It is still running. The box hosting the .torrent file got swamped last
night, but the tracker and my seed were running on a different box (at work).

I think you can join the appropiate torrent and it will save most if not
all of the work you have downloaded. Do a copy, just in case.
I know I have joined torrents with complete downloads to help out. I think
I also joined with partial downloads obtained from mirrors that I killed
because they were running too slow, but its been a while, so i am not 100%
sure about that.

I am going to leave the seed and tracker running for a while (though I might
get the rate cut if I am using too much of our bandwidth) to give people
a chance to finish up what they have started. I will be removing the
.torrent file though, as people should be using the official torrents now.
