Downloading 1.7GB from sourceforge is hard. Any chance of torrent?
- pepijndevos 13y agoI doubt anyone would mind if you seeded it.
- kierank 13y agoWhy, sourceforge has excellent global mirrors.
- kristofferR 13y agoDownload with DownThemAll, it's a great Firefox download manager extension. It supports multiple pieces, multiple mirrors and resuming, taking all the trouble out of downloading big files over http.
- PommeDeTerre 13y agoI'm curious why it's 1.7 GB in the first place. It initially sounded like a convenient way to quickly try out Wayland, but there must be a lot of unnecessary software included with it, thus making it quite inconvenient to try out.
- n3rdopolis 13y agoI do have lots of dev packages and lots of Wayland related software is installed, like the Wayland version of mplayer and gstreamer, and GTK, and Qt and SDL. Lots of people are asking about the 1.7GB, so I brought back my smaller ISO in my buildscript for the next version, which attempts to remove all dev packages and some other stuff: http://rebeccablackos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rebeccablackos?view=revision&revision=1266 http://rebeccablackos.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/rebeccablac...
- keithpeter 13y agoHas anyone had a look at what is in the iso? Just curious. It would be three hour download from local mirror here at present.
- Someone 13y agoAlso, in my memory, a CD is both a physical device and a unit of storage size equal to around 600 MB. Did that definition change?
- pronoiac 13y agoEdit: There's a torrent: http://linuxtracker.org/?page=torrent-details&id=ce423ed4f98b8ab99fd606ba2986132c9ec44a94 http://linuxtracker.org/?page=torrent-details&id=ce423ed... I'm stopping and editing out my own torrent because this one's already up and running.
- tmzt 13y agoISO filesystems can also be used on DVD so the size shouldn't matter much. I believe the upper limit is 4GB and then you would use UDF.
