I don't know if ares2c is capable of a similar thing, but I had thought the metalink file included torrents as well.
Apparently not :^(, I'm uploading at nearly the same rate as the torrent download, but I am seeding :^)
ares2c destroyed my download. It finished with a checksum error, then it destroyed the downloaded file. I'm not using it again :-/
Did you use the guru rpm's? I did not have any problems with them. I
download all iso with them, torrent, and ftp. They all worked. I wanted
to make sure all methods worked. I had a high of 600 K on my friends
cable modem. Average was 350-400 K. My own DSL is 1.5/1.0 M down/up. I
get max of 130 K on it.
I know I should have only done it once, but I had to make sure they all
worked. Sorry for the added conjestion. I have now installed it on 14
machines. The slowest was 60 MHz with 128 MB, 750 MB swap. I am
currently running it on a PIII 667 MHz with 128 MB 750 swap. I used the
network text mode install. This is by far the best 10.x release. An is
the fastest. I do have to tame beagle by stoping it, moving the init
file, set it up to run when I am not using the machine, by moving it back
and starting it and running it.
Thanks for GREAT RELEASE.
