2023-04-21T05:30:45  <mdogg> FYI:   The 'Updated Offline Image' .torrent is not available:    openSUSE-Leap-15.4-CR-DVD-x86_64-Build31.306-Media.iso.torrent  -->  "http://tracker.opensuse.org:6969/announce | Error: torrent not found"
2023-04-21T05:30:46  <mdogg> However, the standard 'Offline Image' .torrent transfers just fine:   openSUSE-Leap-15.4-DVD-x86_64-Build243.2-Media.iso.torrent  -->  "http://tracker.opensuse.org:6969/announce | OK"
2023-04-21T05:31:27  <mdogg> Actually, I could snag it and seed it.. lemme see.
2023-04-21T05:32:44  <bmwiedemann[m]> http://tracker.opensuse.org:6969/stat has the list. We can add more, if something is missing
2023-04-21T05:48:44  <mdogg> bmwiedemann[m]: Thanks for that link!  It looks like this file is missing.  If you add it, I'll grab it seed.   openSUSE-Leap-15.4-CR-DVD-x86_64-Build31.306-Media.iso.torrent
2023-04-21T05:49:29  <mdogg> That's the "Updated Offline Image".
2023-04-21T05:49:33  <mdogg> Leap 15.4
2023-04-21T05:49:56  <mdogg> Is there any reason why the option to download Tumbleweed via .torrent does not exist?
2023-04-21T06:01:59  <knurpht-Gertjan[> <mdogg> "Is there any reason why the..." <- The moment the download completes, it will be outdated
2023-04-21T06:02:54  <mdogg> Right, but that's no different than what happens when somebody downloads the Tumbleweed Offline ISO from the website.
2023-04-21T06:03:02  <mdogg> You have to dup when you're done either way.
2023-04-21T06:03:29  <knurpht-Gertjan[> Right
2023-04-21T06:04:36  <bmwiedemann[m]> The reason is that it's some effort to add a new torrent to the tracker
2023-04-21T06:05:16  <bmwiedemann[m]> We have TW isos in IPFS, though under my openSUSE.zq1.de mirror
2023-04-21T06:05:28  <LCP0968[m]> I think the issue is a bit the other way around, it would take too much time to get it added for it to be worth it for anyone to download it in time
2023-04-21T06:06:06  <LCP0968[m]> those images are added daily or every second day
2023-04-21T06:06:38  <mdogg> I think I understand what you're saying.  Since Tumbleweed gets updated so frequently, it's one thing to add the latest snapshot to the website so people can download the Offline ISO, but it's more work to have to do that to the tracker because the file changes so often.
2023-04-21T06:06:59  <mdogg> If that's the case then I can understand that.
2023-04-21T06:07:16  <bmwiedemann[m]> Also would need seeders for the torrent
2023-04-21T06:10:33  <mdogg> I don't mind seeding.  I mean, there are 165 seeders for the standard Leap 15.4 offline ISO.  But that really isn't all that many if I'm honest.  However, I do limit my download bandwidth for torrents to 60MB/s and I did hit that right away.
2023-04-21T06:11:22  <bmwiedemann[m]> And currently there is no automatism to find and fetch and seed the latest torrent. And it might be a waste of bandwidth as most of the 4GB DVD does not change
2023-04-21T06:11:47  <mdogg> I see what you mean.
2023-04-21T06:12:20  <mdogg> Actually, I downloaded the "Updated Offline ISO" for Leap 15.4 over http and it went really fast, too.
2023-04-21T06:13:39  <mdogg> Which means my argument for adding additional .torrent support because it's faster is moot.
