Faster than FTP?  120KB/sec FTP is the fastest uploading I have access to.

I am use to dealing with FTP.  The LibreOffice people have their system 
set up to deal with downloading the ISO file directly, via torrent, and 
such.  I do not know anything about torrent, but they will be doing the 
work for me, I hope, for that way to distribute the ISO file.  Not 
everyone has broadband access for downloading a DVD file.  Torrent is 
the choice for many.  That way, we can have the ISO file hosted in 
several places, and several ways for downloading, then hopefully, there 
will be several ways for people to get a printed copy of the DVD as well.

So in a few days, hopefully by the weekend, the ISO file will be on 
Drew's system.  A few weeks after that it may be on the LibreOffice 
system.  As soon after that as we can get the DVD "locked", I would like 
to have it available for pre-made discs for those who need one.  Maybe 
it will be all ready before the events.  I know the ISOs will be ready 
long before that.
