I do believe that something is wrong with the setup. I get torrent connection speeds that vary wildly from 10KB/sec to about 200KB/sec. FTP gets me about 1380KB/sec.
surely, these are not centos DVD image torrents you are talking about here ? if they are - can you give me some time scales as to when you had this sort of a speed issue ?
Yes, the DVD torrents. I started the DVD download last night about 9:00PM. I went to bed at 3:00AM, with 5 hours, 20 minutes remaining of download time remaining. This morning I checked the file modification time which works out to a total download time of about 10 hours, 50 minutes. Contrast this to downloading all 4 CDs in under 30 minutes.
Would it be possible for whomever makes the DVD to provide a script to build the DVD from the CD ISO images? That way, anyone who wants to make their own DVD can do so.
there is a script, posted a few times to the mailing list now - that lets you do this sort of a thing.
( or look at : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/build/ for the mkdvdiso.sh script )
