(Beta) for ia64.  This product supports Intel Itanium2 processors.

Downloading -- Bittorrent
-------------------------

A bittorent for the DVD binary iso file is available from: 
http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.0beta/isos/ia64/CentOS-4-beta1-ia64-DVD.iso.torrent

The source RPMS are available via bittorrent from: 
http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.0beta/isos/i386/CentOS-4.0-Beta-i386-src6-9.torrent

Please use bittorrent and keep your downloader running for others to use
even after the download completes.

If you need some quick pointers for getting up to speed on bittorrent
read: 

http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=24

Once again - please leave your downloader running after the download is
complete (with ports 6881-6889 open) as your downloader will become part
of the peer to peer bittorrent network and reduce the load on our mirror
servers.
