7.10 Bit Torrent Download

[Joeb454]

Hey guys, just wondering what kind of speeds you were getting for the desktop CD downloads for Gutsy.

I'm getting 20-30 kb/s for i386
and only 5-10kb/s for amd64 :(

And yes my torrent client it configured correctly.

[Perfect Storm]

We urge people to seeding afterwards!

[Jukums]

~200 kb/s for 64 this morning

[Joeb454]

lol, thats not the problem, I'm connected to 78 seeds & 22 peers for i386

and 70 seeds and 30 peers or amd64

Im getting over 615 kb/s with Frostwires built in torrent client, and thats with the alternate 64!

I have a quick question. Since im using frostwire, how would I put my file up so you guys can d/l it? I know next to nothing about torrenting, so any advice would be great. I know the servers are slammed and I want to help :)

I got about 120kbps down on Ubuntu i386 Desktop this morning. Will seed all night and hopefully for as long as possible until Hardy.

I agree a couple of how-tos on seeding would come handy for us newbies to contribute some bandwidth.

Torrent is super-fast now. Actually everybody is downloading so... everyone is seeding too! :D You just have to wait about 10 mins and you'll surely fly above 100KBs at least.

[reacocard]

I got about 8MB/s, took less than two minutes to download. :)

Now seeding constantly at 50KB/s with spikes of up to 500KB/s. I have lots of bandwidth so if your bt client lets you, you can just add me as a peer directly for high speeds, my IP is 134.173.59.138

EDIT: that's for both 32-bit and 64-bit desktop ISOs.

[Joeb454]

You clearly aren't getting the same torrent as me lol. I'm still getting about 40-60kb between both of them (i386 and amd64 desktop NOT alternate).

Ah well, it's still a bit quicker than the servers in the UK

[Mazza558]

I capped mine at 100kb/s as it was preventing me from surfing the web if I left it uncapped (at about 120kb/s)

[GSF1200S]

Its odd- I use the alternate 64 so I can install a 64bit system, and put KDE core on top: that downloaded at 615kbps.

Im trying to torrent the desktop i386, and i386 alternate so others can use my bandwidth, but im downloading at like 2kbps!! I might have to try other torrents.

[funrider]

faster was 8xxkb/s with ktorrent this morning. well, i download amd64 desktop and alt ubuntu and 32bit desktop and alt xbuntu.

[bruce89]

The best thing is to download the day before a big release.

[FuturePilot]

It's strange because I was only getting between 200 and 500 kb/s. I would have expected it to max out my connection at over 850kb/s but it didn't despite the extremely large number of peers and seeders. I'm still seeding them now:)

[diskotek]

what are the torrent addresses, i couldn't find them..or i have to download it by 10k from taiwan *the only working download point for me till now)

i found them!: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/

I'm seeding 4 flavors. D/L got into the 300 kb/s

My highest u/l rate hit 1.2 MB/s.

So far seeded 12.4 GB, I d/l'd 2.4GB

I just started the ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso torrent, and while it briefly hit 400 kB/s, it seems to be settling in around 100-150. Of course, as soon as I wrote that, it dropped down to 70!

I'm planning on leaving my seed up all evening -- do the same! (For those that are new to torrents, just leave the bittorrent client open after it has finished downloading -- that'll share it with others.)

[venator260]

I'm only getting between 5-10kB/s. But that's totally due to the network that I am on. It seems that the townhouse's network that I live in dips in speed quite a bit around this time of day. I've currently about 3 hours to go, and I started this at about 10:30 this morning.

I'm doing this on Windows, because the terminal update seems to have broken my update from Fiesty, so no seeding for me until I get Gutsy installed and redownload the image.

[awalsh]

I was getting 300kbps before, but then i stopped and switched to a faster FTP. Now ive got 2 machines seeding, a 100mbit server which is probably going to seed about 100-300gb and my home pc which is 8mbit and that will seed as much as I can.

[bruce89]

Thanks to Pipex, I'm getting 5-10 KB/s

[mihai.ile]

you guys have aswome connections for upload, mine only does an average of 80kB/s for upload but i'll seed all night.
Right now I have 1.25 share ratio :)

[bobbocanfly]

Got the i386 Desktop and Alternate ISO;s seeding at 20kb each. Not much but every little helps

[CVNChaotic]

Remember to seed! =)

I started seedings about 6 hours ago at work on a T3. About the best way I have to contribute...

[condawg]

I'm getting 300kb/s
I'll seed for as long as I can :)

[venator260]

Torrenting the i386 image now so I can seed more.

uTorrent on Windows was giving me much slower speeds that the default bittorent client for Ubuntu. I've got about 100-110kB/s now against my download today that averaged 23kB/s (according to uTorrent under Windows)

Edit: Loaded the torrent. Seeding now, contributing about 30kB/s to the cause
