Here are my .torrent files for the images of v4.5.1:

I'll also add that it's against the forum rules to ask where to get roms or discuss romsites. That includes retropie images that include ROMs.

@adje Please post the complete error message from wget.

@cdm624 @vinni230 If you have access to a Linux system with Internet access, e.g. another Retropie, you could use wget to download the file.

wget https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/releases/download/4.3/retropie-4.3-rpi2_rpi3.img.gz

wget should report any problems it encounters. You could post them here in a codeblock for further inspection.

However, I suspect provider issues as well. I can download the file without problems.

First: It's the unofficial torrent link topic that showed up, not yours asking for one.

Second: Sorry again, but this sounds like you didn't spend more then 5 minutes to find a torrent before asking for one.

Third: I guess the main developers either can not or don't want to be responsible to make sure the torrent is always seeded.

Fourth: I'm not quite getting your point here. The md5 is on the download page and if you got the file from the unofficial torrent shouldn't you be able to compare them? I mean ok, that would require to download the file first, which could be a waste of time if the checksum is wrong in the end.

Finally: Nobody should expect to get the same service from any distribution/software, especially not when that product is free and made by some guys in their free time. In that case you should appreciate that 3rd parties provide extra support.

I don't understand what you mean with "loading their own servers". The webspace for the site is sponsored (and it sounds that it creates quite some expensive traffic already), the image downloads are hosted on github.

@girlzstalkme02
I am having the same issue... Did you ever get it to download for you? Thanks

I'm thinking something more official linked on the downloads page. One of the main reasons this would be beneficial is by saving server bandwidth by letting fellow users help seed the torrents as well.

New torrent for Retropie 4.8 is up ! :)

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:3591FC2793DBCC06157AA5B244110CEF3B42331A&dn=retropie-4.8&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3A451&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.opentrackr.org%3A1337%2Fannounce

@derebo I just created the new torrent file:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=16475976792562576515

I think I'm going to make a separate topic for this and will update the page with every new release. If there is something that I really hate it's slow internet lol

EDIT: I decided to start an official topic with the Torrent download;

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/4400/torrent-download-retropie

From now on please post on that page if you have any questions. If there is a new version I will create the torrent and upload it here on this board.
