I f'n hate Bit Torrent... >:(

[calimus at techography.net (Calimus)]

Torrents are great for larger files, no doubt.  However they hing on a few
key factors.  One is that there are an assload of ppl pulling the file.  Two
a fair ammount of that assload must be on high-speed connections (usually
around 3-4mb upload or better).

A small group of 7-10ppl is going to result in much frustration.

I've posted up the link on my server,  It should be faster then the BT.
