rsync -P can be better, because of the better checksum verification..

Thanks for your suggestions.

Using rsync would require a rsync daemon on the other side ?

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.

Torrent for SL7

2014-11-19 Thread bac...@landtrekker.com

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
