Torrent for SL7
Hello, Is there any plan to release SL7 as a torrent download ? My ADSL link is too weak to sustain a one-shot DVD download. Thanks
Re: Torrent for SL7
I suggest you use wget --continue. If for some reason it fails in one-shot, then when you run it again, it will continue from where it left off. That should work with most http servers. For me, I find direct download is typically faster than torrents, assuming the server has a good connection and rtt latency is lower than most torrent peers. - Original Message - From: bac...@landtrekker.com To: scientific-linux-users@fnal.gov Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 3:33:36 AM Subject: Torrent for SL7 Hello, Is there any plan to release SL7 as a torrent download ?

Heads up to the el6 guys
Latest patches won't install:
Error: Package: hdf5-mpich-1.8.5.patch1-9.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libmpichf90.so.12()(64bit)
Error: Package: hdf5-mpich-1.8.5.patch1-9.el6.x86_64 (epel)

Error: Package: hdf5-mpich-1.8.5.patch1-9.el6.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libmpich.so.12()(64bit)
This traces back to the octave install I have for doing some RF MODEM work.

Re: IPv6 ND broken after SL 6.5 kernel update to 2.6.32-504

This also appears to affect guest to host and guest to guest IPv6 connectivity. Oddly enough, on a kvm host with IPv4 but not IPv6, the guests CAN communicate over IPv6. Update: downgrading the kernel to 2.6.32-431 on the IPv6-only kvm host restored IPv6 ND functionality for both host and guests. I updated to 2.6.32-504.1.3 and the problem continues. Ran some more tests and found that I can restore ND functionality by either flushing the cached ND records or just running tcpdump. However, after some time, the problem reappears. After some more googling I found this recent bug report on the CentOS Bug Tracker describing similar symptoms. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7796 However, as far as I can tell there's no known workaround other than downgrading the kernel to something prior to 2.6.3-504.

Thanks for your suggestions. Using rsync would require a rsync daemon on the other side ? Or SSH based rsync, but there are *plenty* of such repositorie, listed at https://www.scientificlinux.org/downloads/sl-mirrors/.
