Hey guys,

We might be a couple people interested in this pack (I do as pack 
performance is one of my main interest in git).  Linus is interested, 
and I'd guess Junio too, maybe a few others.

Chris: why don't you just set up a Bittorrent feed for it?  When we'll 
all start fetching it then the bandwidth will increasingly be shared 
amongst all interested people.
