I understand. That is why rather than naming the password I gave a hint. However foolishly, I'm banking on the stupidity of pirates. If there is a problem, it will be trivial to delete and change the password. >> There would be people out there with just a few of the CD's that >> would like to contribute.

We don't want to change a torrent. This ruins the model, because those who have the data can't continue to seed if the torrent changes without redownloading. >> If we did it in 1-degree by 1-degree sections the way that the USGS >> distributes them, this whole scheme would be much more workable.

On the Wiki, we can just have a heading for each State and list the multiple torrents that pertain to that state.

Yes, this is very useful. > The state torrents would change as the dataset grew, but the > 1x1-degree torrents would remain the same. Yuck, no, don't change torrents. > What's a good headless client for such purposes, one that can be > used for multiple torrents? Something that wouldn't take hours and > hours to set up. On northwest.aprs2.net I use rtorrent with screen. I'm very happy with this. The keyboard controls are daunting at first, but after reading the user guide (took about 10 min) I realized they are all very intuitive, so I haven't had to reference the guide again. > On Fri, 1 Aug 2008, Curt, WE7U wrote: Quit with the replies or I'll never finished this message!
