The confusion seems to come from the fact that there is no available 
link to put one on the http://torrent.fedoraproject.org site, hence the 
impression of a total lack of torrent support on the part of the fedora 
project other than a link to download Bram's version.  So its not 
exactly intuitive to find the above site.  I have NDI if thats 
intentional or whatever the reason, bit it sure has generated a lot of 
traffic finding it from here.  I finally found it with a google search, 
many items down from the top.
