It looks like everybody's going for the original AVI anyway, Matt ;) I'm 
going to be mirroring it on two servers (one east coast, one west coast) 
on 10Mbit and 100Mbit connections, respectively. However, since 
everybody seems to be going for this AVI, it's probably going to be 
approximately 1 day before they are up. I hope others will do the same 
as soon as they are done downloading.
