<strike>'''Survey''' - I need to know what torrent sites people use the most for the upcoming 0.2 release. Please [http://ashughes.com/?q=node/64 vote].</strike>
<strike>'''Server''' - I need a torrent server set up in CDOT and populated with some test data. This will be used to both test and demonstrate while on the school network.</strike><br />Big thanks to [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Jatinder.singh Jatinder] for attempting to get this working in CDOT. After running into considerable technical difficulties, I was able to set up a tracker with seeding locally on my laptop. This will be used for demos as an alternative to the CDOT server.
