Re: Updates on Swarm requirements

[Paul Johnson]

I said do not take the rpm file, instead the self extracting binary.

The download is 40 megabytes, so it takes a while.

I think they mean you to click on the file name with the left button in 
order to download it, at least it does for me.  When you right click on 
a link to a web page, it tries to save that page's link, rather than the 
binary you want.
