Well, the Bittorrent has picked up a bit - the third (and likely LEAST USEFUL of the three) ISO completed earlier this morning, the others have hours to go (varies between 3 and 5 hours remaining)...

I'll have to look into how bittorrent really works - I would have thought this was a more popular download, hence more sources, hence faster download... I've downloaded 12 Gig, and have only uploaded 944 Meg so far.
