In any case I'm currently working on a project to get a bit-torrent client working for an http seeding as specified by Michael Burford of GetRight here -> http://www.getright.com/seedtorrent.html . It will also be proxy aware, so this will hope fully solve the problem of downloading these files from behind a corporate firewall/proxy and also protect me from getting fat bills from my web hosting co. I'm hoping to host all or at least most of the virtual appliances that do not have a http download link this way. Cheers! Hi Bert,

You could use a service like www.gigasize.com or www.mediafire.com to offer http downloads. Bittorrent is great, except when your behind a corporate firewall / proxy. To bad, the http mirror is down.
