Where can I download BAMT? The original site bamter.org is down, and the only link I found in this thread that isn't a 404 gives me a corrupt download.
BitcoinTrading.com's got your back.

Direct download.

bamter.org is hosted at MomentoVPS - https://momentovps.com/

They take payment via BTC, which is why we use them.  However, they are very unreliable, even for a cheap virtual hosting place.  This means the bamter.org site is sometimes offline.

If anybody knows of a better VPS/hosting solution that takes BTC, lemme know.

Downloading images from unofficial sources is not recommended.  As you found with the corrupt download and 404s, they often just don't work.  You also run the risk of tampering or malware infected images if you choose not to use official mirror sites.

Find the IP of your rig, SSH to it with Putty.

Perhaps this will help:

You can utilize the FROM and TO directories in windows to edit/modify the bamt.conf file.

they can be found at \BAMT\CONFIG

FROM = the existing bamt.conf used on the image.
TO = the bamt.conf the image will pull to use on next mine start

\BAMT also contains 2 other useful directories.  CONTROL and STATUS.  All described in the readme.txt in the \BAMT directory.

You'll need to use an editor on windows that doesn't add a CR/LF to the end of the line, or use a hex editor.

Just plug the USB into another machine (don't boot from it) I think these directories are in /live/image/...

AHA obviously i should have saw a use for the TO folder and should have tried it out

EDIT: Web interface stopped working

do i need to startup the PC with video cable attached and viewing for it to show? thats how i started it before and web interface worked

now startup, auto loads and starts hash but web interface not working
i have correct ip address, at least its the same as the one on the background of the mining rig bamt screen

quickly how can i transfer my configuration from one installation to another? (for example, changing usb keys)

copied batm.conf and pools and when the system starts up it just overwrites them with older versions

have your bamt.conf (and/or cgminer.conf) in text files on your computer, then when you ssh into the box,

cd /etc/bamt/
rm bamt.conf
nano bamt.conf
paste your conf into the putty window by right clicking
save

I see people keep asking for a BAMT able to run with 7970 cards so I am thinking to share mine.
It may work for you or it may not...give it a try. It worked for me two months already so is not gonna blow your PC.

It is a BAMT updated to SDK 2.6 and 8.921 AMD driver using cgminer 2.5.0.
SDK 2.6 was recommended by ckolivas for 7970 and the 8.921 driver was (I tried all recent drivers) the only one that did not gave me hardware errors with cgminer.
Other (more recent) SDK/driver combinations could work also but this one worked perfectly for me.

All you need to do is edit bamt.conf at the cgminer_opts line and enable cgminer in each GPU section for how many cards you have.
If you want to use a separate cgminer config be my guest, I personally enter all the options I need in that cgminer_opts line.

I give no guarantees that it will work for you, it does for me with three 7970 cards.

root password = root
user password = live

Hope this damn torrent will work, eventually add these trackers to your bit-torrent client:

What settings would I use for some 5970's?

core clock 0-> 2 all 725mhz to stay to stock?

memory 300mhz

and of course change disabled to '0' for all 4 since i have two installed thats 4 cores right now

Are you asking settings for OC or what are the stock settings?

Thanks, very useful.

(edit) Unfortunately though that image doesn't boot. After writing it to a USB stick with win32diskimager and trying to boot, I get "Syslinux error: no configuration file found No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found" and a boot prompt that doesn't do anything. I tried another USB stick, same result.
I see someone else has had the same problem: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.794424 no solution posted apart from "download again" which I did, no change.

(edit2) ah, I'm not the only one. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.800875 that page has several people with the same problem. Does anyone have the image with fat16 filesystem that is talked about there? The one from bitcointrading seems to have the flawed fat32 filesystem. FWIW, the motherboard I'm trying to boot this on is an Asus, not a Gigabyte.

(edit3) I've managed to recreate the BAMT 0.5c with fat16 filesystem, by reformatting the 525MB partition, copying over the files and reinstalling syslinux (latest version, 4.05) - and now it boots. It looks like indeed some motherboards have issues booting from fat32 USB sticks.
