It would definately help. Just grab the zip-of-torrents[1] (which
will be updated with 1.6 torrents on Wednesday morning), unpack it into an
empty directory, and run your BitTorrent client of choice across all of
them (btlaunchmanycurses is one example, btlaunchmany is the other. YMMV,
depending on your OS), let it pull the files to your local machine.
From there you have two choices; a.) continue to keep your
BitTorrent client running, helping other BitTorrent users, or b.) put the
files on a publically-accessible ftp or http site, and we'll link to you
from the main Plucker website for those files.

A lot of common applications do this nowadays. QuickTime is one
that immediately comes to mind, RealPlayer is another. I think the new
Microsoft patches do this now as well, downloading a little 450k "stub"
application that launches and downloads the rest of the install online for
you.
If you choose to serve them over ftp/http, please let me know the
location, so I can link it up properly on the website.
