This is more of a general question, not a specific VirtualBox question.
I am in a University setting and I am looking for the best way to transfer large VM images (file size ranges from 8 GB to 60 GB) to a lab of 48 computers. .
I guess I could just whip together a solution with wget/curl and a web-server, but that would seriously impact our network. The ability to throttle bandwidth usage is critical. I would rather some kind of multicasting like tool, I really really don't want to transfer a 60 GB image 48 times even if it is after hours.
Our lab environment is Linux based.
Any suggestions? While I can find fast file transfer utilities on the web, I can't seem to find any that does multicasting. I guess another other option is to use some kind of internal torrent setup.
Thank You,
Paul
