Thanks to Nikolas Britton (his http://www.nbritton.org/uploads/ is not

Thanks to those who setup torrent stuff.  I'm new to torrent, so
for anyone else who may be too, this is what I did:
        ftp http://home.golden.net/~rcent/techtv-freebsd_clusters.avi.torrent
        cd /usr/ports/net/ ; echo *torrent*
                ctorrent py-bittorrent py-bittorrent-core py-shadow-bittorrent
                py-shadow-bittorrent-core qtorrent torrentsniff
        cd ctorrent ; make install ; rehash ; 
        cd ~/tmp ; ctorrent techtv-freebsd_clusters.avi.torrent
I immediately got a 176M file (obviously just an empy lseek created
thing, to be filled later).   Over an hour later, du still showed
no progress, at Thu Apr  7 01:47:18 CEST 2005 (CEST = Greenwich
+01:00) & I still had

Failure!  Was it just that no servers were up running ?
(I ran it on an external host, to avoid firewall obstruction).
