Bit Torrent is quite reliable, especially right after something new and popular appears. Just make sure that you go to kernel.org and get the MD5 checksum to compare with what your md5sum computation yields.
I was playing around with installing different BT clients on two computers, both of which are firewalled by a Linux box running IPCOP (http://ipcop.org). I had set up port forwarding to one of my machines behind the firewall, and tried installing BT on a different machine. When I fired up the new installation, IT ACCEPTED INCOMING CONNECTIONS! Sure, the firewall logs on the original BT machine showed a bunch of rejected packets, but the new machine heard all of them just fine and was accepting incoming connections, even though they were addressed to another IP address on that subnet.
Things that make you go "Hmmm." Sorta like Colossus and Guardian, they really wanted to be connected, didn't they.

Everyone in Cincinatti is about to find out that the emperor has no clothes. I would be happy to drive to the part of town with BPL and have a nice long conversation on 7 MHz with my buddies... that would demonstrate how asinine this BPL is.
There is a reason why international agreements are required for the use of frequencies under 30 MHz. Worldwide propagation makes this a precious and scarce resource. Greedy power company bastards...
It's true. Television is addictive. When I was a kid, our TV got hit by lightning, and the TV repair man ripped out the high voltage deck and took it back to the shop for a few days. My dad would come home from work, sit in his chair, and stare at the dead TV screen.
I hope I never get that addicted to TV...
Does this mean I can sue all those clueless admins who keep bouncing spams at me that I never sent? I own a domain name that is being forged in the "From:" line of many spams.
