## download time

Fri Mar 11, 2011 3:29 am

If i go to:
http://www.ibiblio.org/refracta/
the download times are very long (way more than a few hours).
Ideas?

I would try using zsync and see if it goes faster. You can use any iso (or none) even LMDE or a debian live image....
I am hoping the ibiblio changes will be a boost but I am afraid it may actually be worse.
I will see if I can copy the iso over to sourceforge also....

Yes, long download time ( went up to 13 hours, then down to 6, back and forth).
I did not know i could use zsync with "nothing" or another iso.
It is not a real problem for me, i booted the PC and burnt the iso to CD.
It was kind of "for your info", and kind of "is it the same for others too?".
thanks

yep zsync is a decent download utility to use even if you do not have a old iso...

Code:
  `zsync http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/refracta/6.0/refracta-gnome-6.0.3.iso.zsync`

or even if you have a bunch of old images

Code:
  `zsync -i olddebian.iso -i lmde.iso -i oldrefracta.iso -i oldubuntu.iso http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/refracta/6.0/refracta-gnome-6.0.3.iso.zsync`

I plan to look into jigdo and other tools soon too.
I hope it is the changes/move at ibiblio that is causing problems.
I hate that the sites that use to mirror ibiblio no longer do so.
But I will try to get it to sourceforge and hopefully that will be better.
thanks for the info....will try to do something about it...
