Hello,

I'm trying to download as in topic the debian's rootfs from : https://www.olimex.com/wiki/images/2/29/Debian_FS_34_90_camera_A20-olimex.torrent
but there are no seeds (0 of 0).
As documentations says:
QuoteHow to build one is a long topic, the good thing is that there are many already pre-built so we can just
download one and use it ready.
I'm trying to get a ready one.
It would be nice if anyone of You could upload it to google drive or somewhere else  :)

Thank you!

Hey there,

Double-checked the torrent in question - it works fine. Check your torrent client settings. Try with another torrent client. Try another machine. If you are trying to download it at work - contact your network administrator - due to the bandwidth usage torrent services are probably disabled. Try to download it at home.

We had direct downloads before. It was easier for us to upload and handle files. The problem with direct downloads is that sometimes the remote servers are down. Sometimes the servers reach bandwidth maximum. There was a lot of downtime and lack of availability. We used Google Drive and yet it wasn't good enough (we reached the hidden download limit quickly, this is not very surprising since we currently have ~50 official images x 8GB each). Customers constantly asked "Why Olimex does not have one torrent area to torrent the official images instead to use direct downloads????". So due to popular demand we made torrents that we host and seed on our own servers.
