[Planetlab-users] easy and efficient file transfer from one node to many nodes?

[Lucas Nussbaum]

Hi,

I'd like to transfer one big file available on one node, to many nodes.
What would be the most efficient/easy ways to do that?

I've thought of GridFTP, but GridFTP seems to be good at many-to-many
file transfers, not one-to-many. (ie I would have to run several
servers)

Another option is BitTorrent, but then, I need to setup a tracker, a
seeder, and kill them when the transfer is over. Or are there wrappers
doing that for me already available?

PCP, pscp and prsync won't scale like I'd like them to (if I get the way
they work right), since all transfers will be initiated by the server.

Any other idea?
