I just noticed the announcement on the list. I tried to download the
files but it looks like the torrent is dead. There are 8 seeds and 1
peer, none of which to connect.
I should be there, running the trackerless version though, with this
script:
----------
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/bittorrent-console FC4.2-Unofficial-i386.torrent &
----------
Just as a FYI, the bittorrent packages in Fedora Extras include
initscripts for running trackers and seeders as services running in the
background.
For example, to run a seeder for FC4.2-Unofficial-i386.torrent, you
would just dump the FC4.2-Unofficial-i386.torrent file (and, if you've
already downloaded the data, the FC4.2-Unofficial-i386 directory and its
contents) into the bittorrent data area (/var/spool/bittorrent for FC3,
/srv/bittorrent/data for FC4 and later) and run (as root):
# service btseed start
