LinuxDefender goes Live on P2P
BitDefender & BitTorrent - the begining of a beautiful friendship
The LinuxDefender Development team proudly announces the release of LinuxDefender Live! CeBit edition.
Linux Defender Live! is a bootable CD that contains a full-featured Linux distro, with BitDefender and third-party security tools included. The CeBit edition is the latest incarnation of this concept.
New features in the CeBit release of LinuxDefender include:
as boot options
With this edition, the team has gone to great lengths to improve usability and availability. One of the steps taken was to provide BitTorrent seeds and trackers for the LinuxDefender Live! CD and the LinuxDefender Security CD (a more restrained version of the above, sporting less eye candy, but much smaller in size, at around 200MB).
This new foray into the P2P world is expected to make downloading a LinuxDefender ISO a more painless (and hopefully shorter) experience than the use of our ftp
server and mirrors.
To get LinuxDefender with BitTorrent do the following:

for bits

or
btdownloadcurses.py http://www.bitdefender.ro/download/Security/LinuxDefender_Security_v1.0.iso.torrent
running so it can help upload to the other clients. This is what makes bittorrent efficient.
and correct.
