[Systems] [sverma at sfsu.edu: Re: [info at legaltorrents.com: [LegalTorrents] Your Content upload is complete]]

[Wesley Dillingham]

I have an account @ legaltorrents, account: wwdillingham at sugarlabs.org, and
have a particular interest in bittorrent distribution. I would be more than
willing to keep the legal torrents page up to date as well as the correct
version of SoaS available for download (and the snapshots).

I will attempt to apply the theme / info, from
http://www.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=gallery&page=gallery ,
http://www.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=page&page=learners and of course
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick to the legaltorrents page.
