ctorrent then starts working but get's errors like:

warn, write file failed while flush cache.


if I quit and restart ctorrent it says:

The EN torrent has the same problem.


Any help appreciated!

For what it's worth, I downloaded from the bittorrent last night, burnt two CDs today, and they boot and work fine. Others are reporting good downloads on Bittorrent too.

By the way, Bittorrent was very fast, much faster than anything else I've ever downloaded with Bittorrent, and I expect faster than I could have downloaded from the mirrors.
