Yes, you can finish the rest of the download with torrents. You just need to obtain the torrent file of the same release of the distro either from Mandriva's website or from linuxtracker.org. Open the torrent file in your BitTorrent client. When it asks for location to download, point it to your unfinished download. You won't have to bother about filename since torrent will adher to it as it's the same release via HTTP, FTP or torrents. Now the client will check the download for the existing pieces, discard bad pieces if any and then continue with the rest of the download. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22-24, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
