experimental Samba BitTorrent downloads

I have set up a bittorrent download facility for the samba source.

To get it, install bittorrent and open this URL:

  http://samba.org/samba/ftp/samba-3.0.10.tar.gz.torrent

If you interrupt the transfer, just run the command again and it will
resume.

BitTorrent makes it easy for you to contribute to distributing samba --
just leave the client running after the download completes.  If you
already have a copy of that tarball, you can put it in the current
directory and it will start publishing straight away.

You should verify the GPG signature of the uncompressed tar file before
installation, whatever method you use to get it.

Cheers,
Martin
