I have the same problem with the i686 Live-CD.
So, I’m downloading it, which actually goes rather well §± 550 KB/s).
I don’t know enough of the workings of Torrents, but would it be possible
to just insert the DL’ed file into the Torrent’s dir, to become a seeder?
How can I validate the file?

Hi, perhaps you can help me.
I downloaded an image (Live CD), because the Torrent was to slow. How can
I add that downloaded file into the existing Torrent, so I can seed it ?

Uwe,
Since I knew it was already installed, I jumped into KTorrent for the first
time, just to see what it is all about. I finally figured out how to get a
download started, and I have to admit I’m intrigued! Unfortunately, there
seems to be no manual available, and I’m not getting much help from google.
Can you recommend a good reference for someone who wants to learn how to
use KTorrent, and gain an understanding of what this “bittorrent” thing is
all about?
Give it time. When I first started, I was uploading twice as fast as I was downloading. As more seeders come online, the download speed will go up and the upload will be spread over more systems.
Nice upload speed. I’m uploading at only 100 KB/s, but I am downloading at about 56 KB/s also. However I anticipate it won’t be long before my download equals or exceeds my upload (at least that is my typical bittorrent experience).
No matter, I typically upload about 3x to 10x what I download when it comes to openSUSE. For 11.1 beta5, I uploaded 4x the DVD, 8x the KDE liveCD, and 11x the Gnome liveCD. For openSUSE 11.0, I uploaded something like 20x the DVD.
But I have a fixed cost for no bandwidth limit with my Internet connection, so while I can share, I decided I would. There may come a day when I am not so lucky with my bandwidth.
Basically you are just getting the changes & make them yourself.
There is a delta.rpm that I think is auto installed. They are different version to version and in some cases beta 1 to beta 2 (for example), meaning that a delta whatever may not work if it was made with one set (11.0) and you are using another (say 10.3); but usually going from 11.1B5.2 to rc1 you can expect it to work very well.
With that out of the way, SuSE saves bandwidth by using delta rpms (like every time you update with YOU) and delta isos. The 11.1 rc1 delta iiso works to get you from beta 5.2. The delta iso requires you to run the delta rpm against it and build the resulting 11.1 iso on your own machine. That is one reason I use a rather large root partition (original iso + delta iso and then the resulting iso = a lot of space).
There’s a kernel update available (for rc1) in YOU. I recommend not doing it just yet as I cannot find a matching kernel-source or kernel-syms – it will break your kernel modules like wireless, nvidia driver, etc, Wait until tey are available (soon I hope).
I’ll know in a couple of hours anyway but i’d still like to ask whetehr or not the live disc will work out of the box with ATi cards. So far none of the Betas have for me, they all fail to load the GUI.
Its possible they will work with the vesa driver or the openGL driver, but openSUSE-11.1 definitely will NOT come with the proprietary ATI driver.
My Dell Studio 15 laptop worked with 11.1 beta5 with the downloaded live CD with ATI graphic hardware. I did chose a conservative 1024x768 initial install, and then later went back and run sax2 (with the appropriate argument/options) and increased the resolution up to 1440x900 (WXGA+) which is the maximum my laptop screen will accept.
Yup! I downloaded the thing and spent the rest of the day trying to reinstall my ati fglrx driver
kept getting mismatched kernel source messages. finally I was able to downgrade my kernel
and was able to reinstall my ati driver
I am intrigued by your reference to breaking wireless. Are you referring to NetworkManager failing, like many of us are seeing? Checking my installation, I have the 2.6.27.7-8.1 kernel and kernel source and syms remain at 2.6.27.7-3.1 and no network manager app is installed. When the source and syms come up to the right rev, should I pull in one of the networkmanager packages? Should I do it now?
