There is ONE permanent seed for both ISOs. It is running on the same server that handles the tracker. It's upload rate is strange; but this is BitTorrent all over.
Basically you will sit there for hours waiitng for it to send you a part, but it won't. Then when you least expect it, it will give you a part! Then it sits idle for a few hours.
The basic premise is that there should be more seeders than downloaders, and the tracker and primary seed spread the load accordingly.
The reason it keeled over was because the seed task quit after n hours like I told it. I since updated it again and it should be running until July 4th 2006 at best case :)
