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: Select all
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: Select all
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...
