I've been trying for 2 weeks to download the dvd iso torrent... Shows a ton of seeders, few leechers, but very poor performance.. (I'm correctly setup for torrents and get fast downloads normally) Only like 4% downloaded and crawling. I've tried the trackers from every one of the mirror sites. I can't use the net install because the systems I am installing are on a closed network.
Anyone have any ideas where else to get this or any suggestions?
I tried the tracker from the kernel.org site just minutes ago using the Ktorrent client. After a couple minutes, my stats looked like:
Leechers: 10 (125) Average Up Speed: 2.1 KB/s Seeders: 40 (900) Average Down Speed: 560.7 KB/s
I blew off the d/l 'cause I already have a DVD but that would work out to a bit less that 2 hours for the DVD image. That's pretty much wide open for my DSL connection.
Have you tried any of the speed tests available? That should eliminate your torrent client as a suspect. Here are two 2 test sites. The first requires flash; the second uses java, often has requests in queue but gives a lot of network information. I have both bookmarked. http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov:7123/
Good luck!
