Team, I tried downloading the 8.1 beta 2 with jigdo, but it crashed.

I've been playing with BURNBIT... and found that you can easily create a .torrent file and keep it seeded with your server by using Torrent Buttons by http://burnbit.com/

QUESTION:  Would you consider going to http://burnbit.com/burn?file= and putting in the 8.1 Beta 2 and adding a button to the download page?

You can upload the beta to some mirror, then enter the mirror URL into burnbit... done!

Example:  I went to http://burnbit.com/burn?file= and entered http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/testing/8/iso/i386/smeserver-8.1beta1-i386.iso as the URL... and after it processed it, I click the GENERATE BUTTON and got this:

<a class="burnbit_torrent" burnbit_file="259092" burnbit_style="compact"></a>
<script src="http://api.burnbit.com/js/button.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Or I could create this link:

<a href="http://burnbit.com/download/259092/smeserver_8_1beta1_i386_iso">Click for SME Server 8.1 Beta 1 Torrent</a>

Or this:

<a class="burnbit_torrent" burnbit_file="http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/releases/testing/8/iso/i386/smeserver-8.1beta1-i386.iso" burnbit_style="normal"></a><script src="http://api.burnbit.com/js/button.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

burnbit_file
- should specify the complete URL to the file (including the "http://" prefix)
- and files with mirrors can use "|" to specify more than one URL, e.g. "http://example1.com/file.exe|http://example2.com/file.exe"

burnbit_style
- can be one of 3 values:  normal, compact, or custom

please report the crash to bugzilla, it is the right place to speak about this. By the way, i'm not sure but i don't see the interest to have an iso which the purpose is to test it in a torrent tracker.
Be aware that in few week there are other beta.
Thank for reporting to bugzilla.
