Having a copy of .torrent in the /iso dir

I was just think that the fedora mirror system could save a little/a lot 
of bandwidth if there were copies of the .torrent files found at 
http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/ in the /iso directories next to the 
actual iso files.  If these torrents were as convenient to get as the 
*.iso maybe more people would use them instead of just  saying 'what the 
heck' and clicking on the .iso.
Politically it would be a great statement.  One of the most significant 
open source companies stepping up and using bit torrent for an obviously 
legal purpose.  But, alas I'm not a lawyers so I have no idea the legal 
risks this would present.
