Since I haven't found any official torrents download for KDE neon distribution, I make this topic to upload some torrents I've created and collected from friends and Internet. I hope somebody who seeking for a better download finds this useful.

New torrents will be updated as soon as possible.

KDE Neon is updated constantly. While you had good intentions, people who find this page through search engines and download it will get an out-of-date version and have to download huge updates after installing the system.

I'd remove the links if I were you, and just request the KDE developers to add official torrents to the download page.

Here is a page with latest KDE neon torrent and magnet links (always up-to-date, autogenerated from official neon.kde.org/download images, updates checked every hour)

Come on devs, please add official torrent files in future, it could be generated with just ~20 lines of code with libtorrent, you don't even have to seed if you add your regular iso link as a webseed.

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import os, libtorrent

image_dir = '/path/to/the/image/directory/'
image_file = image_dir + 'image-file-name.iso' # simplified, better use os.path.join
torrent_file = '/path/to/the/torrent-file-that-will-be-generated.torrent'

trackers = [] # newtrackon.com is a nice place to look for open trackers with best uptime
webseed =  '' # webseed is a traditional link to the image, so torrent users will always have at least 1 seed
              # i.e. https://files.kde.org/neon/images/neon-[edition]/current/neon-[edition]-[date]-amd64.iso

fs = libtorrent.file_storage()
libtorrent.add_files(fs, image_file)

t = libtorrent.create_torrent(fs)

for tracker in trackers:
    t.add_tracker(tracker, 0)

t.add_url_seed(webseed)

t.set_creator('libtorrent %s' % libtorrent.version)
libtorrent.set_piece_hashes(t, image_dir)
torrent = t.generate()

with open(torrent_file, 'wb') as f:
    f.write(libtorrent.bencode(torrent))


UPD: Thank you tuanphamanh for bringing this link to the first message!
UPD 2: KDE Neon now has official torrent files for some time, so my page above now redirects to official downloads page.

One problem I got a empty screen when I went to the dl screen. This is the first time I have seen this happen

I have the same problem ..., the kde download website https://neon.kde.org/download looks like this:

You can access files directly:
