Just noticed that torrent is horrible slow. a couple of days ago i could get beta-2 at 24Mbps, but beta-3 crawls at 200kbps.
torrent is pretty fast when many people share, that is mostly when a new distro is out (and usually known sharer have the torrents two days before the given day)
for an old one, better use ftp
Sharing is what it's all about. I've just downloaded beta 3 overnight, and I noticed that most of the peers I was leeching from were at less than 100% download. In other words, we were all in the process of downloading/uploading to each other. Of the peers who had 100% of the download, only two were seeding me, suggesting that the remainder had switched off their upload capability as soon as they had got the whole file. My upload is still running, and will continue to do so until I have given back to the community the 4GB I got. Currently uploading to clients in Spain, Japan, UK and Turkey. Hopefully, that will improve everyone's experience. -- Bob openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, Kernel 2.6.18.8-0.5, KDE 3.5.6 r31.4 Intel Celeron 2.53GB, 2GB DDR RAM, nVidia GeForce 7600GS -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
