There is only 1 seeder. When you download completes PLEASE seed the torrent. I'll be publishing a torrent on there next week as well (as soon as my 10.0 DVD comes in) but if people only leech and don't upload, I'm going to yank my torrent. If you're going to use others' bandwidth to download open source software, be considerate and share as well.
Originally posted by Micro420 I noticed torrents are slow at first but they speed up after a while.
Well these were extremely slow for the whole of the download. I think most people just downloaded directly from the ftp servers and didn't use the torrents.
hi reddazz you are right I could not use torrent I downloaded the fice iso CD's via ftp and it took only four hours, but torrent was downloading for five days untill finished, so torrent can not be used for anything.
It took me 2 1/2 days to download using the torrent. I wasn't in a rush to install it so that was fine, but for most people this would have been unacceptable.
