Re: Worldwide routable Garmin maps: URL REMOVED

With the current servers and user load there is no bottleneck in CPU, disk space or I/O. There was recently a question at the university whether the Garmin traffic is excessive which caused me to rush a change in the way the countries maps are generated. Unfortunately this included a bug which I cannot fix currently because somehow the (S)FTP server won't let me in these days and support hasn't replied to my questions yet 🙁

Regarding bittorrent:
I think Beddhist is correct in his assessment that the weekly update cycle reduces the chance that bittorrent can effectively reduce the traffic. For some individual cases like some of the oft-downloaded country maps (e.g. Germany) it might very well reduce traffic, but I'm skeptical it will help much. So, because of this reason and very restricted available hobby-time I currently don't plan to experiment with bittorrent as it adds just another thing to maintain plus the added complexity. The trade-off isn't there (yet) for me.
