<p>hi Hrvoje -</p>
<p> </p>
<p> this comes up with some regularity.. basically, torrents work well when
there are many simultaneous downloads.</p>
<p>The frequency and volume of OSGeo-Live downloads is not a good fit to the
Torrent model..</p>
<p> </p>
<p> best regards from Berkeley, California</p>
