AlphaCore 1.0 torrent/mirror available

[Hoover, Tony]

Sorry, 
Can't participate in a torrent.  University policy (and hardware) prohibits
all P2P type transfers.

IMO as long as the md5sums match, who cares if the mirror is official?  :)

Also, I would request that mirrors (or anyone else!) also run a 
btdownloadheadless.py or btlaunchmany.py process in the background, to 
seed the AlphaCore torrent.  Make the downloads screaming fast, whether 
you're in the US or UK or anywhere else...
