Only one offered by alien?
Thanks

Correct. Pat does not make -current ISOs.
Eric has his mirror-slackware-current.sh script that can mirror the -current repo (or any stable version of Slackware) and optionally create an ISO. |

And nor should he.
Aside from all of the work, -current is the development tree and not intended to be used by anyone for any purpose other than testing.
Short version: If you need an ISO made for you, then you probably shouldn't be running -current. It's not Debian Testing.

sourcode+binary ISOs?
I'm hoping for sourcecode DVD ISO & combined sourcecode+binary DVD-DL ISO... regardless if/when I make DVD(s) (still boots on some systems harder with USB, so likely) I usually always had sourcecode & binary ISOs mounted until combined into one ISO (then that until next release) which would be nice to be able to share/seed official/verifiable ISO/torrent so accessible in one place.

Not sure if I am reading your post correctly, but if you want a source+binary ISO you can make your own with alien bob's mirror-slackware-current.sh script. You just have to edit the DVD_EXCLUDES at line 154 to include the source directory then run the script like so...
Code:
./mirror-slackware-current.sh -a x86_64 -r 15.0 -o DVD -v -f
However this will create an iso around 13GB which wont fit on a DVD-DL. |

Seems the Magnet torrents are not working
I've tried a couple times, each time waiting for 15 minutes or so, but the Magnet links do not seem to start.
Finally used the 'normal' seeds, which seem ok.
