Advice on Downloading Ubuntu Karmic

by Collin

I would just like to take this time to notify the readers of this blog about the usefulness of using the Bittorent download option for downloading releases. Not only is it more reliable, it also takes a tremendous load off the main archive servers. When release day hits, the torrent files for Karmic can be found in the directory listing at http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/

Remember to seed back!

    How do we do an “in place” upgrade” via torrent?

      I don’t believe you can – the way apt-get works would prevent it. If you or anyone can find something on how to do that, I would be more than happy to put it up on here :) .
