Just read the complaints about the download speed on FB. If you really have a traffic of 200GB per day wouldn't it be useful to distribute via BitTorrent relieving the ftp-server?

That would be great but for the fact that most north american ISP's do something called traffic shaping that gives torrents a very low priority.

Enjoy the Choice

Maybe, but this would only be problem if the relative part of NA download is very significantly higher then the part of the rest of the world, what I personally disbelieve. If the ftp traffic and the load on the server can be reduced, NA would also benefit.

The tuxfamily guys have a pretty relaxed attitude to the load, so I'm not overly worried in between major releases. But having a torrent is a good idea anyway.

What might "work" is have a series of torrents with

1 %platform% (one of Windows|Source|Mac|Linux in Release|Testing versions)
2 A copy of the most current Community Assets zipfile (corrected for that LFS issue)
3 Instructions on how to put things together and a basic starter guide
