Hi,
I've added a Metalink for your ISO at
http://www.metalinker.org/samples/gnewsense-livecd-1.0.iso.metalink
It lists your mirrors & checksum, which allows download programs to offer
higher reliability, speed, and automatic checksum verification. You can list
the mirrors by location and priority. You can also list p2p sources, but I
haven't done so here.
There are Metalink clients on Unix, Mac, and Windows. aria2
(http://aria2.sourceforge.net/) is a nice Unix command line downloader.
wxDownload Fast (http://dfast.sourceforge.net/) is cross platform and has a
GUI.
If you're interested, here's how others are using Metalink:
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/magnet.html
http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version#Metalink
http://www.archlinux.org/download/
http://www.pcbsd.org/?p=download
I've included the Metalink here so you can take a look, it's just XML.
