Looks the only way now to grab a DVD is by torrent.
What is the yum install XXXX name to get it on the machine?
I have downloaded the torrent file, but what do I execute to grab the
DVD?
you need a torrent application, such as ctorrent or rtorrent for linux,
or utorrent for windows, and you need an open port from outside, almost
any high port will do (if you are behind a NAT firewall, 'forward' this
port to the torrent machine, and configure the torrent program to use
that same port). then; feed the torrent program the .torrent file,
and kick back and let it work.
its good manners to let the torrent 'seed' at least twice the size of
the torrent before shutting it down. if your bandwidth is highly
asymmetric (like ADSL or Cable), configure the torrent program to limit
its outbound to about 80% of your connections total outbound capacity,
and this will hugely smooth things (torrent has a habit of jamming pipes
so hard you can't get anything else done).
