Not sure why it's that lopsided.  Over all, I'm not too surprised it's 
not running all that fast - I figure most people got the stuff from the 
other torrent, or via FTP

As it stands right now:

-bins: 6 seeds, 5 leaches
-srcs: 1 seed, 2 leaches

And remember, I just restarted these a few hours ago - not everyone's 
*heard* about them, yet.

I need to put them up on suprnova.org - that'll get some attention.

I really suspect, though that FTP is by *FAR* doing most of the moving - 
Hawaii has fed out 370G this month...  Haven't heard stats from any of 
the other mirrors.
