While torrenting the DVD and the language add on, I have time to ask why Non OSS Add on for i386 can't be found
Is it just delayed?
We seem to have the slowest torrents going in a long time. I started the GM download at 10 Ayem Eastern Standard time today, presently it says it will take 4days 1:00 to finish... OTH I *do* seem to be able to try and get the non OSS cd to think about rocketing down thru the electrons. It says it will take 2:23:00 hrs to finish, started it at noon when the GM seemed to be permanently stalled.
When I downloaded the RC1 two days ago, it got the main DVD in less than 10 min, and the OSS cd was done before I finished the go"button push." Got a fat pipe, usually. So this stuff is maddening, and makes me worry that the media will not be fully downloaded and I shall have to begin again in , uh, 4 days... assuming the GM is still up.
Mine was really fast. Use http://en.opensuse.org/Metalinks, It is lighter
on system resources and can also use torrents.
