At the moment, Bittorrent is cruising along nicely, 130KBps down
and most of my upstream bandwidth, though it varies greatly of
course. (Comcast is 256Kbps upstream.) I'm 15% done with the
1812.8MB binary ISO set. Any chance of you running a Bittorrent
tracker? In theory it ought to work really well when so many
of us are on the same local networks (Comcast, or SBC, or
whatever). Then again, you've got so much bandwidth Bittorrent
is probably redundant (heh).

You'll need a completed ISO set before starting a Bittorrent seed
of course. Bittorrent is written in Python. I've never set
up a Bittorrent tracker, just used the client .torrent links.

In theory I can burn DVD-Rs for people, if there's sufficient
interest?
