Hi,
Is the tracker for the 5.3-release working properly?
The only torrent I see actually downloading is CentOS-5.3-i386-bin-1to6. The other three for the i386 DVD and ditto for x86_64 (cd+dvd) are just sitting there. The availability and the number of connected peers in the swarm for each torrent is rather high though.
I just started the two DVD torrents, x86_64 and i386, using the links in the announcement email from this evening, and both are running along as fast as my wires will run.
both of these two appear to be using http://torrent.centos.org:6969/announce as their primary tracker, and both [DHT], local peer discovery and peer exchange protocols are happy too. I've bandwidth limited my torrent to 400kbyte/s in, 50kbyte/s out and I'm sseeing just about exactly that (my ADSL is good for peak 500-600kbyte/sec in and 70kbyte/sec out, so if I don't restrict it, the torrent activity just about shuts down my network)

Thanks for the info. Checked the tracker in my torrent-client, and it's the same as yours. Seems I have a possible firewall-issue on my hands here. OTOH, it's weird, as the one torrent works fine. Strange...
Anyway, I've contacted the university-wide helpdesk for a possible solution.
Thanks for the feedback!
