    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
If you have the Transmission console open and can see Wolvix in there
then right-click on it and see what options it gives.

Usually as you download something through a torrent then you use some of
your normally unused upload to serve out the bits you have already
downloaded to other people.  So even if you only have a small part of
the file you might find you are uploading that to other people.  It does
still need one central server to host it and keep track of what's going
on but that server doesn't have to be particularly powerful because a
lot of the work can then be done by the machines that are downloading
it.  Usually it's considered polite to upload it twice if you download
it once but often that isn't really something to worry about.  This all
works really well when there are several people uploading it but Wolvix
is not so famous and there's only a couple of us uploading it so it's
desperately slow, sorry about that :(

To download it faster i have at last managed to find
ftp://ftp.wolvix.org/wolvix/wolvix-1.1.0/iso/
and this link will start downloading it as soon as you click on it!
ftp://ftp.wolvix.org/wolvix/wolvix-1.1.0/iso/wolvix-hunter-1.1.0.iso

Good luck with this!
Regards from
Tom :)
