A problem faced by all large scale compute farms is distribution and maintenance of large amounts of data. For bioinformatic compute farms, this is the sequence data that underlies all other analyses.
Do methods of distributing mp3 encoded audio such as RSS 2.0 enclosures, BitTorrent and scripted clients used in podcasting offer an alternative method for distribution?
I'm currently trying pyPodder. Works, but on my first spin it downloaded 720 Mb of spoken word mp3s. Now why is it we all need broadband again?
