Bazzite download keeps failing (feddit.org)

I wanted to try Bazzite but for some reason the download from bazzite.gg is very slow (around 1-2MB/sec) and also fails at some point, every time.

Does anyone know this issue? Is there a torrent for Bazzite that I am not aware of?

That's sad, because Bazzite is awesome. You could just install another Fedora Atomic flavor and then rebase it to Bazzite:

    I wanted to have a look at it via LiveUSB first tho. But thats a good idea nonetheless, thanks!

    Does it even have a live USB? I thought that's not a thing with immutable distros? At least Kinoite didn't have a live USB option.

    I wasn't able to find one. Which, if anyone saw my shitpost, is the real reason I installed it on my crapbook. I found out that the installer is pretty great, it just worked out of the box (at least on that computer, my gaming machine has an Nvidia graphics card...), and that GMOME isn't really for me.

    Seeing your post I was actually worried because next week I wanted to install Bazzite on my laptop. For me the download worked fine though, 3-4 MB/s, its the bazzite Asus nvidia image. So it seems more of a problem with your internet connection somehow, more specific to wherever they store downloads.

    Are you downloading with a download manager that could retry connecting when it fails?

    I also noticed slow dl speeds some weeks ago, and had to restart the download. Nearly did not install it out of growing frustration. But it worked out in the end.

    I think there's something wrong with their website. It's not loading properly for me on Firefox. Maybe they are having server issues?

    Oh, I thought it was my NoScript addon that was messing that up, good to know. Gonna try again in a couple of days or just go the Fedora -> rebase route.

    This looks pretty interesting! I haven't used fedora before either so could be good to give it a go. I've had some issues with my Pop OS install so could be a good excuse to try something new.
