See if it isn't any faster downloading from Virginia Tech's FTP!

The Fedora desktop live x86_64 torrent was quick for me. I booted it in Qemu and it worked fine although, It got to the desktop and then told me there was a kernel failure? What has failed exactly I don't know and there was nothing in dmesg so? I guess its just complaining about something Qemu related.



After having a quick look it seems to be just as expected, Pretty with all of the programs you would expect to be there. I cant tell if it is faster than I remember because I'm running it in Qemu (without KQemu )

WHAT THE HELL?

99.9% done, now we're at 0KB/s downloading, and download went from 1s left, to 10s left, now 33s left.

Why is the Fedora download process such a catastrophic failure?

I've had a couple of woes, but ultimately, I was able to get all three images I was after. Keep pluggin' at it, man. Check out that FTP I mentioned, it gave me a steady 1.2MB/s download speed all the way through.

Edit: ftp://mirror.cc.vt.edu/pub/fedora/linux/

Finally got it through Transmission... It wasn't taking advantage of all my available bandwidth, but whatever, I got it downloaded in about 9 hours.

Anyway... My experience has sucked thus far. I will give it some leniency, though, since I am using it in VirtualBox after all.

Upon installation and reboot, I received 3 kernel panics in a row. I kept resetting, and finally I got into the OS. For some reason, the resolution was something like 1920x1200, so I had to scroll across the screen... This is the fault of VB, though. Then I went to install the Guest Additions for VB/Linux integration, and that failed, so I deleted Fedora 9 lol

It looked very good and polished off from what I saw, though. I'm 100% sure that my problems were caused by VB. I don't know what the deal with the download was, though.

I'll have to give this another try on a native install. I'm actually really looking forward to it; it looked great. Fedora Core 6 is where Fedora started to get really good, and 7 got much better. Then 8 came along and looked damn professional (except for my constant "package manager in use" problem...), and now we have 9 which looks like a complete OS. I'm expecting this to be good... I will report back with results!

In my experience with Fedora 9, the only complaint I have is that, when installing packages from a Yum repository, it was insanely slow (I'm talking like 9Kb/s slow). Hopefully that will improve in time.
