23k is about right for a .torrent file, esp if compressed.

They are almost always under 100k.

hold down the shift key, and then left click?

Renaming it should work fine.

amule works well too... if a tad slow. It's quite easy to use...

Hey, waitaminit... I just installed xbox-myth beta 4! (well, save that I
can't get nfs working, so no working mythtv yet)

There are some tricks required and some things that are poorly or
undocumented as to the beta and the mechinstaller. Don't try it if you
haven't yet: The wrong version of Mechassualt or connecting to "Live"
will cause _much_ more work.

Contact me directly, or look at the xbox-linux-users list for details.

The xbox-linux-users list has been VERY helpful.

In case anyone is curious, the video out on the Xbox under Linux looks
GREAT. 

The first thing I did once I got xbox-mythtv running was to play a DVD
in mplayer...

...Looked indistinguishable from my std DVD player. (composite) Now I'm
getting the svideo cable... 

If anyone has this UP, running as a mythfrontend, please respond on or
off list. It could be (probably) my lack of Debian or networking
familiarity.
