Som unofficial (ie: if they break you get to keep both pieces) torrents
have been set up by Luke-Jr to aid in the distribution of the Gentoo 1.4
Release.

If you want to help out (or if you just want an alternate method of
grabbing the 1.4 release please visit:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~luke-jr/torrent/gentoo-1.4

If you are running a Windows BitTorrent client then I think clicking on
a .torrent link in your browser should fire up the client automatically.

If you are running a Linux client then you may have to right-click
download the .torrent file and then do something like:

	btdownloadcurses.py athlon-xp-1.4-20030731-cd1.iso.torrent

For all your BitTorrent clients visit:
	http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent

If you are already running Gentoo, then it is simply a matter of:
	emerge bittorrent

(and for those that want it a bit quicker, add USE="-X" at the beginning
to stop the gtk client being built)

If it is a gtk client, would USE=gtk not be more appropriate?

Just wanted to note that as BitTorrent is interpreted, not compiled, disabling 
X/gtk has virtually no effect on speed...
