      Hi there,

      I'm wanting to try out retropie on my RPI 4 and understand that the weekly builds have a suitable disk image. I'm currently downloading retropie-buster-4.5.18-rpi4.img.gz but it is taking a VERY long time:

      19.2 KB/s - 108 MB of 805 MB, 10 hours left

      Is there any alternate source I can download this from please?

      Many thanks.

        Do a manual install from a Raspbian Buster Lite image, as explained in the Docs. The Raspbian download might work better.

          Thank you, will give that a try.
          Out of interest are there any torrent alternatives, or mirror servers?

          Thanks,

            Not that I know of - and it wouldn't make sense, since they're they're not official and change frequently.

              @NZMun Here is an unofficial mirror. https://bret.dk/mirrors/retropie/
              @mitu Not sure if this is allowed, so delete if it's not.
