I believe the server is located in France Being located most distantly from the kicad download servers i have no issues with the speeds from the download server, If we were qt and had 2.x GB downloads and the speed was complete crap like i get from qt i would encourage torrents. but from downloads.kicad-pcb.org i normally max out my connection (ADSL) as such i don't believe they are necessary
