Ok, (and this is in reply to John's list of to-dos...)

One of the problems with the BitTorrents at least has been tracked down 
- and it's a bit worrisome, to me - If it were actually bad RAM, 
wouldn't some people be getting the *right* data?

What it appears to be now is that NFS from the machine with the ISOs on 
them, to the machine running the BitTorrent tracker and seed, was hosed 
in some amazing manner.

I have since put a larger hard drive in that machine, and will probably 
some time this evening see if I can't get things working once more.  The 
files now reside on the BitTorrent tracker/seeder machine, and I've made 
multiple MD5 passes over them to make sure they got transferred via scp 
properly.

Blerg.  Lots of blerg here.

I'm going to see about getting the BitTorrent working again today.
