We're also experimenting with making ghostscript releases available 
through bittorrent, a swarming download manager. To wit, please try the 
following links:

	http://ghostscript.com/bt/ghostscript-7.06.tar.bz2.torrent
	http://ghostscript.com/bt/ghostscript-7.06.tar.gz.torrent

instead of downloading from wisc or sourceforge. You'll also need the 
BitTorrent client, available from 
http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/download.html

The documentation is a little sparse, but the mac and windows 
installers should work ok. On unix systems, try 'python 
btdownloadcurses.py --url <above url>' There are also headless 
(non-curses text) and gui (wxwindows) versions.

Hopefully this will reduce our dependence on high-bandwidth servers.
