I just now ordered the CDs, and thought I'd try BitTorrent - I found
the site, and was a little disappointed that they had Doze, Redmond^H^H^H^H
Hat,
Debian, and source. I suppose compiling from source wouldn't be so bad;
anyway, I tried Windoze, and it tells me, "connecting to peers...", and
shows
no progress.

For a little while, then I get a Red X "Download Error" "Problem connecting
to tracker - HTTP Error -1:
[OK]

But, this is a doze box that's at 10.0.0.199 on my local gateway's eth1,
and the gateway's eth0 is dynamic IP to outside - would the fact that
my connection is going through IP masquerading have anything to do with
this?

Or is it maybe just that it's loaded up?

Thanks,
