What's the exact issue?

Torrents are a pain, slow, unreliable and it's not impossible for you to get 
seeded with other stuff you don't want.   Also, many ISP's block such activity.

Torrent by name, not by nature...


Sucking down an ISO file from the main FBSD site, yes it takes a while.  So just 
kick off the download overnight if needed.   The byte count isnt much different, 
in fact probably less than a Torrent when all done, for those trying not to trip 
over any download quota.

If you use a manager of some sort, they generally recover from any trouble, 
and restart from where it left off.

If all else fails, I'm sure you can still purchase a DVD or something to be sent 
via snail mail.

Leave Torrents for the kiddies who like to rip off other peoples music, and other 
copyrighted material, while also sharing viruses etc.

Just my opinion, others may disagree.

Regards to all.
