I don't know if everyone saw the message on the Fedora list about the torrent: http://www.torrentspy.com/download.asp?id=326159 I am downloading at about 170 KB/s right now, and the files to be downloaded are: FC4-i386-disc1.iso FC4-i386-disc2.iso FC4-i386-disc3.iso FC4-i386-disc4.iso SHA1SUM I'll let everyone know how it looks when I get done.
