The tools I have for working with metalinks are interactive, have to be manually monitored, restarted, resumed or whatever and the process takes days of my attention.
I could write a daemon for downloading metalinks but it seemed easier to ask the opensuse project to have mirrorbrain generate the torrent files.
Can't you use aria2c? It is CLI, and I don't remember it failing me...
Thank you to everyone who responded helpfully. My question is whether mirrorbrain is purposely prevented from providing torrent links. I am going to assume the answer is yes and move on. There is probably a reason why that is, just nobody knows what it is. I will avoid using Factory.
One thing I could imagine: torrent lives and fails with the fact that you need seeders. Considering the fact that the Factory iso is replaced rather frequently (every couple days), it is unlikely that many seeders would be found to distribute all of the iso files... mirrorbrain redirects you to a http/ftp site: which does not server as torrent seeders.
