There hasn't been any Official Announcement from Novell SUSE Linux - yet. These may very well be the official GM's (Gold Masters). Have to wait and see or bittorrent them and wait and see.

I joined the swarm about an hour ago. Only have 1% so far, so the swarm is not doing too well yet. Maybe if a bunch more people would join it would go faster. I'm using ktorrent and it says currently there are 15 seeds and 117 leachers.

Surprisingly my share ratio 1.23, so I'm uploading more than I'm pulling. Maybe some more people with decent upload pipes could join in?

I'm starting with the ppc version and the non-oss/CD6 for both ppc and i586. I'm filling my download bandwidth at 700-850KB/s on cable broadband. Seeding as I go too. For me, bittorrent is really performing almost as well as ftp download these days. It hasn't always been this way. Wish I had a clue as to how I fixed it! Stan

Please seed with bittorent once you have download so that others have a good bittorrent experience ;-)

When I have the 10.1 iso's and also the non-oss iso, will it's installation be identical to the boxed version's installation?

No, the retail product has CD 6 (the non-oss Add-on) integrated, for the ftp ISOs, you need to add the AddOn CD as AddOn media - and then you have a nearly identical install and get the same packages, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

I've getting 300Kb/s down n 150Kb/s up. Less than 4 hours for to download. Not bad for a torrent.

Hi Andreas, I'd like to seed. I downloaded with "wget -c" and have the i386, x86_64 and the non-oss iso's. How do I seed them with KTorrent?

My experience is KTorrent is broken. I would sugest you use a different one.

Just saw that there are now 1000 seeds in the swarm. Very impressive. I'm using ktorrent, so I'm still downloading, but my share ratio is above 1.0, so at least I'm not slowing down the swarm. Maybe my download will finish by Monday. On 5/12/06, LLLActive@GMX.Net wrote:

It works when I do a download with the BitTorren (uses KTorrent) in the 10.0 boxed version, but it is so slow. I found wget to be 10x faster. I stopped BitTorrent then and used wget. I thought there is a way to put the finished iso's on a torrent seed that was downloaded with wget.

Today 08:39 CET the link to opensuse's download site (http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/) does not respond eagerly. That is why I want to seed but can't find a way to do it using my complete downloaded iso's.

I tried this method. I copied all the completed ISO's to the cache of KTorrent /home/<user>/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor0/cache for the one and ...tor1/cache etc. for the others (created when the torrent downloads from the download site was entered). I restarted KTorrent and went to the "Downloads" in the top window, and highlighted one download in the "File" column. Then I switched from the "Status" to the "Files" in the bottom section with a click on the "Files" tag. I un-marked the check-boxes of all the iso's, which changed its "Download" column to "No". Now it says in the "Downloads" windows above the Status as Seeding (Time Left = Finished, % Complete = 100%). The "Speed up:" in the status bar shows activity and the "down:" no activity. I take it that it is seeding now!? Hope so ...Share ratio is on 11,61 and increasing.

Happy leaching Y'all.
