I stayed on at least 24 hours after mine finished. I suppose I could fire it back up again, but what should we class as a reasonable time to keep it up?

Call me "he who could not track down a > tracker" : ) -- When BT froze (not BT's fault), I rebooted to change some bios settings for the ram. I've since learned why BT wouldn't start up again after I rebooted. My connection is dynamic, and my IP had changed when I reconnected. You need to d/l a new mytorrent-<userID>.torrent file every time your IP changes. Otherwise you'll get that 'can't connect to tracker' error. Somehow I missed that instruction, but luckily d/l'd a new torrent file on a hunch ;) AFAIK, to make your own CD's you need to d/l the entire 9.2 tree and use 'mkcd' to create CD's from it, specifying size (650, 700 mb). You'll need to look for and study any docs you can find. I've never done it. Probly be easier to make a floppy image and do a ftp install. Tho I've never done that either ;) Just another comment: Over 4,400 people have gotten the complete iso's, but only 318 are currently still online to upload them to others. That's not very nice. Seems a lot of people got theirs and then selfishly disconnected. The torrent idea depends on people staying online .... specially after they're d/l is complete. http://torrent.mandrakesoft.com:6969/ -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
