Want to say Hi, and hope to *finally* get the torrent to finish, LOL

I'm in Linux Mint at the moment.  I've downloaded and started numerous torrents in the past, but LL's torrent is being a real pain in the arse.  I've had this beast running all day....and it *still* isn't finished. Keeps crashing.

What's up?  Am I don't something wrong?  I downloaded it from LL's website.

What torrent client in Mint?

What LL torrent url?

Howdy and Welcome. From the gruff biker.

How do you find the torrent client?  excuse my ignorance.  <whatever_that_symbol_is>Torrent 3.4.3 from 79.180.99.72 ring a bell?

I'm using Transmission 2.82,  I got the torrent from Linux Lite's official website, directly from them

As for peers, looks like its all coming from sourceforge. 

Its moving a bit faster, now but still unbelievable.  Maybe by morning I'll finally have 100%.  Its been up 1 day, 3 hrs.  Dang!  Nothing else running on my system, everything else is working fine...

I'm currently downloading LL 32bit at 1.4mb/sec, tons of seeds, less than 10 mins to go. Try installing Deluge and use that instead of Transmission.

I' m up after my "nap" (went to bed at 1:30 a.m.; up at 6 a.m.) and the transmission open (I was trying to get the iso built for the 64 bit lite) was still not finished.

Installed Deluge and in less than 5 mins it is now 35% done...but I'm building the 32 bit version as you have been.

I will try it on the 64 bit when this is done.  I have a few machines and some will need the 32 bit, so that's fine.  Hope it runs okay--got some old Thinkpads I want to put it on.

PS:  Don't know what the heck happened to Transmission.  Always worked before...Deluge done in less than 5-8 minutes; thanks!

Thinkpads are great linux machines

Yep.  Take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.  I was in the store and handled some of the new home laptops and they seemed sooo flimsy.  I haul these old Thinkpads around everywhere and need something a bit more hardy, so I find cheap IBM thinkpads and I'm happy.

The one I'm on, tho, is a newer Lenovo thinkpad.  Always a thinkpad...had to get used to the newer keyboard, but its okay, so far.

PS:  Deluge's 64 bit done, also.  Shew!  Now my Lenovo can go to bed...

In transmission, look at

edit -> preferences

Then look at the download speed.  Is it been reduced?  Mine's was and I ncreased it to beyond the ISP speed.
