Was my post really that hard to understand?  It seemed pretty clear to
me but it should, I wrote it.  Let me try to explain.

Pretend I posted this next Monday and the iso's are on every FTP server
in the world, now let me ask the question.  "How does Red Hat feel about
utilizing BitTorrent as a major method of official distribution."  They
would create the .torrent file. and seed the ISO's. And people are
actually able to get shrike without having to wait 2 weeks to find an
open slot on an ftp server.
