLe upload per file)
* provide alternative means of distributing DILC contents
* help distribute official UP media files
* help transmit coverage of public events at the University
* help distribute efficiently open source applications within the University (as opposed to downloading the apps from sites outside UP, which takes up substantial bandwidth that may slow down overall network traffic going in and out of UP)
* help (re)distribute relevant materials under Creative Commons and other licenses that allow free redistribution
* help distribute demo audio/video from UP artists and scientists
