Thanks for the 6.4 terabyte
Opus, aka www.analytics.washington.edu, was shutdown last weekend as its owner, Tony Rossini, is currently on leave from U W. Thanks to Tony, and the consistent sysadmin'ing by Eric Webster, opus served as the bittorrent seeder for my Quantian distribution.

As shown by this screenshot, opus had transferred a whopping 6.4 TB in total, including 5.0 TB in over 2600 downloads of the most recent release 0.6.9.3.

So please join me in a big 'Thanks' to Tony, Eric and the U W for supplying this service. It is greatly appreciated.

Lastly, if anybody knows of a willing and able host that could play primary or secondary mirror for Quantian as well as torrent seeder, please do not hesitate to contact me.
