Torrents galore...but has anyone actually tried it?

So, one can now download AC3 in record time, but how does it
actually work on your Alphas?

Of special concern to me are:

1. support for MARVEL (ES47/ES80/GS1280) is back after a long
   hiatus; I've only an ES47 to test on, so I'd be interested
   if any of the other machines have been tried.

2. support for graphics not on peer PCI bus #0 (aka "hose" in the
   kernel, and "domain" in the X server); this is especially 
   important for the TITAN-based machines DS15 and ES45, as well
   as the MARVEL machines.

3. SABLE/LYNX (AS2100/AS2100A) support is currently broken - how
   many folks does this affect?

4. There's currently no MILO kernel - how many folks does this
   affect?

Awaiting your responses... ;-}

And many thanks to the torrentializers!!!
