I'm not sure if that fixed it (for me) -- I may have had a typo.

When I check yours now, I see 12 copies and 3 leeches.

When I check the torrent from whiteboxlinux.org (the one Jamey  put up, as 
best I know), I see 0 seeds and 51 leeches. I'm part of that one, and 
according to the md5's on the Whiteboxlinux.org website, I have the right 
files. (They match yours, by the way.)

I posted a note earlier that according to the current .torrent file on 
whiteboxlinux.org, my disc 2 is wrong. Problem is, my md5sum matches.

Since yours seems to have many more seeds than leeches, I'm going to keep mine 
on the whiteboxlinux.org torrent. At the very least, it should be getting 
most of the various files to people.
