+1 for the torrent idea
+1 from me as well :)
+1's do not help unless somebody actually goes and implements it, and
everyone is busy with the actual release.
Upload a torrent to linuxtracker.org or any other open-source related
torrent tracker and link to it in the download page (or host the
torrentfile). Should be easy. (preferably use several trackers).
I usually get the new releases via command line tool
wgethttp://owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-5.0.0-RC2.tar.bz2
On the servers I don't like to have torrents installed/active,
so this won't do it for most of the server admins.
But I would say do both, put them on one of the established systems
for high-volume downloads AND create a torrent.
There is a well-established solution for this, called MirrorBrain [1].
It's works on HTTP-basis, using HTTP-Mirrors, and can optionally feed
a Torrent tracker. It's used to distribute packages for high-volume
projects such as openSUSE, LibreOffice and KDE, it should be able to
handle ownCloud easily. However, MirrorBrain does not come without
administrative (e.g. finding and maintaining appropriate mirrors)
overhead (I've set up a mirror brain instance myself before), so let's
first see if using a stronger server helps, and resort to something
like MirrorBrain if it doesn't.
