had a person with .2% feeding the torrent. I was at about 3.4% this morning, 
but I'm restricted to dial-in (G3 on SprintPCS).  Neither DSL or Cable 
Internet is available.

James:
Cheapbytes (www.cheapbytes.com) has had CDs and DVDs at $8.99 to $15.99 (plus 
shipping) since yesterday. I just ordered a set. While I've only dealt with 
them one time, I was very impressed with their service -- my disks showed up 
a day before the promised date. FWIW, they'll probably deliver your disks 
about the same time that you finish your download.
