Slashdot Mirror

I had to convince my previous boss of the same fact. Security called him to say that I was using the piracy tool BitTorrent. I sent him this link: http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrents and told them to leave me alone.

They never did accept that I was using Tor as a quick way to view our public services from outside the network.

I should have asked them to pay me in Bitcoin just to see their reaction.

I don't know about "most", since I haven't done a survey. I'm guessing you haven't either. What I can say is the freemoviestorrents.com is completely and obviously all about infringement, of Hollywood movies specifically. http://linuxtracker.org/ , on the other hand, is clearly not.

I say "most" because when a site does not meet both of those criteria, it tends to get taken down. So maybe transient sites that pop up and are then taken down might constitute a majority. I don't know. But I can say with some confidence that the majority of long established and successful sites do meet those criteria.

The protocol is as neutral as http. There are lawful web pages, and there are unlawful web pages.

Vote this article down - it's misleading flamebait in the extreme. In particular, it fails to mention that the software was designed to facilitate anonymous filesharing, which would most certainly be used for copyright infringement and illegal purposes.

Yeah, anonymous file sharing has no legitimate purposes whatsoever.

Yes, actually. Although I don't know whether Red Hat replaces the Tux image with something of their own.

I tend to use this source/tracker.

They are installing Hannah Montana Linux X86 Basic Edition instead.

I've had a try at setting up a torrent for it: http://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=5665e3caf528c853645efe633113c6bab9042718

You mean illegal knowledge transfer. You see there is a difference say from linux torrents and movie torrents. I don't see anyone wanting to shutdown this site: http://linuxtracker.org/

You've obviously never heard of Vuze (which features commercial distribution), Linux, or OpenOffice torrents

Another Tracker, just in case: LinuxTracker :: Details for torrent "Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) - Desktop CD i386"

It's on Linux Tracker .

http://linuxtracker.org/ is a good tracker for linux distros.

Here you go, these links came from linuxtracker, they are definitely the final releases, not the beta.
CD - ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
DVD - feisty-dvd-i386.iso.torrent

I know it isn't the majority of traffic, but there are plenty of trackers of completely legitimate content out there where you could easily seed 100GB/day if you had the connection for it.

It was the only distro I could find that fully supported WPA-PSK for my laptop "out of the box"... But I've tried Linux Mint since then, and it's great. Coincidentially, Linux Mint 2.2 (Bianca) was released today.

I built a Linux which runs as a Windows screensaver. You can get it here.

The quick and dirty virtualisation is with the Linux-for-Windows Screensaver; screenshot here

Unofficial torrent

I see two workarounds -
1. fill in their form with fake info, or
2. download the torrent

Although I do agree, Novell really should know better...

Back in the day, we used to use Google to find out the answers to questions we didn't know.

A quick search for 'suse livedvd screensaver' gives this page, amongst others:

http://linuxtracker.org/torrents-details.php?id=22 27

Including this description:

SuSE Linux 10.1 , set up so that it will boot the way you expect; also will 'autorun' under Microsoft Windows; and will run as a Microsoft Windows screensaver. Uses QEMU to run under Windows; rather slow, but functionally fine. Linux gets everywhere ! I wonder, will anyone want to put it on their preload ? No reason they shouldn't, provided they put source code on too, to keep the GPL sweet. Great marketing novelty, I reckon. Jamming along nicely ... Oh, I forgot. To end the screensaver, the fastest way is to do Ctrl-Alt-F, then click on the red 'X'. This is an update of SuSE 10.0 screensaver

It looks like it is a convenient DVD to have if you want to get Linux up and running fast on a computer without having to install it, or even reboot it.

And if so, what good is that?

Even if you don't own the computer and you can't install anything on it, you can still get Linux running quickly.

You can get Linux a screensaver for Windows here

SuSE 10.1, nothing but the newest.

Windows for home entertainment, Linux for business !

Oh. Best so far is here , or direct torrent link here .

Oh. Best so far is here , or direct torrent link here .

For direct Linux CD downloads, try http://linuxiso.org/ and for torrents try http://linuxtracker.org/ There are others. Many others.

That link is a 'torrent'. You might want more details from here first; but then again, you might just want to go for it ...

Or just download it and have a play... (seeding now!)

There are always Linux Torrents

Uh, sure, if the GP wants to spend the next several days compiling/configuring every... last... thing... (which is the purpose of Gentoo--total control of your OC).

CentOS is a rock solid platform. What exactly (besides a distro-flame war) do you hope to accomplish by such an indictment against a perfectly good OS??

CentOS-4.3-i386-binDVD.torrent

I just got the latest DSL (2.2b) from http://linuxtracker.org/ a few days ago using Azureus. Actually, I'm still seeding it at 30k along with quite a few others using various speeds. I got a 50MB download in just less than a couple of minutes, and have gotten larger iso's (debian/slack) in surprisingly short periods of time. Maybe it's just the tracker or client you were using.

ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE != PROOF! YOU ARE NOT EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET! MAYBE IT WAS HIS FUCKING ISP!

Sheesh.

My download's completely legal, fully within the ToS of my cable company ISP, and I haven't had any problems using it once I got a few firewall issues sorted out. Bittorrent is a great program, but I think most of the media wants to throw out the baby with the bathwater. Just because it's a tool used by pirates and/or theives, doesn't mean that every single application for it is evil by association.

http://linuxtracker.org/ will put it on their BT server for you, if a member submits it.

here's the torrent on linuxtracker: http://linuxtracker.org/download.php?id=1363&name= ReactOS.iso.torrent

I couldn't find a torrent link in the comments, so here is one:

Download it and help seed. This is all three of the beta discs.

Oh wait...

Not to bash Gnutella, but there is a very good reason it is not used for large downloads that tend to get Slashdotted, like new Linux distro releases. Using Gnutella for downing Linux ISOs is a step backward. The Gnutella network is good for some things, but as Bit Torrent mutates into a decentralized network that can use an anonymous routing layer, Gnutella will fall off the map, I think.

Instead of talking about Gnutella, I'm surprised more posts haven't mentioned the other Linux tracker sites:

Linuxtracker
The Linux Mirror Project

How many are there I made and posted my first torrent here http://linuxtracker.org/ how many sites can we list to make use of my idle bandwidth I seed linux torrents and other legal stuff like 10,000 free legal books http://www.gutenberg.org/ http://www.gutenberg.org/cdproject/ http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu:6969/ use you spare bandwidth to help the World torrents are like guns its how you use it that counts!

So I guess it needs more seeders.

A new Linux Distro centered tracker site has opened up at the address: linuxtracker.org. It's a recent startup, but it selection seems to be growing pretty rapidly.

There really should be some central location in which Linux related developers can upload torrents to. Time will tell if this site is able to provide this much-needed service or not.
