I used openSUSE years a go. I decided to come back and give it a try. When I went to the website, I clicked to download it by way of torrent. No torrent file happens, it just goes to a page with Martian writing.

I log into the openSUSE forums, Password doesn't work. I did the forgot password. It then takes me to a page that has info that goes below the bottom of the screen. That page has no scroll bar!! How are you supposed to scroll with no scroll bar? You can't see what's farther down the page.

I've spent all night just trying to get into the forums, to try and figure out how to download the torrent.

How can I get openSUSE by torrent?

Thank you,
Chris.

I cannot duplicate your problem.

I just went to the OpenSUSE webpage, clicked on the BitTorrent link in the "Installation Medium--DVD" dialog at the top of the page, and my default torrent application (which happens to be Ktorrent on this machine) opened and started downloading. The download appears to be progressing nicely.

If the torrent is not working for you, why not just download from the "direct link" or "pick a mirror" choices?

That page is a mess. For me, it's the second worst designed page I've ever seen in 21 years. If just the layout is that bad, the link doesn't work, Systemd, I'll skip it. Thank you for the reply, and letting me know it works on your machine.

Way back in college, (Linux 225), we used openSUSE. I was all in but got away from it. I'd probably put more effort into getting it if it didn't have Systemd.

The reason I came back for a look is, display has unsolvable problems (15 distros and counting, except Mint 17.3) with xorg 1.18, which openSUSE has. (Almost ready to pay someone, or give a donation, if they can figure video out, as it's been 8 months and trying).

Biggest thing is I can't log it. How can I post if I cant even log in?

Thank you for replying,

Chris.

No issues when I try.

Try do copy of link from the BitTorrent button, and paste to plain text file.

Self just did this shows: http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...64.iso.torrent

Started and immediately up pops the BitTorrent seed file (43.6 KB) from my local mirror.

Which OS version, browser version, Torrent version, are you using ?

Right-click on the Torrent link and choose "Save Link As." Save it to your Downloads folder, then once the download is complete, open the .torrent file with your favorite Torrent client.

OR

Many torrent clients (such as Transmission) have an "Open URL" option. In Transmission you can go File menu, Open URL, and then paste the URL: http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...64.iso.torrent

Using Linux is very easy, but it is necessary to go slowly and carefully follow the instructions.

Try the hash.

I tried to download via a torrent some years ago. The hashes didn't match. Ever since I have use a local mirror to download the dvd. Those are on this page. It detects local ones automatically.

http://download.opensuse.org/distrib...iso?mirrorlist

Just in case the torrent doesn't work out.

If you don't plan to be doing multiple installations, instead of downloading more than you need via torrent, download the minimum normally (via wget, curl or web browser), then do a net installation. Grub is how I start nearly all my Linux installs, most of which have been openSUSE since before openSUSE existed (it was SuSE 9.3 previously).
