The f.scarywater.net tracker no longer exists; this is a list of *.torrent files for The MirOS Project hosted here. Please redownload these, as they are redone for DHT and a new tracker on 2010-09-26, even if you had redownloaded them during August/September 2010 as openbittorrent.com has also bitten the dust, sadly.
Clarification: The content is unchanged, only the torrent metafile has changed!

The 32-bit hex numbers in square brackets are the CRC32 or SFV checksum of the files, as usual for the Anime Torrent scene ☺
Tracker
This information represents the files shown on the Scarywater MirOS tracker. (Some of the files are also available on some other torrent site.)
The Scarywater tracker has quite often some problems with the statistics server, and the admin doesn't always seem to notice if it's down again. Thus, even if you see zero peers, try the torrent, maybe you're lucky and someone's online and just not shown. Also, most of the recent torrents are multi-tracked. We've been using alternative Torrent sites such as Demonoid for a while, with more coming; OpenBitTorrent - An open tracker project (thanks smultron for the link) coming next.
The last field in the table denotes the architectures the torrent's contents are for: i386, sparc, d(ua)live or dual(-arch). Releases are always labelled #<versionnumber><additional info> while snapshots are usually labelled with their release date, rarely after the events on/for which they were released. If a lower-case letter "c" is added, the snapshot also contains a copy of the CVS repository.
Generic information
Releases never contain Live CD functionality. The releases offered are always ISO images (single file torrent), dual-arch (appearing as dual in the torrent list).
Snapshots are usually Live+Install CD ISOs for i386, and currently, multi-file downloads for sparc (since there isn't a point in making a live CD for sparc yet) missing a miniroot. Snapshots are almost always only for a single architecture, appearing as i386 or sparc in the torrent list.
The new dualive (appears as dlive in the torrent list for shortness) format is an ISO 9660 image bootable as Install CD (and HDD etc.) on sparc and as Live+Install CD, DVD, HDD, USB-Stick, CF/SD/MMC/… Card on i386. They sometimes contain very few selected binary packages, usually for both architectures, as the size of the image is pretty much at the capacity limit.
Information about specific torrents
Releases
If you're helping us to seed, please seed as many old releases as possible as well. If you cannot seed them all, seed at least #9semel (latest for i386) and #7quater (latest for sparc), please.
#10semel
2008-03-16 – MirOS ξ with i386, sparc, full source code, the CVS repository, and a few selected binary packages for convenience.

Fallback…
You could always (after checking which is more recent) use NetInstall (i386), and notify us if you require a sparc snapshot.
