Re: [opensuse] bittorrent clients - azureus example

You can, I downloaded some iso images from SuSE 9.3 by FTP, and finished the download with Azureus.
Add the torrent to Azureus. Force ReCheck and voila! Continue the downloading ;)

I suppose that the Force Recheck option assures the image is correct.

Cheers, ;)

PS: To bad that I have to wait for 3 days to finish the download of openSuSE 10.2 *sigh

I'm using Azureus on my desktop and ktorrent on my laptop. Azureus
consistently gives my 350K+ downloads, with rarely a hitch. Often it
goes to 500K+. Azureus on the laptop, when it's running XP, does the
same.

Ktorrent has yet to go above 50K. For the last hour, it's been in the
10K range -- obviously, it will take days to get the 10.2 dvd that way.

I'm wondering -- can I stop ktorrent and start Azureus to finish it up?
Running ktorrent for the past 36 hours has gotten 1.24G. I'm using
ktorrent as it came under 10.1 with no modifications to configuration
(just as I am with Azureus). Download speed is set to 0 (unlimited).
Is there something I can do to fix ktorrent?

Even if Azureus can't pick up ktorrent's chunks, it's probably
worthwhile to download and start Azureus, I guess, unless someone can
help fix ktorrent.

My desktop has 768M, my laptop has 2G of RAM. Both have 2G swap space.
