[Corpora-List] Seeking beta-testers for new BitTorrent distribution of my USENET corpus. - 2007 corpus files now fixed.

[Cyrus Shaoul]

To Türker and others who have helped test this out:
Thanks for all the feedback. I have have fixed the problem with the 
download of the 2007 slice of the corpus.
If you tried to download 2007 and failed, please try again. The link to 
the corpus is here:

My thanks go out to all the beta-testers. It appears that the seeding 
has gone well, and that some of you have
downloaded large portions of the corpus. Thank you for being generous 
and seeding the corpus for others.

Yours,

Cyrus

PS: Angus: I will contact the Oxford Text Archive and see if they are 
interested in it.
I still feel that BitTorrent makes more sense for very large corpora.
