YDL4 Torrents Available!

[Ben Ricker]

BitTorrent works by opening up a connector port that other peers 
connect to. If you do not have that port open (if it blocked by your 
firewall, say), then downloads will be slower because BitTorrent will 
auto-cap your download.

If you are unsure if the connector port is working, I suggest you use 
Azureus as a client. It is Java so kind of slow, but it has lots of 
great features (including testing peer connector port.

I will have them downloaded as well and will leave them open as long as 
I can. I will most likely put it on my YDL server to share them out.
