1453071 2018-08-25 06:28:00 @B.M. have a look on this site: https://linuxtracker.org/

I see there is a torrent for the latest deepin on that page: deepin 15 7 amd64 iso.

I just had a look at the page for that torrent and someone commented at the bottom:

"finally someone has been able to download this because downloading from their site is beyond slow, like average speed of 10 KBps. Been trying to download this file for like 3 days now."

Thanks for that Rod.

In the meantime I’ve been swatting up about this programme on Google, and whilst most feedback praises the “Desktop”, there are plenty of reports on the downside.

Whilst their Download Sites transfer speed is enough to make me pay attention for all the wrong reasons, it must be said that there seems to be general agreement that their Desktop is excellent.

However, one writer claimed that the programme had “backdoors” that allowed them to access your computer and avoid the password to make changes.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Another claimed it was very Chinese in its development, (no surprise seeing it is of Chinese origin) and needed you to think like a Chinese to operate it easily.

I would link to these articles, but there are hundreds of them if you Google.

In the meantime, I’ll do some more research, and if Google can satisfy me they have introduced Backdoors, Telemetry or otherwise, that’s me out.

Thanks again Rod. :thumbs:
