Ubuntu 10.10 Torrent

[JoyousDeath]

If you're getting a slow connection from the servers have a go at the torrent file.

I'll be seeding the desktop downloads for a couple of days to help alleviate server bandwidth.

Stay cool.

I didn't even bother to check the main servers, I fired up KTorrents and it took like 15~20m mins for the live CD to download. AWESOME!!!

[Angus77]

Took me 7 minutes to download the whole CD.

I downloaded the CD so fast when I finished it was a DVD :lolflag:

No.

[Eddie2103]

No.

That was a stupid question sorry

[nlsthzn]

I won't say it was a stupid question, it was an easy question, yes :D

No it wasn't, some people use torrents for piracy, and that's illegal. Torrents themselves are not.

As much as big media would like you to think that they are.

[JoyousDeath]

You honestly can't be blamed for thinking that. If you only use the internet for a few things like facebook or music and listen to the media for everything else you're going to think that way about a lot of things. All torrents are is a way of downloading en-masse, or from a lot of people at once, to make torrenting illegal would be like making downloading anything illegal.

You guy are lucky. I spend the whole night using Torrent and now still got almost 3 hours to go. I definitely use up my ISP cap. Hope its worth it.

[cgroza]

1 hour here via torrents. I will seed after.

[JoyousDeath]

Bumping to spread the word.

Still seeding.

I am fascinate by my low contribution upstream thus far on this release... not one of the versions I am seeding have a even gotten to a 1:1 ratio... And I have been seeding not stop from only a few hours after release (@ 100 kilobytes per second capacity I normally reach figures of 4:1 and 5 :1 quickly) :confused:

Hm, works for me with transmission: my ratio is 6:1 at 100KiB/sec. (seeding three ISOs, 20 connections per torrent). 12GiB uploaded in two days at that poor upload speed translates to almost always full speed.

Indeed. Knives aren't illegal while murdering is. :guitar:

[MacUntu]

And killings won't stop with forbidding knives. Try to explain this to the media industry. :D

I am using Deluge but I have no restrictions or anything activated and they are seeding.... just very slow and sporadically... Oh well... I am trying my best :D

[MooPi]

This is what I like to see in a torrent.
Close to 6:1 ratio seeder to leech.

[98cwitr]

Got 1.5MB (yes Byte) down from the torrents...go torrents! I was going to just use the site, but it said it was going to take 23 hours :p

[JoyousDeath]

MooPi's image has inspired me to keep seeding.
