[ Closed ] Request/Plea for help: download mirrors (Page 2 of 3)

Right now the HTTP link give a 503 error, fortunatly the torrent is up and spreading. I'll be seeding.

No mirror or torrent for 32-bit lite yet? I'm currently downloading and seeding the standard, but really want to try the lite install this time around.

For some reason failed to upload #! lite to thebiratebay and mininova. while seeding the other iso with 600KB/second

After 30-40 min later 64-bit iso wil be available from ftp://svemi.silvernet.ru/linux/cranchbang .
Welcome!

Oops, I think I broke the interweb!

So, here is an update as to what is happening. Basically, I uploaded the ISO images last night and posted the release notes this morning, I then went to bed. I slept really well. I then got up and checked my email, only to find a message from Dreamhost support:

Apologies to everyone for this breakage. I am trying to resolve these issues now. I will be monitoring this thread, so if you have any suggestions, please feel free to post.

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone working on the torrents, your efforts are appreciated!

64bit standard release. Will seed (as long as rtorrent can keep itself running:D) 24/7.

EDIT: I seem to have some problems connecting to the tracker... from the looks of it DHT is working full speed but the torrent is listed as having no seeds.

crunchbang 9.04.01 i386 Lite.................................seeding for ever

Hey guys,
I run a LUG in the Amarillo Texas area, and I have server space/bandwidth available. I currently mirror Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and Backtrack. I'd be happy to set up a permanent mirror for you guys.

Do you guys have an rsync server set up that I can mirror from? I do all of my other mirroring using cron to run an rsync command. It happens automatically every night. Then I don't have to keep up with release dates and such. If no rsync is available, I'll still be glad to mirror them for you.

There is a very easy way to create a torrent with public trackers:

• Download http://metalink-library.googlecode.com/ … etalink.py

• Execute python metalink.py crunchbang-9.04.01.i386.iso crunchbang-9.04.01.amd64.iso --mirrors="http://crunchbang.net/pub/linux/ http://linux.starvinghacker.org/" --create-torrent="http://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce,http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce,http://tracker.prq.to/announce"

• Upload the torrents to public torrent sites like mininova

• Link to the uploaded torrents

This will generate .torrent files for both .iso files in one step including .metalink files containing the mirrors.

If you only want to generate .torrent files for all .iso files:
python metalink.py *.iso --create-torrent-only="http://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce,http://open.tracker.thepiratebay.org/announce,http://tracker.prq.to/announce"

I recommend creating a category at http://linuxtracker.org/ and using their tracker, too.

You can read about using other public trackers here (mininova, legaltorrents), especially distributing with mininova is very interesting:

I'll see if I can torrent then find somewhere to mirror the files.

I have a freehost that is known for disappearing for ages at a time, but it has a 15GB cap on files to hold on the server, and no posted b/w limit, so it works pretty well when it IS up. I'll see if I can get to upload a copy of some of the files to it.

I should be able to get a working download mirror here:

http://gooplusplus.com/crunchbang/

At the moment, it points to the CrunchBang 9.04.01 ISO files on your site.

As soon as I get the files uploaded, I will change the URLs to point elsewhere.
