The story says "...When project manager Patrick Hogan unleashed World Wind, one of NASA's servers collapsed under a deluge of download requests - 100,000 a day - and the service went offline. This spring, it's back, with a bigger server..." and a BitTorrent link! http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/download.html It's nice to see USA government scientists making use of P2P to save taxpayers' money.
