Actually, Dave Fetter is in charge of BT, probably should have asked him about 
the load factor before taking it off-line.

We have multiple hosting opportunities; I'm sure one of JD, Sean C, and Gavin 
Roy should be willing to host our bittorrent feed.   We need to get it up and 
running ASAP; if pginstaller isn't available via BT, then users are going to 
clobber pgFoundry, which got clobbered yesterday once already ....
