No he meant that the torrents include both md5 and asc files.

Thank you slackware team.

I promise you I'll keep seeding for a month or may be more.

My bit torrent client is seeding 12.1 as we speak. I hope you get your DVD soon, man. Remember, don't shut-down your bit torrent client after you download your CDs/DVDs. Let us help out our fellow slackers, folks:-)

We are having some issues with one of the trackers in the RR. You'll see the correct stats if you use either of the following two links.

yeah, might as well wait for it to be uploaded to the ftp servers, then download it from there from a nearby mirror, which will happen in 1 day not 2 days. And mine says 4 days not 2, but it changes.

I personally loathe torrents from experience. Although the basic idea is good, I don't think the implementation is optimal, and maybe it will never be optimal because the idea is just not viable, too many things can go wrong, and if there's only 1 seeder on with 100 % of the file and he leaves, that's the end of the torrent for some time. I've had that happen a lot, it was almost done and the then the guy with 100 % left. That made me angry.

I Don't understand. I found my IP address in http://tracker2.transamrit.net:8082/ but he tell me a don't share anything "Share Ratio = 0.000" but in my ktorrent it's 0.15 and i uploaded 98.5.

What's happen.

please i wanna help

BTW: iptables doesn't blocked anything.

137 KB/s average upload, 80 KB/s average download, 2 hours and 40 minutes still Slackware 12.1 :-D.

On a side note, I'd rather seed this on my desktop then my laptop (which is what is currently being downloaded). Is there a way I can switch it over after the download is finished? I don't really have too much experience with torrents.

EDIT: And for the guys that are getting about 2 days to finish the download, it's not true. I started my download and it said 2 days as well. Now 12 hours later, it's going to be done in 2.5. It takes a while to get all the connections established.

T3slider · 05-03-2008, 11:46 AM

-{Jester}-, is that the CDs or the DVD? I've been running it since last night (14 hours) and I only have 1.3 GiB of the DVD (35%) and it's definitely not my internet connection. I'm consistently uploading faster than I'm downloading (neither of which is terribly fast). I have a feeling this is going to take a while.

Oi... This is turning into a Demonoid thread....

MORE SEEDZ PLEZE!!!!

Is that really going to make the number of seeders magically increase?

There are currently 124 seeders for the DVD and I'm getting 350kb down... Looks pretty good to me.

Up your max connections so you can connect to more peers and make sure you don't have a NAT/port problem. And don't throttle your upseed. I set my up to 20 max and my down drops to 70kbs. Unlimited up gives me 250+ down.. BT 101 stuff...

digger95 · 05-03-2008, 12:01 PM

T3slider I got poor download speeds on the dvd as well. The estimate was a couple days to get it all. I switched to the cd's instead and they're downloading very fast... 85KB/sec on adsl which is darn near my max bandwidth. The cd's of course are more popular (can be used on older systems) so they have more seeders.

brianL · 05-03-2008, 12:02 PM

I'm downloading the 3rd CD now, still seeding 1 and 2. Download has slowed down. It's now wavering from 55 to 75 kB/s, and upload is only from 4 to 12 kB/s.

download now 90 to 110 kB/s.
