If only 45 people are interested in downloading the torrent, why have 
a torrent at all?  This is much slower than a FTP or HTTP download 
would be.  For snapshots whose useful lifespan is maybe only a week 
and whose demand may be rather low, it might make more sense to 
provide un-mirrored direct HTTP downloads.  Or distribute the .iso's 
to a few willing mirrors who the seed the content via bittorrent.  I'm 
volunteering to do this.  I'll certainly leave my client seeding once 
it gets the whole file, but by then the weekend may be over and I 
won't have time for testing anymore :-(

file:     F10-Snap1-i686-Live
seeds:    1 seen now, plus 0 distributed copies(1:60.1%, 2:60.1%, 3:60.1%)
peers:    45 seen now

file:     F10-Snap1-x86_64-Live
seeds:    1 seen now, plus 0 distributed copies(1:76.1%, 2:75.9%, 3:75.9%)
peers:    43 seen now
