I was talking to Daniel Stone the other day (I've cc'd him on this
email) and he made a comment that the drives on the fd.o server are
really slow. I wonder if us creating a torrent of our content would help
in reducing this hard drive speed issue? I'm not sure how much bandwidth
our project uses, and is a good reason to start tracking stats (my task
on the roadmap ;)
