Linspire Livecd

Where can I download Linspire Livecd that is not bit torrent? I can not get Linspire Full version from linspire.com because their servers are too busy. Is there somewhere else I can get it?

Why can't you download using bittorrent?

I see you're using Gentoo, so

The download will take about 3 days if it does not fail on bit torrent, and I am using DSL.

It won't take 3 days. I've done it before. This is what Linspire has to say about it:

IMPORTANT! It takes BitTorrent a while to get connected to other machines. If you see a message it is going to take "58 hours to download" (or some ridiculously high number) — just be patient! BitTorrent has to connect to other "peers" in order to work properly. Sometimes this takes awhile. Give it 10-15 minutes to get going and then check on it again. If you are still having problems with your download speed you may check the hints below.

That's from

Also a BitTorrent download can be canceled and resumed later. I'm also told that BT does somekind of automated MD5 Checksum so unlike with HTTP of FTP download you are 100% sure the file you downloaded with BT is correct.
