@georgia many linux distros do this. they publish magnet URLs and checksums so you know you're getting a legit copy

@georgia Huge files downloaded through torrents may download faster. also helps reducing bandwidth congestion and volume usage.

@georgia I wish I could torrent open source software, with a few tweaks bittorrent would be an excellent package delivery mechanism
