I saw how fast you fixed that, it's probably a record...

Ok, I've spent three hours trying to get BitTorrent to work. I found the RPM 
for SuSE 9.0 and installed it. I've read the BitTorrent FAQ, and I'm stumped. 
I only get a 1K file.

Then I dusted off a legacy box with Win98, downloaded the BitTorrent 
executable, and can't get it to run either. It gives an error and the Windows 
box has to be rebooted. This is a relatively "new" Win98 install, too; I just 
keep this box around for such occasions. 

Needless to say I'm pretty frustrated. If you could point me to a URL that has 
the actual ISO images, I'll download both of them and mirror them in Costa 
Rica (not as BitTorrent files). I'll also be setting up a mirror here in 
Panamá within the next few weeks, and would be happy to put the ISO images 
there too. I'll download the ISOs from your site during off hours if 
bandwidth is a problem - just let me know when I can do it.

I've also subscribed to the list as this is a very interesting subject for me. 
I'll introduce myself later, but would like to get this going as I have 
already posted a link to the story. 

Thanks,
