I finally emailed Mandriva for permission to FTP and they sent me an 
email with a link, an ID and pwd that didn't work.

Here I sit pretty frustrated.  I have been a Mandrake Club member for 
three years.  I pay more and get less than if I just ordered the CD 
once a year.

If you find and answer let us know.

P.S.   I assume you have looked at the Bitorrent FAQ.  If you have a 
router between you and the internet as I again assume we all do,  You 
need to open some non-standard ports,( 7070 and 6969 I think. You can 
look it up on Bitorrents site) and make sure they forward to your 
bittorenting PC.
