Any reason why you do not want to download the "normal" way? I have 
never tried the torrent downloading for LO, so I do not know what to 
say.  It is much easier to do a direct download from one of the mirrors.

IT is 8 or 9 pm at the server site, so I do not know if the admin will 
be available to fix the torrenting issue at the server end till the morning.

As for "who". . .  well I cannot answer that.  One of the guys who does 
the server work [almost all are volunteers] is getting over a heart 
attack.  Actually, I do not know if there is one set guy that sets up 
the originalseed, but it is up to others do have it seeded on their 
personal systems and keep the torrent package running in the background 
so others can access it from their seeding.

Personally, I never leave a torrent package running anymore.  It is 
against my security policies.
