Ubuntu torrents and IPv6

Hi all,

great news on the IPv6 front.

Starting this evening (in .nl at least) the official Ubuntu torrents
found on releases.ubuntu.com include an IPv6-enabled tracker in the
announce list. This means that we are one step further in getting Ubuntu
downloadable over IPv6.

Clients connected only via IPv6 (which are rare, but still) can download
the torrent from an IPv6 enabled releases mirror and start downloading
the iso via IPv6.

There are a few (fast connected) IPv6 enabled seeders around, so
downloading should work great.

All we need now is a AAAA-record on www.ubuntu.com ;)

Regards,
