deepu 0 Report post Posted March 8, 2005 I do not know of Indian mirrors... But if you go to www.linuxiso.org you can get lots of mirror locations... Just import them to Getright and I am sure that you can get the maximum download speed for your connection!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deepu 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2005 See this link http://www.bittorrent.com/introduction.html Bittorrent is a P2P downloading protocol.... but the main difference is that you download parts of files at the same time uploads them to other users also... Unlike other P2P apps like Kaazaa... you will not be able to turn off the uploading part eventhough you can limit the speed!! For Linux downloading I think its better to use the traditional sort of downloading using Getright as you will be able to use all your available bandwidth for downloading alone!! www.linuxiso.org is the site for you...it has lots of mirror links and you just need to import those links to Getright and see it fly!!!
