I am at a university where my bandwidth is severely capped. I can start several other computers near me and download at the limited speed simultaneously. Is there any way for me to share the download between the computers to get the cumulative speed?
I just installed 11.04, and the software center is almost unusable. I'm currently clocking about 32kb/s on my modern laptop. Does anyone know how to fix this? PS- During install, it took 20 minutes to download the language packs, and it said I would be there close to forever for the update downloads.
This is our first time choosing and installing linux. Our other servers are all windows 2008 x64. We were told to install fedora 13. I can only find a download for the desktop version and we're looking for the SERVER x64 download. Could I please get a link?
I want to download open suse but it takes up to an hour to download the 600mb .iso, my internet speed aren't that slow though. Im downloading the Live KDE, Direct Link 32-bit, all the other types of download have strange torrent or metalink fileformat. Is this just me

How to repartition a hard drive using Mepis 3.3, none of the listed sites will open to me. Is this the best software to repartition a new Windows 7 hard drive? I notice there are later versions of the Mepis software.
I have been using ubuntu for a good time and now i want to install opensuse.I have dwnlded the new (11.2) version 2 times but on installing it says unable to create repository. it takes a full day to dwnld here.. please suggest how to use the existing dwnld or a way toget a correct dwnld. i think the earlier one is corrupt.
Here at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
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.
First I go to the following URL to download the latest version of VLC Player, which I greatly prefer to Totem or any other standard Linux video/audio player: http://www.fileguru.com/Movie-Player/download. After I click on the "Download" link, a new window appears which asks me if I want to 1) Open with Archive Manager (default) or 2) Save File. There is a drop down arrow next to the first choice which only gives "Other..." as the only other choice. Well, if I choose the first option, the download appears as an .exe file in the "Downloads" window.
A window with "Download Error" in its Title Bar appears with the following message in it: "/tmp/VLC_Player_Setup-3.exe could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences." I don't even know yet how to even open up an .exe file in Linux, despite repeated research.
I have problems to update my box and get this error:Failed to download./repodata/6a45e4f3d9d376d002a3a59ea65 53fcc5a2d8456-deltainfo.xml.gz from Index of /update/11.2 but when I test this:Index of /update/11.2-test it works smoothly. Any ideas?
Well a bit earlier today I was trying to install the latest VLC following steps from this link:it instructed:Code:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome-media-player-development/developmentsudo apt-get updateBut after the sudo apt-get updateI started getting errors at the end.. here is my log after running it:
Code: sendblink23@sendblink23-Ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get update Hit http://us.archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release.gpg
When I try to check for updates and also when I try and press "reload" in the Synaptic package manager, I get this error: Failed to fetch [URL] Failed to fetch [URL] Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Sometimes, I also get this red triangle with an exclamation point in my toolbar thing that tells me I have repository problems, or something along those lines. I'm assuming they're all related. I've been looking around, and I noticed people having similar errors and just being able to uncheck something in my Software settings, or something like that. In my case, I'm not exactly sure what to uncheck though, don't wanna screw anything up any more! I'm using 10.10, and I believe I'm using Maverick. I'm not sure what that means though. I've only recently started using Linux.
When trying to download any software on Ubuntu 10.10, I receive the error message "Failed to download package files - check your internet connection". I am however connected to the internet.
Whenever i go to the update manager and check for updates i get this
Failed to download repository information
Check your Internet connection. i am connected to the Internet and the connection is obviously fine because i am posting this, same thing happens when i go through terminal to i am currently running ubuntu 11.04
W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexftimie/...source/Sources 404 Not Found , W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexftimie/...-i386/Packages 404 Not Found , E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
I have a big file 1,3 GB that I need to transfer over a slow link, I started doing it for 3 weeks ago over sftp, the problem is that when the download reached 95% completion the link broke! Unrecoverable.I don't intend to restart the whole download process, is there a way or a linux software that could do the job in a bittorrent like matter ? For example:just downloading the missing part of the file ? (I have control over the server in order to install or configure what it needs to be done).
W: Failed to fetch [URL] Hash Sum mismatch E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Tried 3 different mirrors all have the same error. I assume this is the same issue we had a while back where one package was messing things up. Mirrors I my sources.list
Been a while since I had the 'update information is outdated' irritant, but it is back with me now. It was on 10.04 anyway and I am now running 10.10. I've checked for updates manually and get:
W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: [URL] maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192 W: Failed to fetch [URL] W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
My other Ubuntu (10.10) box is happily downloading updates but I can't remember the last time any updates were available for the box in question.
I tried to download some images from google using wget:where wget cbk0.google.com/cbk?output=tile&panoid=2dAJGQJisD1hxp_U0xlokA&zoom =5&x=0&y=0However, I get the following erros:
W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] , W:Failed to fetch [URL] 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.92.170 80] , E:Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. not sure why its not allowing me to download these packages through the update manager. Im fairly sure these are default sources that come with Maverick and would very much like to have these packages.
Whenever I go to update I press check and I get "Failed to download repository information Check your Internet connection." Well obviously I don't need to check my internet connection if I'm posting this thread. I am using Google Chrome and it's as fast as can be. When I run
