I'm glad to announce that we finally have a Beta4 available.
Beta4 has a number of ROUGH edges, so read the following before you decide to download and test it. I advise to not put it on any production system!
<snip> I'm trying to torrent it at the moment, but nobody seems to be doing it... I've also started downloading from the FTP source, which is currently giving me 250KB/s. I'm relatively new to torrents, I used torrent for the first time with Beta 3... If I download the iso images from FTP, can I pause the torrent and overwrite the files, thus providing more for the scavengers to pick from? My understanding is the iso's from FTP and torrent must be identical... Dave

I am hosting the delta-iso and seem to be the only one. Unfortunatly I do not have much upload.

Yes. What I do is the follwong: I use Azureus. First I launch the torrent, then I do something like: for I in `seq 5`;do wget -c ftp://example.com/dir/file-delta${I}.iso;done Then when the first file is downloaded, I halt the Aureus download, overwrite the azureus download with the file that is complete, rightclick on it and do a Force-recheck and launch the Azureus one again. This untill all are done. Also at the same time I do an applydeltaiso. houghi -- Nutze die zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

I tried this - apparently it works. I use Azureus as bt-client - and did the following: Stop the download > copy the ftp/http downloaded iso to bt-download folder > right click the download in Azureus > Select "check" (I guess, kontrol in Danish), Azureus will control the data > Start the download again. Azureus in my case now showed 20% finished and cd3 which I had put in was shown as complete. Only in the downloaded column it still only said 15 megs.. but that's not important.. Martin / cb400f
