Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala released today

[AndrewAlston]

We're now sitting running between 350 and 400mbit/second so it seems the routing changes to fix the capacity issues were effective. Shouldn't be any more problems and unless other ISP's start running outta capacity we can pretty easily take double the load we are taking now

Thanks

Andrew

And I felt guilty for getting my full 420 KB/s at one stage. Had no idea TENET had that sort of capacity.

 

[dayav07]

My speed is back at 10kbps

 

[S1ght]

70% - 60KB/s using iburst Writing an exam tomorrow though so won't get a chance to install it till after that's done

 

[dayav07]

Does anyone know if this will work on Virtual PC?

Allocate just a bit more than the minimum requirements which can be found on the Ubuntu site.

I figured I'd amuse you guys with some stats on just how popular this release was in terms South Africans can understand. Looking at the figured for all the za.releases.ubuntu.com nodes combined, we peaked at 2gigabit a second, and are currently still running at around 1.3 gigabit/second.

Now, in real terms, at 1.3 gigabit/second, that amounts to 585gigs of Ubuntu ISO's *per hour*, or, in South African terms, 195 peoples monthly 3gig caps being burnt through every hour...

Kinda really highlights the problem with caps and the absurdity of the situation in this country with DSL caps

I am at 39Kbps.

Now, in real terms, at 1.3 gigabit/second, that amounts to 585gigs of Ubuntu ISO's *per hour*

Thats also equivalent to 850 individual downloads per hour. That is a very impressive following that Ubuntu is developing!

I am at 39Kbps.

I was there, now im at 10..

EDIT: Jumped back to 40 again

 

[zamrg]

using ubuntu.mirror.ac.za, speeds are fluctuating between 45KB/s & 220KB/s, did peak at 380KB/s earlier though, approx 1 hour 39 mins remaining :0

Ubuntu is so much better than Vista SP3 (Windows 7).

 

[zamrg]

ubuntu.mirror.ac.za just died for me, down for anyone else?

Sorry about that, it seems the anycast dns server fell over.

Should be fixed now, let me know if there are more problems
