I was waiting until we had more seeders, or at least until we had a
torrent client on wetnet.net, then was going to put postings out on
some other lists so the Windows folks could play.  That'll bring a
few more downloads I expect.  No way to know how many until we try
it.

If/when the maps go to torrents we may get a lot more users,
non-Xastir type of folks.  Those will be different seeders though in
general, so the current seeders don't have anything to worry about.
