A private tracker could provide the torrent to registered users only, I don't see the difference between providing the ISOs with http. (the reason I ask is really: the URLs of the images are a real PITA to download with wget as I don't want to download a 500MB file with a browser)It's not really /that/ troublesome. Typically I run a screen, cut-n-paste the urls into a file, and do something like: foreach url ( `cat files` ) wget -O `basename "$url"` "$url" end I would use BT were it available, however, since it saves me the step of verifying the checksums (and re-downloading should one fail) and gives a nice GUI. Speed is of no concern to me because it's a rare occurance when Sun's pipes don't saturate my downstream. Another thing to note, is in a recent discussion with a friend who I'm in the process of converting over to Solaris, he asked this question about SXCR: "Ok, cool, so where can I find a torrent?" A lot of people seem to expect it these days. -- Eric Enright
