DILC is now developing a torrent tracker to serve the needs of its constituents. BitTorrent distributes files efficiently and encourages the sharing of limited bandwidth.
Readers are welcome to suggest the name for this torrent tracker. By far, suggested names include:
- isktorrage ("isko" + "torrent" + "storage")
- Obletorr ("Oble" - oblation + "torrent")
- isktorr ("isko" +"torrent")
- isktorrent ("isko + "torrent")
To suggest a name or express preference, email dilc@up.edu.ph. Feedback on the proposed guidelines below is also welcome.
Possible Uses of the Tracker
The tracker may be used to
- facilitate the sharing of class projects that involve files larger than 32Mb (the 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 slowdown overall outbound traffic)
Guidelines
- No users shall upload, post, transmit any content that infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, privacy rights of any person or entity.
- The tracker shall not be used to violate UP's AUP.
- Only submissions using UP Webmail accounts are accepted.
- The DILC reserves the right to refuse certain submissions, for reasons including (but not limited to) possible violation of copyright, trademark, privacy and the like.
- Request to take down a torrent may be sent to dilc@up.edu.ph stating the grounds for such a request.
- To submit torrent file, send it to uvle@up.edu.ph. Please also indicate the description of the files and the academic area(s) where the files are being used.
