Hi, Not sure on what other list this would be discussed... But I noticed that: Error 503 torrents.FreeBSD.org is offline. It will probably will not be back. And this has been one of the small ways to support the FreeBSD community, by offering almost all images on torrents.... Got about 750 full 7.0 CD1 download 350 full 7.0 DVD1 downloads So what is the reason for this? policy no more support? --WjW
