Thanks Barry.
I made a torrent. I'm seeding and I'll leave it all day.
EDIT: changed to zip compression for easier distribution among other* OS.
EDIT: added retroprecise-5.4 "UNOFFICIAL" (as stated by Barry on his blog)

I tried the tor with Transmission on a Mac, it said it was NOT a valid tor.

Like I said, never made one before, however it worked fine over my LAN with transmission/puppy on the client. Does Mac have gzip to unzip it?
Later.... working in utorrent too in Windows 7.

precise torrent |

Evening all, and cheers to BK. I have the 01micko torrent open in Lucid 5.2.8 (running transmission 2.31 I believe). Currently show connection to one peer, and will leave it open all night, to see if it might help someone else. Good way to get the load off the servers. Hasta.

Distrowatch Confusion? |

Distrowatch Confusion?
When you click on the 'puppy-graphic (puppy head) for the Precise listing at Distrowatch... it takes you to specifications for 'SLACKO'!
This can be very confusing for 'users' trying to get info on Precise and download Precise if they happen to go this route (as I always do at Distrowatch)?
Precise-Puppy should have its own listing... Slacko-Puppy should have its own listing. (Probably Wary should also have its own).
EDIT: Thinking it over... maybe just have ONE Puppy listing and 'Multi Puppy Spec Sheets in ONE site for EVERY Puppy when someone clicks, that way people would be able to see all the Puppy developments and maybe download several versions!

Mick,
I too have trouble with your torrent.
Is it announced on a public tracker?
It's a pity because I do have some spare upload bandwidth at the moment.
