I've been seeding those torrents via rtorrent in the background since I posted them to Linux Tracker. The interesting thing about using LinuxTracker, in place of our own system, is that a) they keep statistics (4830 complete x86_64 base CDs downloaded, wow) and they also allow for discovery from other users. It allows someone to say "hmmm lets download some linux torrent... what is this 'ArchLinux'? *click*" _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
