Is there or will there be a non-torrent download of this project?

Hi Shiva,

I don't really plan for this. I think bittorrent is a useful distribution method, and support it not being just for "pirates".

There is an option to create torrents with "web seeds", which seem to be traditional web servers. I don't want to pay for the bandwidth on a web server as each download is 1.3G. I use Amazon AMI to host my server. 1000 downloads/mo * $0.15/g * 1.3 g/download = $195/month - cha-ching!

Anyways, I already pay for bandwidth from my ISP! And so do you :-)

If you want to make a web seed, I'll add it to the torrent, which will speed up the download for everybody!

Cheers,

Mike
