Depending on your bitTorrent client, the "locking up" is probably software/OS related - you'll find Azureus reliable.
As for FC3, it's the real thing - it's out of test. And since it's fresh, I had well over 300 peers to download from a few days ago. It was maxing out my download pipe. /David. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nancy E. Anthracite Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2004 11:30 PM To: Hardhats Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] Volume Sets Isn't it now Fedora Core 3 TEST 3? And BitTorrent totally locked up my machine a few days ago. I couldn't even SSH in to bail it out, and before it locked up, it was SLOWLY downloading. I gave up and decided to wait for the nontest release, and a cautious 2-3 weeks beyond. I was trying to get FC3 to send to the doc in the Philippines who want to install VistA on GTM/Linux but only has dial-up. So he, too, is going to be behind for now at least a while because I sent him FC2. I also sent him Debian after considerable difficulty. Know where I was finally able to download Debian using simple http with virtually no problems and quickly? From a Malaysian mirror!
