I'm trying to install OOo at the present time with Pirut. I started downloading at about 21:45h. It's now midnight, I have 203 MB downloaded and it's not finished, Results from iftop: 192.168.7.XXX => btr0x2.rz.uni-bayreuth.de 9.73Kb 8.77Kb 8.09Kb <= 360Kb 265Kb 230Kb ___________________________________________________________________ TX: cumm:275KB peak:12.8Kb rates:9.73Kb 8.77Kb 8.09Kb RX: 7.57MB 421Kb 360Kb 265Kb 230Kb TOTAL: 7.84MB 434Kb 370Kb 273Kb 238Kb As you can see, my dl is not from liberty.edu anymore. I also removed fastestmirror. In Germany, everybody is asleep at this time and their mirror usually have enough bandwidth. I tried to download Knoppix from uni-bayreuth, then from tu-chemnitz with wget, and I had the same speeds. Soon thereafter, I saw the Pirut transfer had switched to... tu-chemnitz :) but it soon went back to uni-bayreuth. My ISP has enough bandwidth. I usually easily get 500 kB/sec. The problem I have is not a "regular" problem. I'm sure nobody has such difficulty downloading from uni-bayreuth *and* tu-chemnitz at this time of day. I sometimes dowloaded Knoppix ISOs either from tu-chemnitz or Kaiserlautern in about 20 minutes. So, Stan, as far as I am concerned, I do agree that it's better not to turn the world upside down to implement bittorrent downloads :) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
