We now offer personalised collection pages. Your institute, chair, CRC, etc. can present its own publications on opendata@uni-kiel in a single overview. You may add your own logos, introductory texts and hyperlinks. The publication list will automatically be updated every time your group publishes a new data set.
We begin with the Max Planck Estate, which will from now on be reachable as opendata.uni-kiel.de/max_planck.

The repository can transfer large files via the BitTorrent protocol now. This enables us to serve publications of a size up to 10 TB. The use of BitTorrent makes it possible for the user to stretch the download over multiple days, pausing and resuming it as necessary.
Our technical implementation uses BitTorrent's webseeding mode, so P2P is not mandatory. Please contact us if you'd like to enable BitTorrent for your publications.
