I have to say that I just finished downloading a 43 Gb torrent and I had a great experience. The torrent is a rainbow table distribution and is completely legal because the creators not only allow the sharing of the content but also encourage it. Due to the incredible size of the data, torrents are really the only way to go. The file took around 10 hours to complete and averaged in the neighborhood or 800k/sec download speed. No matter what you think of torrents, this is clearly a great example of the power of peer to peer networks. It would have been hard for a single server to maintain that bandwidth for the entire download time and impossible for a small group to provide the bandwidth for more than a few people a month. Torrents provide a great distribution mechanism for large amounts of data and resource strapped entities.
This is of course the case as long as you are downloading your favorite Linux distribution but as stated earlier it should not be used for illegal means.
