Greetings -- On my persistent search for a working Debian testing iso, I'm trying torrents from http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/weekly/torrents/i386/ Why are these iso images of different sizes? debian-testing-i386-binary-12.iso is 642.24MB and debian-testing-i386-binary-1.iso is 630.01MB. These are clearly different iso images, but they have the same date stamp in the directory. Along the same line, where are there 14 different torrents? The point of torrents is to have as many as possible download the same torrent. Distribution is maximally effective with one single torrent.
Because those are each different discs. Debian burns out to something around 14 CDs ;) You only want the netinst or the first disc (or two? not sure certainly the first one!).
Neither of these torrents are seeded and the download is stuck. I've spent six hours now trying to get a working Debian CD and have made no headway. Dave -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-cd-REQUEST@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster@lists.debian.org
