For those who would like a torrent of the R6 SCALE 7x preview release, you may get it at http://mythic.tv/torrents/LinHES_R6.00.07.iso.torrent. Be warned that this is for i686 compatable processors and up and there have been many changes to the underlying OS, mainly it's not based on Debian anymore. It is now based on Arch Linux. Different package manager, different applicatons. . . lots of different. Don't be afraid as it is very stable, but expect a little bit of a learning curve!

I see you called it a preview release. Does this mean that a more polished version is in the works? I'm not asking for timetables and such, just a clarification on the naming, so I can decide when to jump in. As I recall the release of last year's SCALE version was later followed by the release of the "production" version, and I was wondering if that is what is planned this year as well, or if this is, for all intents and purposes, the "production" release.

Thanks to the development team for all the hard work and hours spent on our behalf! It is truly appreciated!

I also would like to know if this is a preview version and we should expect a production version. I downloaded from the above torrent last night, and I am currently seeding, but I havent done anything else.

I was looking over the flyspray page, and noticed quite a few bugs, some of which will apply to me. If some of these will be ironed out in a production version, I can hold off.

Yes, the last I knew, Cecil planned an official "production" release when he thinks it's ready for that. This preview release lacks some features that R5.5 had (i.e. RRD Tool, Folding@Home), but the core of it all is very solid and stable. If you run into problems, please check the forums, drop into #linhes on irc.freenode.net and ask for help. If you find a bug, open a ticket on flyspray.



As with any project in active development, the intention is to squash bugs, develop new features and improve performance. After looking at flyspray, if you're uncomfortable with some of the bugs you see, by all means hold off. You're never required to upgrade.

I'm seeding 24/7 with about 3 Mbps upload. Looks like other are seeding as well!

Adding my bandwidth now... Downloaders should have a much easier time in a few minutes (100M upload capability here).

EDIT: Wow, I'm downloading at 1000K bytes/sec. You seeders are doing a geat job!

Eep! I'm seeing peak uploads at 17kb/s here. Hardly seems worthwhile. Although I'm seeing a 44.088 share ratio for R5.5 so I guess every bit counts.

I'm pretty sure you meant: "#linhes on irc.freenode.net and ask for help."

Fixed!

Actually when you boot 6.00.07 you'll see a message that says:

It goes on to say that we're missing support for i586, many remotes and blasters, and PVR-350 TV-out.

Has anyone got a web based torrent client running on R6 yet.

I used to run torrentflux I had a script for installing it but I haven't got the script anymore. Are there any issues in runnih it on Arch linux ??

@simonf - I hated torrentflux. Why not try using tightvncserver on R6 under your own user and run a gui based client such as deluge? (Sorry that doesn't answer your question).

I'm running torrentflux-b4rt. It's not a straight forward install. I had to dicker with php.ini (open_basedir option) and uncomment a thing or two (I don't recall what they were). The transmission-cli in the linhes repos are not compatable with b4rt. (The torrentflux package in the linhes repos is not b4rt, it's the original torrentflux.) You'll have to manually compile (not hard) a patched version of transmission-cli. I think that was on the b4rt website. It takes a little doing, but it does work. My only gripe is that I cannot set an overall upload cap for all torrents. You can set them on a per torrent basis, but not a global cap.

It's not web based but I've yet to find anything that rivals screen + rtorrent.
