I have noted a number of comments with incoming requests for copies of the CD and DVD that state that people have had problems following the links. One comment today specifically mentioned that no one is seeding our BitTorrent link. I doubt that this is the case, but the comments occur too often to ignore.
There is a known problem on the DVD: the links used mixed case, so it won't work on a Linux/Unix system. It works fine on Mac & Win, which are not as case-sensitive.
Would it be appropriate to augment the CD/DVD download page with a link to some "newbie friendly" instructions?
Sure -- go ahead and supply some new content, or a rewritten page. Aaron, Marcello and I are all able to update the live pages. As you know, but others might not: I've undertaken to build a new "Best Of DVD." We'll have this up for testing soon... -- Greg
