[lug] Whither Severn?

[Neal McBurnett]

My best luck has come fromusing torrent for big downloads on release day.
From Red Hat today:

 One additional feature provided by the Linux community is the
 availability of SEVERN via BitTorrent.

   http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/severn-binary-iso.torrent

   http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/severn-src-iso.torrent


   RPMS for Red Hat Linux 7.3 through 9 of BitTorrent are available
 from:
   http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/btrpms/


   Usage is simple:
   btdownloadcurses.py --url http://URL.torrent


   Allow incoming TCP 6881 - 6889 to join the torrent swarm.
