K-Torrents

There are many clients for torrent downloads.

Below is how to make good use of K-Torrents
1. One needs a Linux distribution with KDE desktop.
2. Look in the Internet Section and open K-Torrents (K stands for KDE)
3. Use Firefox or the web browser and access www.limuxtracker.org
4. Click torrents (not Linux distributions)
5. You are now in the first (the latest) download page
6. Look for the distribution of your choice
7. If necessary go to page 2 or 3 or …....
8. Click
9. Now you are in the download page of the distribution
10. Click the image link and in a few seconds a log file link to image is made (do not forget to click and say Thank You)
11. Go back to the download folder (if you did not change your preferences where to download, elsewhere)
12. Click the log file which automatically start the K-Torrent
13. Decide where to download (I make a separate folder ) and click OK
14. As you click OK it start downloading
15. Select Group View from the Graphic interface
16. You will have to click Active Downloads to see how active and the speed
17. If nobody else is using the network, I configure preferences to (speed of the download) to both upload and download to unlmited. Otherwise adjust it to 25 to 50% of the maximum speed, to prevent choking others in the network).
18. Then go to sleep if there are enough seeders and and download is to the maximum of my bandwidth (download speed depends on the seeders)
19. Otherwise go and repeat the procedure and find another distribution with at 10 seeders
20. Configure the graphic interface to your liking and see what is happening every nansecond and enjoy the bight sleep.
