I can quickly answer to this: - bittorent is denied where distrib-coffee is hosted. This close every discuss on this side. But I can probably setup a bittorent server elsewhere (it is nice to work with two different university). But first I have to ask to network administrator. From my own experience, I never saw bittorent so efficient for downloading, except it reduce the bandwidth for the team making the iso available (and this is still not sure). BTW: It's time to find mirrors for the distribution ! Any volunteer ? http://mirrors.mageia.org/ Regards. > > > cheers, > Marcello -- Olivier Thauvin CNRS - LATMOS ♖ ♘ ♗ ♕ ♔ ♗ ♘ ♖
