Looks the only way now to grab a DVD is by torrent. What is the yum install XXXX name to get it on the machine? I have downloaded the torrent file, but what do I execute to grab the DVD? Thanks, great effort CentOS Team. Jerry

I grabbed the torrent off of one of the iso mirrors, but it is coming down so slow - I have to wonder if the torrent file is the incorrect one for the bad file mentioned on the list earlier. Would someone be kind enough to point me to a mirror with a known good torrent file?

Hi, I have a machine with a BIOS that does not permit DVD installation. It accepts everything else including some old superseded media types. Is it possible to download C6 combined parts 1 and 2 not using Torrent ? I have an aversion to using anything that comes from unknown sources, as used by Torrent. Thank you. -- Regards, Paul.

For those who may forget, usin torrents to download and share the new images will get you faster downloads (if enough folks participate) if you have a "fat" pipe and alleviate the load on the CentOS servers. I have a "chubby" pipe (~ 1.2MB/sec) and got the stuff really quickly earlier today. If your torrent has dist...

ever since going from flac 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 on cygwin I've encountered an issue where I can't use metaflac on certain path specifications (see examples below). I tried again with 1.2.1 and it still doesn't work (I can't recall but I think it is from the cygwin dist, not the windows installed version) not sure if this is a flac issue, or a cygwin one, but thougt i'ld start here.

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

I love Centos. Have in on my data centre servers, my home servers, my laptop and my netbook. Yes there are serious and continuing security concerns relating to Gnome and KDE but they are not Centos. Currently running 5.6 and would like a two set DVD of that version. However none of the mirrors offer pure DVDs only Torrent versions which involve the possibility of bits being tampered with and

Well, there's so few going right now that I'm showing 38 days to get the DVD. My normal dnld from a mirror travels appx. 600Mb/sec. I'll wait until most of the U.S. goes home before I give up and use the normal download though. Here's hoping... -- Bill

Can we also challenge this "torrents are untrustworthy" attitude. You can be given an ISO from a shady character under a railway bridge, and as long as the ISO matches the checksums you can source directly from the CentOS https site (https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7), it's as good as any other copy that...

Folks. This is likely to be the hardest hit CentOS has ever taken with regards to bandwidth needs. I was really hesitant to use bittorrent for this type of thing for a long time. However, it really is nice to give back at least what you take. At the moment, I'm seeing almost 3000 connections to the torrent. That times 3.5 gigs is a pretty huge chunk of data... and it has just begun. What

I cannot seem to find the 3.5 dvd torrent. Does anyone know where this is. --
