There used to be a torrent, but apparently discontinued years ago as Internet 
connections became faster, while Gentoo ISOs and Stage 3 remained just a few

These days I'm having better luck downloading through bittorrent and
seeding rather than doing direct downloads with wget.  Problem with direct
downloads on large files files come down corrupted and don't verify when I
try to verify them.  It is probably a bad internet network connection.
I'm rather sure last time computer went back to factory for repair it had
its ram checked and found good.
