He linked back to me for the torrent files, so I quickly put up a welcome page for the people I knew were going to check this out for the first time.

Tuesday's hit count was almost three times as high as my previous highest, but I'm not sure if anyone stayed. Well it was fun being a link in a celebrity's blog for a few days, anyway.
