I have a probably crazy idea: How about composing the DVD iso using a 
filesystem that contains the CD isos and a bootloader that can use the CD 
isos as installation source? Then a little bit of space of the DVD iso would 
be wasted and it would take a little more effort to burn only the CD isos, 
but then only one torrent would be needed and everyone can easily share 
bandwidth with everyone else.
