I ran some tests with Clonezilla Live Lite Server in BitTorrent mode yesterday and thought you would like to see the results. BitTorrent mode worked great and even with multiple repeat tests I had no errors! I will be doing more tests soon and I would like to thank you for the new BitTorrent mode.

Hi Chuck,
Great! Thanks for your tests and report. As you might know, since the BT mechanism is stil very new, and Partclone 0.3.8 still has some bugs about saving xfs, and exfat. Besides, partclone.dd seems to hasve an issue to check the destination partition size. Thomas Tsai is fixing that. However, too many things for us, so the progress is slow.
Anyway, we will keep improving it.
Thanks.
Steven

Hi Chunk,
Thanks for using CloneZilla BT. The BT module,named EZIO, is made by my friend and me.
It seems EZIO stable enough to use in proction envrionment.
If you have any question about BT, feel free to ask us.
Thanks again

Hi all!
First, sorry my bad english.
I have a little problem.
I have a image. Image parts:
sda1: Windows 10 recovery partition (~500mb)
sda2: Windows 10 EFI (~100mb)
sda3: Windows 10 (Like C:\ drive, ~370gb, NTFS)
sda4: Ubuntu 18.04 (~110gb, ext4)
sda5: SWAP
When I started the BitTorrend mode, the clonezilla created a "btzone" folder with sda1, sda2, sda3. But no more. I not have sda4 and sda5, so I can't restore linux partitions.
Why?
Or I can convert the image to btzone?
(The progress successfully in multicast mode with this image)
Thanks a lot!

Which version of Clonezilla live did you try? Please show the partition table layout by running the following command in Clonezilla live command line prompt:
1. sudo -i
2. parted -s /dev/sda print
Please post the results of step 2.
Thanks.
