Maybe I’ve been asleep and just missed an announcement but when I went to
d/l the milestone the BitTottorent button was disabled on the web page. Has
OpenSUSE blackballed bit torrent downloads?

I don’t think so since the .torrent files are available at
http://download.opensuse.org but I suspect they are disabled on the webpage
because there are very little to no seeders for the milestones.

What was that you were saying about Linux being a headache?
Sorry, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of openSUSE being awesome.

Just to check, I looked at the 12.2 distribution page - same case. Bit
Torrent download option is disabled. Oh, well.
Still, 'tis a bit self-defeating as not having the option on the d/l page
will discourage any potential seeders. Thanks for reminding me to look into
the files for that torrent.

I am not able to download torrent file from page (will not let me click) but using torrent file found manually on server works fine.
The page just got fixed.
