In an effort to maximize our mirror network bandwidth capacity CentOS has elected to include Bittorrents as an option for downloading our releases. The following is a quick overview of getting started with Bittorrent. Please use bittorrent and keep your downloader running for others to use even after the download completes. If you need to install bittorrent for CentOS, rpms are available from Dag’s repository: http://dag.wieers.com/packages/bittorrent/ (Latest el3 version for CentOS-3 and el4 version for CentOS-4) An earlier version of bittorrent is also available in the CentOS 3.3 contrib repository – which may be installed using ‘yum install bittorrent’ – a gui version is also available – ‘yum install bittorrent-gui’ To download execute btdownloadcurses.
