[Centos] CentOS-4.0 (RC1) for i386 Official Release

The CentOS team is happy to announce the availability of CentOS-4.0
(RC1) for i386. This product supports AMD Athlon, Athlon XP, Duron,
Intel Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4 and
Pentium Xeon processors. i586 based CPU's are also supported.

A bittorent for CD binary iso files is available from: 
http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.0beta/isos/i386/CentOS-4.0.rc1-i386-bin1to5.torrent

The only way to download ISO's is via bittorrent. Please leave your 
download client running after the download is complete (with
ports 6881-6889 open) as your client will become part of the peer to
peer bittorrent network and reduce the load on our network mirrors.  If
you need some quick pointers for getting up to speed on bittorrent
