I use ktorrent, and after some more hours x86_64 is finished.

I'll try to quit it and start again: Yes, that's the trick. Only stopping 
the transfer inside ktorrent is not enough. one really has to close it and 
start again.

Thanks to all.

Similar experience here: though it started (last night) very slowly, the
full x86 DVD and the delta both completed by the time I got in from work
(so must be < 24 hours). Both will be left seeding for a fortnight or
so, maybe longer but it's only an Alpha.

Time now to try it out...

Strange. I actually measure less traffic than usual on my server, now
just 5MB/s with 90 clients, and for previous alphas it was 8-15MB/s with
200+ clients. I guess, it's summer
, less people are downloading, so less people are seeding. Anyway, I

Maybe just restart your torrent client to see a different set of peers.

Must be local difficulties at some points, Donn Washburn was also having 
problems, but here in the UK on cable I started the DVD torrent at 11:42 
and at 16:25 I have 3.31 of 3.83 GB downloaded.

Works great for me.

However I only got a2 as full DVD. Since then I get the deltadvd (via BT, fast 
with no problems) apply it, and then seed the full DVD. Right now I seed a6 
x86_64 DVD (and 10.2 DVD, and a5->a6 delta).

Maybe you should have a look at your local situation. What BT-client do you 
use? Does it support DHT? Have you configured NAT and SuSEfirewall? 

It should work ok no matter what, but the above steps will improve 
performance.

Cancel the torrent, and fetch the images by ftp. _All_ P2P is usually
annoying, and as a general rule, I resort to it only if there is no
other option.l

[opensuse-factory] DVD torrents not effective?

2007-07-20 Thread Andreas Vetter
Hi,

the DVD torrents for Alpha6 are annoying. 


The i386 image stalled at 99,90%. But since 10 hours no progress for 
the last piece. 

The x86_64 image is downloading with approx 15KB/s and I have 46%.

Do others have the same problem? Is it just me? With Alpha5 it was no 
problem.

Is there any help?
