[opensuse] Need Help Getting Beta 3 - Slow Torrent?
Listmates, I thought I would load beta3 and help with some bug reports, but I seem to be having difficulty getting it. I am using aria2c for the first time and it seems very slow: [#2 SIZE:352.0KiB/4,382.6MiB(0%) CN:40 SPD:7.14KiB/s UP:3.25KiB/s(93.7KiB) ETA:174h36m50s] At this rate it will take 7 days 6 hours to complete the download. Is there a way I can speed it up? Is it just a problem with needing more people seeding? It sure would be helpful to have an iso. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

It is.. I just got finished with the download using ktorrent, and it took about 3 hours or so. Really fast download.

Looks like the client. I just let it connect from the opensuse site, and ktorrent took it from there. You might want to try another client.

I've just started downloading beta3 via bittorrent - I'm getting 100K/s downstream, which is a little slow. I could ftp it with at least 500K/s. But I'm not in a hurry. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

It would be helpful if you would tell the list what speed your internet connection is. Are you using dialup at 52Kbps? If you have a connection like Per Jessen, then it is really slow for you! The initial speeds of a download are many times much slower than what they will be if you just let it download. Some people will be happy to send you a burned cd or dvd just for the postage or even postage paid, since you want to help do bug reports. You might ask the list for someone to send you a cd or dvd with snail mail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks to everyone for the help. I've got my download pegged at 137K as we speak! -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

I gave up on the idea of downloading a full DVD, unless there was ABSOLUTELY no other choice, and now download the delta.iso to upgrade from x to x+1. Downloading a 700MB delta is a lot quicker than a 4.3GB DVD - even I figured this one out :-) . (And I am on 1.5mbps broadband, and waiting for my ISP to install 24mbps on my phone exchange - promised for next month.)

The DVD came in on RoadRunner "Ultra" last night in about 20 mins.....slower than normal, but not bad considering. Fred -- Openoffice can not correct for incompetence in creating documents from Mickysoft. Furthermore,OO can't compensate for the defective and flawed security measures used by MickySoft. As such, before using this product for exams that require faulty and defective software, ensure that you will not be unjustly penalized for the incompetence of the organization that requires the use of software that is known to be flawed, defective, bug-ridden, and fails to meet ISO file format standards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Fred, you'll have to explain - what is Roadrunner Ultra? VDSL? /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Your living right Basil. In the U.S. we have 3rd world internet speed and Porsche prices for low bandwidth crud while overbuild fiber capacity sits idle. Go figure?
