It's good to see that people who donate their resources to a project are appreciated.
For things the size of ISOs, I generally try and get the torrent because it allows me to 'donate' some of my bandwidth to distributing the project too. Since not everyone can donate code or expertise, this seems like a good way to help, as it does spread the load around more, and (in our well-connected office at least) I get to be a temporary mirror for something that is often in demand just after release. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
