Hi folks,
Now the problems with the iso have been sorted I've downloaded the latest
version and hopefully got it working so that it's available using BitTorrent.
I say hope fully because I've been able to download it using the torrent from
3 PC's but I've been having problems with my main offsite testing PC. Now it
could be just a problem with that machine as I've noticed a few other things
wrong with that PC as well.
Well the link is:
http://www.tuxx.homelinux.org/bit/smeserver-6.0unsupported.iso.torrent
Please let me know how you get on and if it works. If it does then I'll write
up a HOWTO to show how to share files using BitTorrent on a SME/Mitel box.
Thanks
Craig
