To see if there really is a demand for this, I've set one up (only for FreeBSD 5.3RC2 i386 disk 1). You can download the torrent file from http://www.eng.ufl.edu/bobj/FreeBSD-5_3_RC2.torrent I'm using bnbt for the tracker and seeding it with ctorrent. For some reason it seems reluctant to seed to other copies of ctorrent, but works fine with other clients (e.g. qtorrent). When possible, I'll keep another seed up with a different client to try to make sure a usable seed is always up. I'll also try to upload a copy to http://www.suprnova.org to get it more exposure. - Bob
