So I don't mind being locked out of SL every so often, until I download new software. I wish the automated update worked, but c'est la vie. I asked for bleeding edge, and this really is it.

However, it would make the whole thing less painful if there was a torrent of the client, in addition to the regular HTTP download. It would also reduce load on the server; most every modern linux client has one, so they can all participate in the hosting of the code.

I don't think any torrent can be easier ;) And the download speed maxed out my internet bandwidth, so a torrent wouldn't make it faster either :)

I'm collecting the original .torrent files from Amazon S3 at http://www.torrents.slportal.net.
There are also RSS-Feeds for automated dowloads available.

Torrent won't make it faster or easier. What it *will* do is make it possible to repair a corrupted download

I've tried to download twice so far, and parts of the tarball are corrupt (I'm suspecting my disk - Reiser FS mounted with "notail" option). If there was a torrent, I could start that and it would only download the corrupt portions, thus repairing the entire tarball.
