Good day, all,
The Fedora project released their Core2 distribution today. For
those interested in getting it...
The best answer I've found for the ISO images is the bittorrent
tool. Each person downloading blocks of the files can also upload those
blocks to other people, so the server bottleneck is removed.
The software's home site is http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ .
See http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/ for the url to use. I happened
to use the following command to get my copy:
btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 50 --url \
http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/tettnang-binary-i386-iso.torrent
The iso files for fedora core 2 are now available at
ftp://ftp.stearns.org/pub/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/tempdownload/tettnang-binary-i386-iso/
and
(rsync)
zaphod.stearns.org::fedoramirror/tempdownload/tettnang-binary-i386-iso/
The best way to get them would probably be to:
mkdir /some/empty/directory/
rsync -av --progress --partial --bwlimit=100 \
zaphod.stearns.org::fedoramirror/tempdownload/tettnang-binary-i386-iso/ \
/some/empty/directory/
The rsync..../some/empty/directory/ is all on one line. The
--bwlimit=NN is optional; if specified, rsync will hold the average
transfer rate to approximately NN kilobytes/second (although it may burst
a little higher). The --partial (recommended) allows you to resume a
partial download later.
Cheers,
- Bill
