[opensuse-factory] Torrents for all CD/DVD missing from announcement.
Hello,
I notice that there are no torrents at all listed in the email announcing
the release. I thought this would be the main focuse for download. I am
only getting 1.5 K via ftp. Having the torrents made available in the
announcement like in the past should really be done.

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/torrent/ But I had nothing bud problem with the x86_64 DVD torrent. I simply couldn't get a good version. It downloads, I check the integrity, it fails for some chunks. Start the torrent again, downloads the chunks, still fails. Lucky I had a RC1 DVD image and now I'm using the delta to create the GM.

Don't use the ktorrent program then, use the ncurses client. Much safer, it can correct bad downloads. btdownloadcurses --spew 1 filename.torrent Never had a bad download with that. It even manages to correct bad ftp downloads. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Till it fails. I have known of several people with similar problems, and always the ncurses client (or azureus) was able to correct the damaged file. Go figure.
But as I said I have the final DVD as I had the RC1 DVD and downloaded the delat via ftp.
Good :-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

The announces point to software.opensuse.org which lists torrent by default. Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes, but resources are really strained. Previously they were listed in
the email and allowed an easy start of the torrents from the email. Now
you have to use a web browser get the torrents. Software.opensuse.org
sometimes times out right now.

Hello, Just now 20:51 UTC torrents are a lot populated. As example openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso 295 seeders 4026 leechers openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-x86_64.iso 152 seeders 1733 leechers It seems like tracker.opensuse is working hard!. No need too much advertisement :-) Guillermo El Jueves 04 Octubre 2007, Boyd Lynn Gerber escribió:
