(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi gang,

I have uploaded the Alpha of Puppy 2.15CE Office Edition. It is a massive 406Mb, including 106Mb for Open Office squash file. Of course it will be cut back (severely) in future releases, but for now we need a place to host it for those who want to review and revise.

Any takers?

Cheers

I can for a while... I expect the server to exceed the bandwidth today as it did with the other Alpha.

Thanks, mate. Much appreciated.

Now what we need is to find ways of wielding the axe over this monster!

How about as a torrent? I can probably seed for a day or two
Let me know

P.S> Asureus is the best Torrent client I have come across.

I have used Azureus, too, but I don't know anything more about managing torrents at the originating server end. What would be involved in hosting?

Hi, the ISO i have at the moment is puppy-215CE-Alpha which is only 135Mb
Where is the one you are referring to?
I will try and use Pupctorrent to make it available
Will let you know when I have started the process and perhaps you can test it for me.
Cheers

ok, time to test puppyisos.org:

And yes, a torrent would be great especially for the first days, to avoid that the server gets closed for bandwidth-reasons.
But torrents are not allowed by my hoster.

Hi Mu, I have found the following 3 sites that appear to offer free torrent hosting.
Would you be able to upload directly to them and then add the links in the appropriate places?

I have been trying these web site below and each time it fails before completion. I have a feeling it's some kind of scam (advertising pops up) or perhaps some hacking attempt? Any thoughts?

Mark, the ISO is already at ftp.servage.net - I uploaded to user 123upload before I saw your post about splitting things up into ISO's and dotpup/dotpet files.

Any chance it can simply be moved across, rather than me uploading it again from scratch?

Both the Puppy 2.15CE Standard ISO (135Mb) and Puppy 2.15CE Office ISO (406Mb) are in my sub-directory under /WhoDo/Development-do not mirror. That is just to save stuff from being mirrored until ready. Both are ready, complete with md5 checksums and a software list.

Cheers

Hi, didn't realise this site was here. (Puppy really needs a defragmenter!)

http://s3.amazonaws.com/puppy/index.html

The 2.14 torrent seems nicely active, perhaps it can go on there or maybe just one place is best? (probably)

no, I can't move it, as it is another server
Also I cannot upload it for you to the new server from my hotel

Ok, I'll upload it again from scratch, probably while I'm sleeping tonight. It took about 4 - 5 hours last time, and I don't think my ADSL was the problem. I was getting less than a third of my usual upload speed. Thought it was probably the International link that sometimes gets really slow.

Thanks anyway, mate.

MU, WhoDo.
Please don't change anything ATM. I've almost gotten the file & can host until my bandwidth is eaten up for the day.

ok, I'll leave it there until whoodo finished the new upload or I see extreme peaks in bandwidth-usage on the dotpup-server.

Downloading from my server to verify md5, seems quite slow for now. (3 hours...?) Will post updated download link when confirmed.

You can check the md5sum online with such a PHP-script checksum.php
: Save it in the same folder, edit the name of the iso, then run it in your webbrowser and wait until you see "ok".
Then use the back-button , click on "reload" and click on check.md5.txt.


On servage, you must deactivate the checkbox "safe_mode" in the settings for "Webserver" to be able to use system().

I'm all for p2p, but can't seed/host myself.

Hosted until the shit hits the fan.

Hi, I've tried for thye last 4 hours to get a torrent up and running on a hosting service somewhere but no luck, I keep getting "system down for servicing after 50+mb of transfer)
I tried the 3 I mentioned and also torrentbox.

I'm giving up for the night!

Hi Whodo, have finally downloaded, updated Azureus and started sdeeding only to find the ISO I got was only 56.17mb. Surley that can't be right?

Nope. 2.15CE Standard is 135Mb, and 2.15CE Office is 406Mb. Sounds like a server-imposed limit of some sort?
