After your download (either via FTP or BitTorrent), use MD5SUM to verify that they're complete and not tampered with:
Fedora Core 1 MD5SUM (http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/iso/MD5SUM)

The Linux Mirror Project (http://www.tlm-project.org/) has bittorrents for individual Fedora CDs as well:

Thoreau, You need to install the Bit-torrent client, look up at the start of the thread.

Hi Thoreau,

Follow the instructions at this page to download Bittorrent for FC1 and use it:

btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 350 \
--url http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/$torrent-filename-from-above-here.

that's what i needed! thanks.

So do you have to do that for every torrent you woud like? Still a little fuzzy, my friends told me about a site that has torrents on it. how would i get them?

Yes, any .torrent file can be fed into the command you posted above (with different url and filename of course) and Bittorrent will do the rest.
For example this is how you would get FC1:


btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 350 \
--url http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/yarrow-binary-i386-iso.torrent

I guess nobody mentioned Azureus, the best bittorent software ;)

I use Azureus, great BT client. Also I have set mozilla to not save .torrent files but instead to open them with Azureus. This way I click on a torrent link and it will start it all for me automatically.

Ctorrent is great. Small and efficent. In fact it is only one binary after compilation and it is stable. Original client (one writen in Python) used to crash awfuly on my system after few hours. This one works like charm. Sshot:

Until I installed azureus, the BitTorrent world was alien to me... Now I love everyminute of it! However i always get NAT errors when trying to set up my router to accept connections from the outbound connection through port 6881+... I don't know how to correct this, I don't want to appears as a greedy BT user :(

WHY screen btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 350 \
--url http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/yarro...386-iso.torrent
for any torrent is not working with Fedora2 (with 1 all is OK)?

currently my preferred bittorrent app is Shadow's ( www.bt.degreez.net ) I occasionally will use Azureus for trackers that don't like Shadow's client. For some reason Azureus can never seem to max out my d/l bandwidth, yet Shadow's never has a prob (at least on popular torrents anyway) Azurues also seems to slow my system down more. (just my opinion, your milage may vary. :))

Yeah, Azureus is a bit more resource intensive mainly becuae it is a Java application and to speak the truth the Java VM for Linux is far (and I mean FAR) from perfect. On some tests I've run on my system (just so the HW would not vary), Windows' VM seems to be much more efficient at the resources than Linux' one (apps used: Limewire, Azureus and some Java emedded in HTML pages). However for some reason, Azureus' implementation of BitTorrent seems to be quite good and (mainly because of my bandwidth, 512 down / 256 up DSL) I do not notice much of a difference when it comes to download speeds...

Greetings,

Got Azureus up/running, temp opened port 6881, later tomorrow (b/c I'm dead tired) will read up on the proper way to share and what ports for both upload/download (6881-6991?) something like that.

Anyway, I am testing out on a TV show, and its looking good so far.

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks to everyone, everything is up/running great posts, they all helped!
