Our torrent seeder broke and as long as noone else leaves his torrent client open after having downloaded, you won't see anything.
I have had both x86_64 torrents (kde/gnome) open for three days mostly at 100k up (on a 200k line) and have only uploaded 878mb for gnome and 761mb for kde. At present there is *no* peers.
I usually leave mine (ktorrent on an old 10.2 box) running, seeding the latest and one previous. I have to delete the oldest stuff before grabbing the very newest set due to lack of disc space on that box :-( It is noticeable that by a week or so following the releases (for alpha / beta, longer for GM) the upload rates tail off quiet sharply... I've frequently downloaded one or more of the ISOs more quikly by FTP (and will now try rsync too, thanks Eberhard) and transferred that file over the torrent one to feed it back up. (NB - to do this, stop the torrent client completely, copy the file, restart ktorrent and run teh integrity check. This will usually agree that the file is good and automatically switch it to "finished downloading" state). -- Cheers Richard (MQ) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
