[CentOS] Torrent tracker for CentOS v5.3 working properly?
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. Do torrent downloads work from a single tracker at centos.org, or are those individual trackers depending on what mirror you download the torrent-file from? I've seen this behavior ever since CentOS v5.0. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu [Sysadmin, Systems Engineer] # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry, Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 >3 signals> GSM # Div of Org Pharm Chem, Mobile: +46 (0)701-718023 # Box 574, Uppsala University, Fax: +46 (0)18-4714482 # SE-751 23 Uppsala, Sweden Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # () ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # /\ # # MotD follows: # CentOS: The enterprise OS with no borders ! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

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)
