Package: www.debian.org Severity: normal I wanted to download an CD image on my Testing system. I went to www.debian.org, namely https://www.debian.org/distrib/. There I was recommended to use the bittorrent image (previously I remember jigdo or something simliar was used).
On the dedicated download page https://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/index.en.html the following is written: You will need a BitTorrent client to download Debian CD/DVD images this way. The Debian distribution includes BitTornado, KTorrent and the original BitTorrent tools. However, this is not true. BitTornado and the original BitTorrent tools have been removed over a year ago from Sid (und Testing). Requiring to install KDE just to download an image is a bit too much, in my opinion. So the text needs to be updated but more importantly a lightweight toolset to download needs to be determined which is available in Debian, preferrably on the command line for easier handling. (And sharing bandwith is a good idea, I'm willing to support this when I can). -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to de_DE.UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set -- Dr. Helge Kreutzmann deb...@helgefjell.de Dipl.-Phys. http://www.helgefjell.de/debian.php 64bit GNU powered gpg signed mail preferred Help keep free software "libre": http://www.ffii.de/
