Bittorrent is slower than a standard download
If these distros are only available on bittorrent, chances are they are not legit. Bittorrent is mainly used to transfer copyrighted material. I took a look at the offerings. This is free for all for you but hell for the authors.

A 50 mb download took about 3-4 minutes for me. A standard download would take 1 1/2 minutes. I can download Fedora 3 in about 20 minutes for the iso.

You would burn your own linux comrades. What is the matter with you? Oh I know, you don't give a sh*t.
