I understand that you are helped, however thousands of others might not be. ;-) I tried it with Azureus and it worked. The *.torrent file is just a small file of 271K. To see if you can get it you can open a terminal and just type `wget http://ftp.suse.........iso.torrent` This should give you the *.torrent file. If you look into that file (e.g. with Kate or vi or whatever) you will see a lot of unreadable stuff. The important thing is the readable stuff. In this case: http://tracker.opensuse.org:6969/ Now if you either can not reach http://tracker.opensuse.org or if port 6969 is closed (wich happens a lot at companies) you can download the *.torrent, but can not get the file itself. As you already tested the recieving of the *.toorent file (wich you then can open with e.g. Azureus) you can next test the connection to the tracker on the correct port: [EMAIL PROTECTED] : telnet tracker.opensuse.org 6969 Trying 195.135.221.130... Connected to tracker.opensuse.org. Escape character is '^]'. If the connection does not take place, probably your firewall is blocking the port or something else is wrong. Depending on the errormessage, this can be a varyity of things, mostly network related. So to sum it up: 1) wget *.torrent 2) telnet server and port in torrent 3) analyze errors This does not mean you did not have a problem, all I can say is that the problem _as far as I can see it_ is not with suse. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
