Yes, it is combined, 32 bit, 64 bit and the sources DVD. I am not seeding the CDs. I have not seeded 14.0 from the beginning, but when I look at the time-scales for my seeds it seems to me that there is not much difference between 14.0 and 14.1.

Seeding...

Hi,

Thread Are we there, yet? seems to show some interest that a new release is not to far off.

I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that once a rc is made available then we must help Slackware sites by starting to reseed again. A new release would be dependent on the state of necessary changes/feedback.

So a gentle reminder that we should be prepared to start reseeding once the candidate is released.

Have fun & enjoy!

Seeding Slackware...

I'm looking for a console based torrent app I can use on my headless server.

here I'm happily using transmission-daemon since some years.

I would suggest rtorrent.

Hey onebuck,

I have a Server it has 2 cpu Intel Xeon 2.67ghz with 32gb of memory Raid controller and 2 power supply. If I can get some software to install on it. I will glad to put Slackware files on it to torrent that way they will be up all the time. Right now my Linux is a live version of Porteus 3.1 Mate. I could do a Slackware install 14.1 and run Transmission for the torrent if that be good enough. When I install slackware which kernel should I use. On this I'm not sure what to do.

kernel-firmware-20151215git-noarch-1.txz
kernel-generic-4.1.15-x86_64-1.txz
kernel-huge-4.1.15-x86_64-1.txz
kernel-modules-4.1.15-x86_64-1.txz

Any help will be great. What I like to do is set it up so anyone could just download the files with or without torrent.

I could put other Slackware Linux files on it

Hi,

If this is a production machine then I would use 'Slackware64 14.1'. You could use 'Slackware64 -current' but if something happens then you would be responsible for getting things straight or post to Slackware with hope of getting some help.

As to the kernel to use, I occasionally will get a newer kernel if the hardware needs are not supported by a previous one. To compile a kernel for your personal use is well documented at Slackware Doc Project.

You can use the torrent server of choice for you. Some suggest that 'rtorrent' or 'transmission'.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

A friend of mind gave me the Server but he didn't tell where he got it at. I was just going to use it for my home computer with Linux on it and it should be fast.

When I do setup for torrent I will just download your torrent and just leave the Server run all the time. I will let you know when I do it. I just have a laptop or I would do it now.

Can anyone please seed Slackware 14.1 x86 DVD ISO from official site? I need to download it but there are no seeders (as for me I always seed Slackware 14.1 x86_64 DVD ISO when my computer is connected to the internet).

I have 38 seeders

I've been constantly seeding it with a 100mbit upload. But according to my phone app (that connects to transmission on my computer), it seems the tracker might be down as it is showing 0 of 0 seeders and 0 of 0 leechers.

I downloaded it 15 min ago via torrent,.

Hmm, this is very strange cause you can see on the attached screenshot that I have none of seeders. Maybe bassmadrigal is right and the tracker might be down.

It doesn't even show you as a leecher [0 (0)], so I'm pretty sure you're not connected to the tracker.

If you click on the "Status" button at the bottom, it'll give you more information on it, and you can check the individual trackers under the tracker tab along with any error messages they have.

You are right, there are some errors like "requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" and "Invalid response from tracker". How can I fix them?

It looks like an issue with the tracker, and short of you adding additional trackers (which there's no guarantee that people would be on those trackers, because they'd have to add them manually as well), there's likely nothing you can do to fix it. I did do a search on various torrent sites for Slackware 14.1 and found a few trackers that have a few seeds, however, there's no guarantee that they're seeding the exact same torrent, so you'd just have to add them and see if it works.

The other option is to just enable DHT. This will allow you to connect to people without using trackers. If you don't have UPNP enabled on your router, you might need to enable port forwarding for the specific DHT port you're using.

bassmadrigal, thank you very much! I have finally download the torrent with very-very-very slow average speed.

wow, threw this into qbittorrent and only four seeds.
will dl this and seed with no ratio limit.
for the love of slack.

I think it would be better if each Slackware release had its own thread for the relevant torrents. The title of this thread is "Slackware 14.1 Torrents", yet in the first post there are only torrents for 14.0 (from 2012), and the actual torrents that you want are on page 6 (I know there is an update link there, but still). Sticking every release all in one thread needlessly makes the torrents more difficult to find. I mean Slackware releases don't exactly come out at a lightning rate, so making a new thread for each Slack release is not going to drown the board ;) That said, I will download 14.1 and seed until 14.2 comes out, then I'll move on to that :hattip:

Isn't it the Slackware 14.2 out already?

No, they're up to RC2.

I made some ISO's for current with Alien's script with Tue May 31 20:05:12 UTC 2016 updates: uploading @~250mbps

*links are in post #130*

maybe you don't know about this...

http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sla...4-current-iso/
http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sla...e-current-iso/

Or probably you want to try the new Live ISOs?
http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/slackware-live/1.0.1/

Maybe it could be nice to add these files in testing/tmux too?
I'm quite sure it will be done. Thanks a lot. :)

Perhaps even the bleeding edge of live: an Full Slackware Live ISO (64bit) which is automatically re-generated after every update in Slackware-current:
http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sla...-current-live/

I know but more mirrors is always good.

I was working on it.

https://kat.cr/slackware-live-current-t12702861.html

What happens to the torrent if any of these ISO's is rebuilt from scratch? I assume that all further sharing stops because the source changed and you have to re-create the tracker?

Hello

I am using rtorrent to download and after that seeding the following files

http://www.slackware.com/torrents/sl...ll-dvd.torrent
http://www.slackware.com/torrents/sl...ce-dvd.torrent

and I couldn't find any peer.

On

http://www.slackware.com/torrents/sl...ll-dvd.torrent

I had no problem!

But using transmission it all worked.

I noticed that my rtorrent had DHT "off". I changed to "auto".

But I am only seeding the last torrent. The first two I still don't seed anything.

I read the posts above saying about problems with the tracker.
There is any workaround? Or I am still doing something wrong?

Thank you Eric !

I didn't know about this feature.

I'll refresh my USB Drive and test it on my 'problem children'

-- kjh( :) I'll re-read the Wiki and I'll try to keep my 'false alarms' to a minimum :) )

I will have to make new torrents every rebuild. But as long as the torrent is up the download works. I've downloaded the ISO's to my server. I'll edit my posts with the new torrents.

We are finally here!!! Get your torrents from the following.
 

Hi,

Slackware 14..2 32/64 is torrents here!!!

Please consider getting the ISO CD/DVD from; http://www.slackware.com/getslack/
Happy Slacking !!!!!
Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
:hattip:

Very good :) Is it possible to change the thread topic from "Slackware 14.1 Torrents" ?

It's not so helpful for new users seeking out torrents for 14.2 (and then 15, etc).

Hi,

We had this discussion in the past. You would notice that if you read the whole thread.

I requested a update notice link to a current torrent announcement in post #135 to be placed in the OP so we do not loose information and members can see the necessary current links & information.

Plus a subject title update as 'Slackware 14.1 & 14.2 Torrents! Please seed to relieve slackware.com and mirrors.'

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!
:hattip:

Ok cool. But no, I didn't read the full 10 pages (and I actually read this forum too). So I doubt that many casual observers who are just looking for a torrent link to the latest release are going to read them either ;) The thread title update is good, but why keep 14.1 in there still (2013 release)?

Also for whoever updates the first post, I think it would be beneficial to put the updates up top and have them clearly labelled (e.g. "Slackware 14.2 torrents" rather than just "update"). 14.2 torrents should be the first thing the user sees. Right now you get visually hit by "Torrents for Slackware 14.0, 32-bit x86". 99.9% of new visits to the thread will be looking for Slackware 14.2 torrents, so might as well at least put the link where their eyes will be.

Distrowatch.com is currently hosting a Slackware-14.2 torrent:

Seeding the 64-bit DVD and source DVD.

Grabbed the 32bit version, thanks for seeding, fast torrent.

Hi,
Some users will still use Slackware 14.1 and some will go back too earlier versions. No reason to loose the information since it can be useful to other members. There are reasons to use older Slackware versions for legacy hardware and such. I do have older hardware that I use earlier versions on. Most of my newer hardware was using '-current' and now 14.2.

I believe the update links are provided in a proper manner. A request to make edits were to the Slackware forum moderator.

As for the thread content, most users will view the first and may jump through the thread but the OP is the best place for updated links to information. Eyes will be on the first post of the thread unless the member selects different pages. You do not open a book in the middle to read but sometimes you may skim depending on reading material most users will start at the front/first chapter. I cannot see providing you with what you are asking. If you feel the need is necessary then create a thread to provide such. My original intent was to provide the means for new users to get links for torrents for Slackware along with support information.

I feel we are drifting from the topic and if you wish to continue this discussion then feel free to contact me so the thread will not be fragmented by this type of discussion.

Thread presentations are good from my perspectives.

Back on topic please.

Torrents for the Slackware 14.2 Live ISOs are available too:
http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sla...2-live.torrent
http://bear.alienbase.nl/mirrors/sla...2-live.torrent

You can find them announced on our tracker: http://tracker2.transamrit.net:8082/

Exactly, I mean in the OP, but in logical order and clearly labelled. Like this;
The title would be chronological also;
I don't see much to debate, it's just a little more helpful for new users. That's all.

I'm getting a tracker error for 14.2 64bit;

Slackware has three trackers: http://tracker1.transamrit.net:8082/ http://tracker2.transamrit.net:8082/ and http://tracker3.transamrit.net:8082/ and they should be synced to eachother. But I noticed that only tracker2 (where I uploaded the .torrent file) actually tracks the Live ISOs. Tracker1 does not mention it (and a lot of others) and tracker3 is not even responding.

I c an see that so far, the 64bit ISO has been torrented 7 times so I am fairly certain that this error you are getting is related to tracker failure.

Transmission is trying tracker2.transamrit.net:8082 and giving me that error message (it's started to download though).

I've been seeing that error too (using rtorrent), but it's seeding anyway (showing outbound traffic), so I ignored it.

There must be a lot of people seeding or not many downloading as I've not had much upload traffic from mine.

I've uploaded 146.93GB in 22 days with a 100Mbps upload capacity, and I'm showing 372 seeds with 14 peers. When the seed:peer ratio is this high, individual seeds tend to not provide much data (I'm seeding less than 100Kbps right now).
