The torrents of the Live ISOs eat my vServer's bandwidth Already ~80 GB uploaded

[mimosa]

That's weird. I've uploaded about 50MB or something with no recent activity and so I haven't even been running my bittorrent client so much recently.

Maybe peers are downloading from higher-bandwidth sources? My connection is pretty terrible here.

EDIT

For that reason, I much appreciate the availability of Salix through torrents

Of course. A torrent will always be downloaded from the faster seeder.

Great work. I am booting into a HP-2133 Netbook fast and easy. However, have some problems
booting into my PC Desktop. Sofar I have succeded only trice out of 12 or more attempts.
Sometimes it does not go beyond the opening "Welcome to Grub". If it passes that it is very
slow for the other windows. When it reaches "Triggering udev events" it sits there for 2 minutes, against 30 sec in HP-2133,
before continuing most of the time then with errors about gdm or others until it stops on reaching
spawning too fast.

My CD Drive is relatively new, a few months old and not much used. With Salix Fluxbox Live
and others Live distros I have no such problem.

My mother board is quite old, second hand and has no sata ports yet.

Linux user 3.0.8 #1 SMP Sun Oct 30 17:20:23 MDT 2011 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Any ideas?

At the Grub launch menu, type 'e' when the desired line is selected.
Go to the end of the command line that contains 'linux etc....'
Add a space and this acpi=off
Then hit 'CTRL' + 'X' to launch the boot process

Or

There's also a menuentry to add custom parameters in the bootoptions menu to make it easier for users not familiar with grub. Add there the parameter acpi=off

Check to see if this solves your problem.

[JRD]

Good suggestion from djemos, acpi could be the root cause.
But I'm bit concern about some errors you got from gdm...Is it a problem of a bad-burn ? Not a problem of the optical drive as you say it's brand new.

But please, open a separate topic here for you problem, it's more clear I think. Here is just the announcement topic. Thanks
