   I did actually bother to check out the site-- I noticed the C64   
   OpSystems torrent, and wanted to check if my Asterix64 as in there.   
   Snooping around, I noticed the only person seeding any of the alive   
   C64 torrents was a Norwegian site trying to support ~20-30 torrents   
   over a dial-up.   
      
   One person. ~1GB of files. On dial-up. This is what _always_ happens   
   with small rego trackers that maintain bittorrent seeding ratios.   
      
   Needless to say, the idea of trying to download any of the ~200MB   
   archives at 160 bytes/sec wasn't appealing to me.. I'll wait and see   
   if the archives appear on eMule.
