One of our interns had to run down to the datacenter today and rescue an ailing 4.2 machine and the decision was made to just do a fresh install and restore a backup from last night. The only problem was that she had forgotten the 4.2 DVD in the office, a 2 hour drive back and forth. So I suggested she fire up her notebook which has a DVD burner and download the DVD via bitorrent instead. So she plugged her notebook in to a free port on our core switch and had the entire DVD downloaded in under 20 minutes. Yow!!!
So I thought I'd offer a big thanks to those of you who keep the ISO available for download.
Cheers,

Your welcome ... now if we can maintain the speed through the next update cycle, that would be GREAT :)
