I have been idle on ReactOS because my hard drives are partitioned GPT, and ReactOS can not boot and install from USB. I could try to download RosBE and cross-compile ReactOS from NetBSD or FreeBSD but would have no place to put the result if successful. Bittorrent would of course not solve this problem.
