This is more of an announcement than a question, but:

In the past, I've noticed questions from people looking for ISO image 
file torrents for FreeBSD.  To see if there really is a demand for this, 
I've set one up (only for FreeBSD 5.3RC2 i386 disk 1).  You can download 
the torrent file from http://www.eng.ufl.edu/bobj/FreeBSD-5_3_RC2.torrent

I'm using bnbt for the tracker and seeding it with ctorrent.  For some 
reason it seems reluctant to seed to other copies of ctorrent, but works 
fine with other clients (e.g. qtorrent).  When possible, I'll keep 
another seed up with a different client to try to make sure a usable 
seed is always up.

I'll also try to upload a copy to http://www.suprnova.org to get it more 
exposure.
