GNOME Downloads via BitTorrent
If you don't know what BitTorrent is, scroll down.
What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a tool that helps GNOME reduce bandwidth costs by sharing downloads across many volunteers.
How can I use BitTorrent to download these files?
First, install the BitTorrent software on your computer.
- On Windows, download and install the official BitTorrent tool. When the install is done, click on the appropriate link above, and the download should begin.
- On Fedora Core,
first install the BitTorrent client by typing in a terminal 'sudo yum
install bittorrent', and when that is done, click on the appropriate
link above.
- On Ubuntu, just click on the link
above- a BitTorrent client should already be installed by default. If
it is not installed, in a terminal type 'sudo apt-get install
gnome-btdownload', and when that is done, click on the appropriate link
above.
After you are done downloading, please leave your client open for a while
and leave the downloaded file in place so that others can download from
you. The longer you leave it open, the more you've given back to the
community that gave the files to you.
