New page

Because the files needed to distribute Knoppix are so large, a number of sites around the world have volunteered to host exact copies of those files in order to "share the load" of bandwidth.

If you decide to download a Knoppix ISO file (as opposed to [http://www.knoppix.net/get.php getting one via Bittorrent] or ordering physical media), please look at the [http://knopper.net/knoppix-mirrors/index-en.html official list of mirror sites] and select one of those that are geographically closest to you.

== New Updates ==

In the period immediately after a Knoppix update, many people will be trying to get the new files simultaneously. Also, because the process of updating mirrors is not instantaneous, some mirrors will not have the new files yet, and some mirrors will have partial files. Both of these factors make [http://www.knoppix.net/get.php obtaining Knoppix via BitTorrent] a much better option than using FTP during these times. (While "many people downloading" makes FTP slower, it makes BitTorrent faster.)
