      @BuZz I have horrible internet and considered it, but when I tried it on a separate download it ran fine giving me the 2 mbs I'm supposed to get. I'm assuming the 4.1 torrent is just too new with 2 peers.
      I actually tried to download the retropie image a few days ago while my pi was still shipping and it was slow then too so I figured I'd just wait.

      Is there some way for me to send yall info to see if it might be a problem others could have, or nah?

        @NecroCorey Nothing I can do I'm afraid - but you should probably contact your ISP first about it/and possibly github.

          @BuZz Thanks man. Honestly I'm not super concerned, I just figured if it could help I'd shoot whatever info was needed.

              My first plan was to download all the versions on the download page and seed them in one torrent file and when they release a new version I just create a new torrent and update the link on this page. But I figured out that it's a couple GB's and I don't think someone else will download the entire torrent just to help me seed it.

              Only thing you can do is keep an eye on this post if the new version is out and download the new torrent.

                @PetroRie Okay I'll keep an eye on this post. I believe I have notifications for this turned on. I've also received permission from 2 of 3 of my vps providers for seeding linux isos, so I'll be able to do that pretty much 24/7 now.

                  Thank you very much. The server offering the official download is crap. I can't help but picture a poor mouse running on a wheel inside the server powering the thing but the poor guy has run out of cheese. Even when you use a download manager it still fails after 40-50% and won't allow you to continue the download as they use a poor quality hosting site for the download. My internet around here isn't amazing but it's not like I live in the Amazon rainforest and I could download bigger files on an old dial up 56kbps connection....This torrent has saved me a BIG headache, thank you for taking the time to upload and share with the community.

                    @gregbaby Sorry but I think the servers are fine, I get a speed of 2.5MB per seconds it takes like 4 minutes to download. I think its your connection maybe. Often I do find slow downloads and after a while it automatically stops despite the file is still downloading. Could be a setting on the servers which isn't configured? What's your download and upload speed?

                          Thanks, the link on the main site only allows me to download about 20% before it stops and gives me an access denied error. Even when it was downloading I was only getting about 40KB's.

                                    @kelmac79 Are you using a windows machine. Not all file extensions are visible normally. Do a right click on the file and a menu should open with a field asking to show all files or open as administrator. One of those should allow you to see the files. I haven't used windows for a long time and I may be in error.
