[tahoe-dev] barriers to using tahoe

Here is a link to the download directly:

http://www.allmydata.com/downloads/Allmydata321Setup.exe

However, note that it's a bit of a pain to get working with storage 
grids other than Allmydata.com because of the authentication required by 
the app with the SMB/CIFS interface. We've been looking at how to 
separate this out, but nothing is out yet for it.

The Trac instance for this is here:

Hope this helps,
Peter
