[Inx] Torrent update, and a request...

Hello,

Well, so far there have been 12 completed downloads of inx-1.1, using
the torrent ... but...

We started with 4 seeds. Currently we have 5 seeds. So *some* people
are downloading the iso then dropping out of the swarm. This is not
good.

If you are one of them, please come back, all is forgiven. ;-) The idea
is to *leave your torrent client open* and wait. No seeding is likely
to happen for a while, so don't think this is useless. A ratio of 5:12
is not really a good look. In some circles this would be described as
"leeching".

It's understood that not everyone can leave their machine on 24 hours a
day - but when you boot up, remember to turn the torrent on back on. If
you don't want to give the torrent lots of upstream bandwidth, that's
fine - every little bit helps. Just adjust your torrent client's
upstream (seeding) to some fraction of your maximum that you are
comfortable allowing.

Here endeth the lecture ;-)

Peter
