As for numbers, the tracker has registered about 600 complete downloads. In addition there are those who don't download all the cds, some use trackerless clients, "broken" clients and some just don't get counted due to communications failing around the time of completion. Hopefully a fair lot of those did install. As for currently registered seeds: FC4.2 i386 - 5 seeds FC4.1 i386 - 1 seed FC4.2 x86-64 - 2 seeds I will follow Rahul's advice and try to make it come under the Fedora umbrella. -HK
