Hardy is here

[gary4gar]

@D1G1T
Use the Taiwan mirror, i am getting Nice speeds on it.

 *debian.nctu.edu.tw/ubuntu

The Indian mirror is hosted in ITT Chennai on a slower connection and is always overloaded.

 

[praka123]

indian servers?where? if you have in.archive.ubuntu.com ,change it to us.archive.ubuntu.com or someother option.

 

[kalpik]

de.archive.ubuntu.com always gives me good speeds.

Maybe this will help

 

[goobimama]

Why not just use torrents? The speeds are amazing, it goes with the FOSS thing, and...well why not?

 

[kalpik]

Oh sorry, i was referring to the repository mirrors. I thought you people are talking about repositories. For CD mirrors, look here: *launchpad.net/ubuntu/+cdmirrors

@goobimama: Torrents don't work well or are blocked for some people

^I used torrent to download hardyamd64 dvd.it gave 200KB/S speed?isnt that enough? make sure you use broadband in bridge mode.DONT use router always ON connection!it is hard to configure!

^^ Heh.. i myself use torrents only. I was talking about people for whom torrents don't work properly cause of some restrictions or blocked ports.

 

[infra_red_dude]

Need some feedback.. Can anyone test Skype on Hardy? Not the 1.4 version but the new 2.0.

Its works nicely, even the file transfers
Though I Didn't test the Video & Voice support.

In recent time Almost all ISP are capping speeds on torrents

hey guys am abt to install kubuntu hardy heron with kde4 in a day or so. any tips.

this is my first time with kubuntu which i am trying mainly for kde4. i have earlier used gutsy on gnome and liked it a lot.

so any tips for my type of user?

 

[FilledVoid]

Well I just put in the Ubuntu Hardy Heron DVD (courtesy of Prakash ) and fired up the Live DVD and I'm right now posting this from Ubuntu Hardy Heron 64 bit .

*img208.imageshack.us/img208/384/screenshot1ak4.th.png

I find it quite better than the 64 bit Gutsy Release (Live version) that is.
Detected most of the resolutions possible.
HDA Audio working by default.
Quite faster
Internet Working with no problem at all.
NTFS drives loaded by default.

Now keeping my fingers crossed while I try to Install it on my system

 

[praka123]

^gr8 going!

 

[Faun]

lol 20 GBPS mirror

any doubt, just run a test to choose best possible mirror and the one chosen would be taiwaneese

remind u am getting 160KBps speed on that and on indian mirror 15KBps

 

[praka123]

^what?did u meant repo speed?here,I am getting with de.archive.ubuntu.org around 210KB/S(fluctuating to lesser values though)

 

[Faun]

yep, avg speed of repo

 

[d1g1t]

doesn't make much difference on my 256kbps

 

[Faun]

^^k just run the test to choose the best possible mirror
