Thanks for the link. Actually, I already tried it yesterday, but I got an error message that I was not authorized to download the file. And now it works. Go figure. But it turns out you are right, no one is seeding it. > Jigdo works in a completely different way but is almost certainly more > reliable than bittorrent, probably just as fast, and every bit as > bandwidth efficient. > > Go on - give it a try.

My fave is Ktorrent, but it has had issues with Gnome and Ubuntu for a long time, so I have been using Transmission instead. I admit it lacks features, but it's stable. Everyone exclaims about Azureus, but I tried it about a year ago and it was crash city. I suppose I should try it again, but I'll wait until after I have successfully migrated from Jaunty to testing. Now I'm off to try to figure out jigdo. Thanks for the link. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
