Huh! It is much easier when one makes proper visualisation
of the protocols involved into the task. Peer2peer is not the
devil, but the way to do things. I cannot imagine downloading
debian dvd in one act. What if the line drops?
I agree, in an ideal universe, torrents are a great innovation, and
should be the standard method. Alas, in many places, by many ISPs,
torrents are punished, throttled to the point of uselessness and worse.
I always download my Debian DVDs by http: protocol transfer. (I have no
alternative.) If the connection is dropped, it can easily be resumed,
because I use a download manager and I download from a mirror that
supports resuming.
