How do you get a copy of Mac OS 10.3 beta?

There's no way to search from within the app, and I've looked at a couple sites related to BitTorrent, but I haven't found anything about Panther. Where can I look? I'm still kinda undecided on whether I want to get it...but curiosity seems to be getting the better of me :)

I hear that it's out there... (as the Rastas say: byte mon soon come). Six hours or so to download. Can be double clicked to extract, but don't mount it. Just choose 'burn image' in Disk Copy. No need to use Terminal based on what I've seen...

Panther's very fast, no major probs. I had to reinstall my printer software, that's about it.
 
I've got a copy via Bit-Torrent as suggested but it won't install on my iBook 800 - the CD kenel panics as soon as it starts. Shame.
 
I did not mount them at all. I did, however, download them on a PC and Gunzip them there then transfered them to my iBook to burn. Perhaps it will work better if I transfer the .gz file to my iBook, gunzip it then burn it. I'll give it a go...
 
I think that might be the key. I know that when I play around with compressed files between my G4 and my Thunkpad, there are usually problems, i.e. I unzip a file on the Mac and then send it to the lame excuse for a computer, the files are not recognised- I have to ship the compressed file to the Thunkpad and then extract it...

Best of luck!
 
The KPs on CD boot-up seem to be machine dependent, or just random chance. The same CDs that KPed, but eventually installed on a G4 450, ran perfectly on a TiBook 1GHz. *shrug*
