Frank & Co,

I was intrigued by the Geodata Torrent concept at:

http://uo.space.frot.org/?node=GeodataTorrents

and very interested also in getting a geotiff copy of SRTM30+, so I
pointed
BitTornado at <http://fwtools.maptools.org/data/srtm30plus.tif.torrent>
but 
received nothing.

Are there tricks or issues that we should know about with this approach
to 
distribution of Geodata?

Thanks,
Rich

Yes, the problem is that the BitTorrent tracker has been locked down
to prevent the k1dd1es from distributing warez using our service. Try
http://mappinghacks.com/data/srtm30plus.tif.torrent -- I've also fixed
the link on the wiki page.
