Start Downloading Feisty Now - and Get it Faster on Release

Post by osmansiddiq »

Ubuntu’s download servers are fast - and I mean really fast - but you still can save a lot of time if you start downloading now.

You can save a lot of time if you start downloading now. You can avoid the traffic on release day, or the day after - when you are dying to get the latest image, and every minute seems like eternity. Enough with the hyperbole - lets get down to the method, shall we?

The secret to the recipe is rsync. How it works is, you download the latest testing release using rsync today or tomorrow, and then when Feisty is released, you update the cd image using rsync. Only changes to the files will be downloaded - and you couldn’t be wiser!

Or you could pick up a solution that’s been working for Debian. Namely jigdo:

http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

Sure, it may not be the best end-user-friendly way to distribute it to everyone. But for the many hightly-interested people that follow development and every beta/rc release.

There have been jigdo-downloads available for the Ubuntu releases, they are just not talked about much. They are available in the download-directories.

Give jigdo a chance, it’s pretty similar in terms of transfer and “assemblyâ€

except when it fails, in which case you have to use rsync anyway.

(and yes, i have had jigdo fail.)

There is a whole project and group of people trying to push Ubuntu, so we try not to duplicate the efforts. Seems to us Ubuntu delivery needs to be improved, there is no fair system some are gettig total free ride while other are getting ripped off [ yes there are confirmed reports of CD being sold for Rs 100.00 ] mostly due to lack of info.

We do try to inform people about Free [ now moving toward a paid service in gradual manner ] shipping service, even this thread is result of similar alert message.

Lastly I wish we could afford even a 512 link :) never dream of having [ read affording ] 1.52MB/sec link :) with the prices of bandwidth we have to pay here. If we had 512 then any thing Linux will be [ some day Insha Allah it will be ] available. Issue is not starting rather maintaining same level of service with what ever resources we have.

Hope this helps.

doesn't multi.net offer 256kbit/sec (no traffic limit) for rs 2,000/mo in karachi? with that, you could download a cd image in about seven hours.

it's not 512kbit, but it's good enough.
