Trying to download Cinnamon Rolling but download speed very low for two days

[amethystgosling]

Tried multiple mirrors and download managers. Speed does not exceed 30 kb/s. On other websites I get upto 1.4 mb/s. I think you should provide alternative download methods especially torrents since they have great download speeds and do not fail even if downloading stops.

Hi there, please try switching to a different Sourceforge mirror and/or use a multi-threaded download manager such as aria2c.

There also appear to be torrents here: https://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrents&category=2214

Is this https://linuxtracker.org/index.php?page=torrent-details&id=6096318200bf404378939eaba91956f724f45230 the latest isos?

Just how old is the torrent?

[geckolinux]

Hi again, you need to use the direct download link to your selected mirror, without hitting the bouncer. For example, copy the click the "Problems downloading?" button and then select a mirror:

Then let it start downloading with your web browser, but cancel the download and copy the direct link. Then it will work with aria2c, for example:

aria2c -x10 https://razaoinfo.dl.sourceforge.net/project/geckolinux/Rolling/999.220115/GeckoLinux_ROLLING_Plasma.x86_64-999.220115.0.iso

It sounds like there are issues on the system you're using to download it, such as missing or outdated certificate packages. I just confirmed with the same aria2c command from the same Sourceforge mirror and I'm getting about 2MB/s with no errors.
