Fedora 7 Test 1 ISOs for download with Metalink

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I just wanted to invite people to try out downloading Fedora ISOs with
Metalink.
It's an XML format for listing mirrors and checksums along with other
information. openSUSE, OpenOffice.org, Arch Linux, and other distributions use
it.

It usually results in much faster and more reliable downloads.

aria2 is in Extras (yum install aria2) and is a great command line
client for segmented downloads
and BitTorrent, along with Metalink. There are also other GUI clients on Mac,
Unix, and Windows.

You can find .metalinks for most Fedora ISOs at
http://download.packages.ro/metalink/fedora/

They're down at the bottom, filenames start with FD-6_90.

To use aria2, you would type 'aria2c URLtoMetalink' in a terminal.
