Novell's Cool Solutions - Broken links
Hi, i got the torrents from this link: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tip/17277.html and some did not work. Tested today again, and still not working. I left a comment a couple of days ago i guess, which is in substance: Hi, The link for the Addon-BiArch.torrent is broken. Instead, i could use this one: http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM... The same for the ISO Addon-BiArch link. When the links are broken, i try to replace the 1st part of the links like: "http://download.opensuse.org/..." with "http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/..." Seems to work! The comment was not published. But if some of us ppl go to this Novell page to download torrents, may be the comment helps. Cheers, PatrickM

Replacing download.opensuse.org with ftp.opensuse.org doesn't make any sense in this case. The announcement mail contained a broken link, which we can only fix by creating a symlink on ftp.opensuse.org. AJ? SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-Addon-Biarch.torrent is the right file -- but the announcement has SUSE-Linux-10.1-GM-Addon-BiArch.torrent ^ Regards Christoph

Hi Christoph, your approach is the correct one, therefore much better than mine. In fact, i wanted to have that damn torrent ;-) so it was a remedy, not the cure. If that trick is not what should be done, sorry; anyway if anyhow it could have helped someone, i'll still be glad. Thanks anyway for taking in care this situation. The Novell link might be read a lot. Cheers, PatrickM
