6/22    Does anyone know of any publicly available distributed file transfer
        programs? This might be a program that would, e.g., allow you to copy
        files to one machine, and have that machine copy them to n other ones,
        which copy it to n other ones, and so forth.
        \_ Bittorrent + a few torrent grabbing scripts would probably work
        \_ cron + rsync/wget/etc.
        \_ Akamai.
        \_ I had something automatic in mind that's usable in the general
           case. BT, cron + whatever, and akamai don't really fit the bill.
           I'm talking more along the lines of something like what google
           might use to push files to many many machines.
           \_ rdist.
