RC1 torrent very slow...
I downloaded the RC2 deltas and am now downloading the RC1 CD ISOs via torrent, but the entire downloading is at a standstill. I do not understand, KTorrent says there are 27 seeders and only 12 leechers so logically I should get good speeds, right? And to think that I wanted to go the "right" way by doing torrent this time instead of FTP... :( -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-26 W17-3 UTC+0530

What RC1 are you downloading? 32 bit has 0(69) Seeds and 39(52) Peers. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Werk und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das Tun - Johannes Müller-Elmau

http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-10.1-RC1/SUSE-Linux-10.1-RC1-i3... 12(53) leechers and 24(70) seeders -- so says KTorrent 1.2 on KDE 3.52 (What are the numbers within brackets?

torrent is effective on peaks, when many people share the same dowload, so here RC2 delats. most people do no more share RC1 jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos

I understand, but there is no RC2 torrent as such. There is only RC1 torrent and RC1-RC2 torrent. The latter I have finished. -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-27 W17-4 UTC+0530

I've just torrented both ppc and i386 for RC1 and the deltas of RC2 for both and this is the first time I've ever seen exceptional speeds for all of it via torrent. It varied from 500-800+ KBs on Comcast broadband cable. So I was getting line speed for my neighborhood node. I was seeding at 256 KBs too. I am still learning torrenting so I'm no longer seeding all of it. Sorry. I moved the files to a partition with more space to build the DVD iso's. How do I tell Ktorrent to seed from the new location? Stan

Do the following. Start a new torrent and stop that. Then remove that directory and make a symlink from where the directory is to where the program thinks it is. Then do a 'Force re-check'. Perhaps a new torrent and then save at the new location might work as well. No idea. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.

Strange. There are a lot of snubbed peers in the list. When I restart KTorrent, their status gets reset to non-snubbed and the download speed increases. It seems KTorrent does not periodically check whether peers who have snubbed me are still inactive, and so eventually all peers snub and the download dies down... -- Tux #395953 resides at http://samvit.org playing with KDE 3.52 on SUSE Linux 10.0 $ date [] CCE +2006-04-27 W17-4 UTC+0530
