Speaking of downloads, I tried to download the installer (probably
shortly afret it was released) and my Azureus could not find a usable
source. So I went ahead and got it the old way using http.

It probably takes some days before the torrent propagates enough.

Is there a mirroring script one could use to mirror torrents
automagically?
