Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat is scheduled to be released on 10 October 2010, i wrote this small script long time ago and everytime i use it as a part of my contribution to my beloved Ubuntu, so you can use this script to download the torrent file of this release so that everybody share and benefits.
It is a good way to download Ubuntu releases using the torrent file especially when the regular release sites are slow, since it actually gets faster when there are lots of users downloading and sharing at once.
Below is the script, you just need a torrent client like rtorrent or deluge and wget:-
#!/bin/sh
DOWNLOADED="N"
while [ $DOWNLOADED = "N" ]; do
if
wget http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
then
DOWNLOADED="Y"
else
DOWNLOADED="N"
sleep 300
fi
done
rtorrent ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
