Knoppix V3.6 (2004-08-16)

FAQ CHANGELOG CHEATCODES

So what is this? It's a peer-to-peer 'WebRAID' file-trading network where we all share the load of downloading popular files. Basically, you get some, I get some, you give me some, I give you some, and when everyone is doing this all together, we can all get these ISO files without killing the server. Does it work? You bet it does. Prepare to make your ISP very angry with you ;)

Click each ISO disk name to download -- click the links and then sit back and watch the Tornado WebRaid plug-in auto-install (first time only) and boot up your OCN download ...

IMPORTANT: After downloading, your browser will continue to provide portions of the ISO file to other downloaders; this is how we share the bandwidth load of the distribution!

If this really bugs you, just exit your browser or hunt down the process number for the JavaWS task and kill it.

If you're curious, the seed mirror for this download is GWDG.de because they run the only HTTP mirror properly config'd to serve ISO files as binary content. (shame shame on all the rest!)

Thanks to a tip by Ry4an, we're now using the multi-feed method to start you off downloading from multiple mirrors. Your download will bias to the mirrors topologically closest to you, and each of these mirrors will register a hit, but will serve up only its relative fraction of the bits.

If you're curious about where you're pulling content and who you're serving and how much, there's a status report on your local client status page.
