Red Hat 7.2 Fastest download site!??

[RaNd0m]

Anyone find another site other than Red Hat that has a faster pipe right now?

 

[DaHitman]

here are a couple that are always good to try..

http://www.linuxiso.org


http://www.planetmirror.com/linux/


Though sometimes the best thing to do is read the mirror list on redhat.com and look for something close...

I'm downloading at ~3.5Mbs currently from ftp://andromeda.acs.uci.edu/. They have only first 2 CDs though at the moment.

CompUSA. I almost picked up a copy yesterday. 🙂

but can you get it for free at CompUSA? 😉

You should have picked up a copy, n0c, if only to be more accurate in your replies to RH folks when they post and you respond before the other RH gurus and I do. 😀

Yeah, thats why I thought about it. But I spent the money I had for the payperiod and a little more so I have a good excuse 😛

That's what stopped me, but if I hadn't bought a hard drive and a cdrom drive (not to mention my habit at the bookstore), I would have purchased a copy and supported the company that is giving you an OS for free. I believe in Linux (to a degree), I will support it not only by using parts of it (applications and whatnot), but with money when I can.

How many CD are there for 7.2? I thought all you need is the 2

Thats why andrey is elite and bigrash9 is only platinum 😛

But anyhow, all you should need is 1 or 2 cds I think. they include a few other (4+ depending on which package you buy) with the retail set.

while not being as fast as the site which Andrey listed, this site here aint that bad either.

ftp://sunsite.uio.no/linux/RedHat/redhat/7.2/

I was able to get a download speed of 80 k/sec off the site which I listed above. At the andromeda site which Andrey mentioned, I was able to get 4.4 Mbs (550 kb/sec).

However, the site which I listed has all of the files there.

Enjoy 🙂
