| Re: Ubuntu 9.10 is up on the mirrors Statistically (judging from the torrent seeds and peers), it seems that the desktop-i386 image is, by far, the most popular download, right now. Interesting, that. I'd have imagined amd64 would almost be on par by now. Originally Posted by Agent

| Re: Ubuntu 9.10 is up on the mirrors I'm talking about the desktop image here, not the netbook image (or x86 in general). I imagine there's plenty of people with old machines without x86_64 support. Good for netops and whatnot as well. Originally Posted by Agent

| Re: Ubuntu 9.10 is up on the mirrors Still running 8.04.3 on my desktop. Daren't upgrade it! Needs a strip down and a rebuild anyway as I need to make some disk array changes. However, I'll run apt-get upgrade on my two other boxes and take them out of RC and into official release. Winnage. |

| Re: Ubuntu 9.10 is up on the mirrors I'm guessing the popularity of the x86 image is because that's the one they have the big green download button for - the others are more hidden away and I think it mentions somewhere that the x86 one should work on most computers so most casual users would probably just go for that one. I'm currently getting ~200kBps download speed... |

| Re: Ubuntu 9.10 is up on the mirrors Grrr download just completed but when I checked it was only 417MB so obviously incomplete and so md5 hash was obviously wrong too (they are available here http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/.pool/MD5SUMS ). Annoyingly there was no warning that it was incomplete so if I hadn't checked that could've caused a few problems... 2nd attempt at downloading now, made sure it was from a different mirror this time, I think it failed from mirror.as29550.net but I'm not completely sure. |
