Can't Download 2005LE [solved]

[foot]

Joined MandrakeClub yesterday so I could access 2005LE and to 'pay' for the OS I've been using the last few months. Anyway, everything went fine until I tried to get the torrent to work - it just ain't happening. I've downloaded it and tried it in Azureus and it just comes up 'filenotfound'...so I checked out the club page and downloaded the recommended BT client...didn't work, so used the recommended CL client (btcurses.py or whatever), but that just comes up 'filenotfound'..so I rechecked the page again and noticed the thing about transparent proxies..

 

..clicked on the external site which suggested that I was behind a proxy..so I checked out the mandrakeclub transparent proxy page..and no torrent for 2005LE! :( Bit confused by the whole transparent proxy thing as I have no problems downloading files thru torrents usually..anyhoo

 

Last resort I tried the http access thing and got a list of mirrors via email to download the isos, but aside from the fact that only one works for me...there is no 2005LE! :( :(

 

Help! :(

 

Thanks in advance

Ok after MUCH fiddling and looking around, found this in the 'comments' section of the news headline within mandrakeclub

 

Go to the downloads section and pick the package you want, then grab the link (something like https://www.mandrakeclub.com/torrent.php?f_...tTGludXgtMjAwNS etc etc

 

Get rid of the 's' on https and then add ':8080' after mandrakeclub.com so the above example should look like this:

 

http://www.mandrakeclub.com:8080/torrent.p...tTGludXgtMjAwNS etc etc

 

Then it 'just works' ;)

 

Seriously though, I don't mind using BT to save Mandriva's bandwidth, but pleeease sort out the links..it should take hours just to start downloading the silly thing - I nearly went all ubuntu!

 

Thanks to javiermv for the above info :)
