Yesterday's news item in Maariv is probably the cause. Following that article (which, by the way, caught us by surprise as well) there was a huge increase in download attempts of GNU/Linux Kinneret. Prior to that article, the download attempts counter was at 1800. A few minutes a go it is at 6339. I don't know how many successful downloads were completed. By the way, the download counter in Berlios is showing 11052 downloads for Kannery and 3504 for Kazit. There is an alternative download link. However, since that link is not shown on our home page, it would not help to publicize it before the homepage is changed (which I can't do at the moment). As for BitTorrent, that is possible (we even have all the infrastructure in place as we plan to distribute development version 0.7.2 that way). We can work out the details to make sure the downloads from Hamakor will also use this method, later on. Links: http://whatsup.co.il/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=2750

Of course, this requires that I know how to make it available via bittorrent.
