Debian :: Can't Download Anything?
Jun 13, 2010
Does anyone use peer-to-peer software in Debian?I wonder if I made a mistake going with a pure Debian install.I wanted a low resource distro / DE so I chose Debian LXDE since I have some familiarity with Ubuntu.I have used Lenny before as well.But, when I install software apps, it doesn't always go in the menu. I don't mind starting the app from CLI but how do I know what to type then?!?I found that Azureus goes into the menu via 'Vuze.' Okay. But, then nothing downloads... it just sits there forever at '0.' I then tried the same file in the Windows partition and it starts downloading after a few seconds.
This pissed me off so much I started a thread in the 'Coffee Lounge' about downloading in Linux. It's complicated enough and then there's differences when using it in Linux so that it doesn't run. I am not sure what's going on but maybe there something inherent in the Debian system or Linux in general that prevents it from working?I thought maybe it is security and I have to enable something or run it in 'root mode' or something? My experience in peer-to-peer applications is mostly in Windows so I'm not sure what to do. I thought I had it working in Linux eons ago but my laptop was set up with a new install so that would have been under a different OS (version) anyway.

I haved tried 3 times to download DVD-7 from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/...md64/jigdo-dvd, and every time it has failed with just 5 files left to download.
It says:
I cannot begin to describe. All those hours of downloading for nothing! What the heck is happening here? When I try to just continue on, I get error code 3 aborts and have to just start all over.

I plan to install Debian on a machine that will have no access to the internet but I would like to install some packages in it (such as build-essential). I was thinking of downloading them here and transfer and install them on the other machine at a later time but because of dependencies I don't know what packages I'll need besides of the ones I really want, for example: After the fresh install from the cd, I would like to install build-essential which requires g++, make etc... but is there a way to download all that instead of doing it manually? Since I don't really know when to stop downloading dependencies. I tried aptitude download but it only gives me the meta-package. I also thought of chroot to a fresh system, install the packages and retrieve them from the local folder where they get downloaded but I was looking for something less complicated.

I've recently upgraded my broadband from a 1Mbps to a 10Mpbs from the same ISP. As such there is no change of hardware.Tried downloading a Linux iso from my laptop and is getting a very good download speed. However, noticed that when I am downloading the iso, all the bandwidth is taken up by the download. Even my browser is unable to refresh or load a new webpage. Boot into Win7 (same laptop) and the webpage is ABLE to load. Tried the same in my netbook (openSUSE) and the webpage is ABLE to load. Tried the same in my Debian desktop and the same problem returns, while downloading files (iso or video) all the bandwidth is taken by the download. Browser unable to refresh. Computer connected to the same wireless network is also deprived of the bandwidth. So the bandwidth (from the wireless router) is totally taken up by the downloading Debian laptop or desktop.

I'm new on this forum and i started knowing Linux with Ubuntu from about 1 year later. Now, because of some annoying problems with Ubuntu, i'd like starting a new experience with Debian.
So i tried to download it from the official website, but there are too many GB to download for my slow internet connection. Is there a way to download an iso with less GB?

I just installed AV Linux to an old Compaq Evo N800v laptop. I did have Ubuntu Studio on this laptop and it worked really good. But there were things I didn't like, so I tested AV Linux and ended up installing it this morning.
I ran the install without a network connection because I read a tutorial that said it was better to just get the operating system installed without any hiccups and after do the updates. So I opened the Synaptic Package Manager and clicked Reload and ended up getting this message:
Could not download all repository indexes
The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.

I cannot use any torrent programs because nothing will download. Every figure will sit at '0' indefinitely...forever! I can boot up my Windows XP install and it will start within a few seconds. I am just trying to figure out what's going on. Another problem is that my LXDE desktop doesn't seem to pick up every application I install. It doesn't go in the menu. I tried Torrent but it didn't go in the menu. I would start it via CLI but I'm not sure what to type. I thought there might be a security issue but that's only speculation.
I know that ports are supposed to be set via the router settings but I'm sharing the router. I might go to a relative's home and try to work on the problem there. I can go in the router there. But, I can have nothing set and just start downloading with default settings in Windows so I thought it can't be a ports problem. Unless? I'm at a loss and have no other theories. Debian and other distros want you to download their OS via torrent so to not even have it work.

I was wondering how can I re-download only all currently installed packages. I would like to save them to removable media, because I use netinst disc to install, and on slow connection it's hell to download 1GB of packages with console-only.

would someone explain to me (or point me to an explanation) the list of cd/dvd images available for download. I downloaded Lenny on one cd long ago installed it and everything was ok. Now I notice there are about 5 or 6 dvd's and over 30 cd's for download. I notice that there is one cd for 6.0 i386 KDE version that I presume is the same as I used long ago.

I got my parts and am looking to build it tomorrow, however I don't have an OS with me to test it. This is mostly for college, multimedia stuff, so I'm obviously going need Windows on it. I'm leaning towards Debian or a Debian derivative like Ubuntu, I used that back when it was trendy and found it pretty good, but I hear Debians the same but better.
I want to get Linux on it at some stage - is it easy to install Linux on the machine first then windows, or do I have to do it the other way around? I've never installed Linux FIRST. I want to assign a particularly partition to it and keep the free space for when I install Windoze on it.
How big is the basic Debian install and where's the best place to download it? I have a shitty connection here so I can't really download a DVD image.

I was wondering what exactly happens when I do apt-get --download-only? I have early morning unlimited download hours and I used them today to download a huge number of packages with 'apt-get install foobar --download-only'. Once the packages were downloaded it ended with a message indicating that it has only downloaded the packages. Later I tried to install the same packages using 'apt-get install foobar' and was prompted to download 300MB all over again. I then tried 'apt-get install foobar -no-download', and got the same result.
This didn't yield any results:
cd /var/
find . -iname"*foobar*"
cd ~/
find . -iname"*foobar*"
What do I need to do to get it to work. I thought that I had understood how to use --download-only after reading the manpage (and pages on the net), but I'm clearly wrong.

I am running Debian Lenny on a Dell Vostro 1500. I have gotten the correct network card drivers up and running however I need to get a network manager working so I can configure my wireless card to use my network. I have downloaded the wicd deb package but how do I install it? Do I use apt-get install and if so how do I get it to see the downloaded file?

I'm hitting my head against the wall trying to figure out (and find any information on) how to download a package and all its dependencies.I've tried to clean the cache,$ sudo apt-get clean and then download a package and its depednencies,but it doesn't download dependencies that are already installed.I need to do this to install a package on a machine that doesn't see the net.I remember doing this somehow ages ago, and I think I might have even combined the package and its dependencies into a single self-contained .deb using dpkg.

I have now got three machines with Debian on in my home. I use Mobile Broadband with a very modest monthly limit and remember somehow using Synaptic to gather either Updates or packages to download on one machine where there was another type of internet and could then move the packages back to my computer. Can anyone here remind me of what I would have done there or suggest a means of getting these three updated without blowing my limit. I'd either use a relative's broadband and my netbook, or do the Updates once at home and move the packages to the other two machines.
I'm using Debian 6.01, Gnome edition, 64 bit, on an Atom N450 netbook, a 3ghz dual core AMD pc and a a 2 ghz single core AMD pc, whatever of this is relevant. They have slightly different programs installed but are at the same stage of not being updated yet, with 252mb of them to add.
