this is the one that i am using now , i am only getting a speed of 105 KB/sec,

any fast link is highly appreciated...:)



-----------------------------------
alright , am downloading
*ftp.heanet.ie/pub/linuxmint.com/releases/LinuxMint-4.0.iso
mint 4.0 too...:)

lets see if this or 2008 (the one) is better...:)

i guess nvidia is enabled by default in mint is it????

^^guess so... but with that internet of yours, you can always download the drivers anyday.

PS: If you are in BSNL-500 like me, download multiple distros/files at a time to nullify that download speed dissatisfaction. I usually suck 10 mp3s at a time, or 4 distros at a time(see my post in the distro request thread to understand what I mean)

i was downloading through reliance web world . . it usually gives me a min of 600 KB /sec to 1.5 mb. . i dont have net in my home :-(. . i download from them , its fast , i can fill up my 2g flash in an hour and a half :).

and i tested the live cd of mint . . when i tried to enable 3d . it searched for nvidia driver and gave me error stating that it could not download from net , yes , i dont have net . . so my question is , when i install it on system will it work ?or is it still gonna search in net for it ?. . am testing on friends system :).

parkash apt on cd is crap. Do't expect anything from it right now. In future it may get some good features :D
