The backdoor is only a problem if you chose to download by the slowest possible mirror instead of torrent AND then also INSTALLED the .iso. It seems surprising to me that 'hundreds' would do it that way. Why would anyone dl by other than torrent? OK; let's say they don't know how or don't want to torrent. Why/ How many/ would not change mirrors to something better if there were such a slow download? -- Mike Easter
