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.
