Mint Torrents

[Oscar799]

We have a new tracker site
http://torrents.linuxmint.com/index.php
All available versions of Mint 11 and 12 are there

Edit: Mint 13 and 14 are there too

Coolness.

I always download my .ISO files via torrent. Usually faster and more secure. Even if I lose the connection, the download will resume.

Glad to hear, that LinuxMint now, has it's own torrent site.

I like torrents as well. I don't run the risk of downloading a few GB and then find that a slight connection issue halfway through has ruined the ISO's integrity, forcing another complete download.

If anyone is interested, I could as well add eMule mirrors for the non-LMDE distributions. eMule is still nice, up and kicking, also it has search functionality. You can never have enough mirrors, can you?

Thanks for the feedback. Added Main Edition for now.

I agree with the above. As a Chrome user, when my browser shuts down, I loose my downloads. With torrents, I can halt then resume my downloads as often as needed. This is a great convenience.

Torrents sound great. How do you setup Mint 11 or any distro to make use of Torrent?

Cheers John

I downloaded twice what supposed to be linux mint 12 dvd for 64bit from the links you provided. both iso files were eventually mint11. what is going on? according to m5dsum I get the same as what was published on the site.

The new tracker you've provided is very slow.
548f0ac303fea840ef138e5669880a74 is not mint 12 checksum as published - it's mint 11 !

I also downloaded the torrent labeled as Linux Mint 12, 64-bit DVD ISO...

http://torrents.linuxmint.com/torrents/ ... so.torrent

The downloaded ISO file is indeed named "linuxmint-12-gnome-dvd-64bit.iso" but after installation, running `lsb-release -a` returns:

Code: Select all

david@desktop ~ $ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:   LinuxMint
Description:   Linux Mint 11 Katya
Release:   11
Codename:   katya

Additionally:

Code: Select all

david@desktop ~ $ uname -r
2.6.38-8-generic

Before I get too much farther into setting up this desktop, installing software and restoring my backups, I need to know whether this error is in the version reporting, or in the torrent file... Should I download a new LM12 ISO directly from a mirror instead?

Thanks,
mtbkrdave

You can get the proper torrent for Mint 12 from http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
I downloaded the 64-bit version with codecs from there, it's fine. Also dl'd 32-bit DVD but not yet tested it on any computer so far.

Yeah I also prefer to download the ISO from torrents. I have been hosting both 12 and 13 on my server and I am always surprised on how much I have uploaded.
