Share data by torrent? - 07/23/13 19:37
Just throwing this out there... not sure if it would violate the license agreement Zorro has with FXCM.
Would it be possible to share downloaded history via torrent? If a handful of us started sharing, it makes downloading dramatically faster.
For example, I intend to download data for all 27 pairs that IBFX supports (from the real-acct FXCM feed)
EDIT: in thinking about this idea more, I think the "best" way to accomplish it would be for the Zorro project to be the seeding tracker of datafiles. Then those in the community willing to participate would simply keep their torrent client running. In this way the data originates from the Zorro project (and thus integrity maintained). It would reduce the bandwidth load on Zorro servers while greatly increasing the speed of download for endusers.
