On the talk page, it says "torrents are useful to save bandwidth, which is not our problem". If bandwidth is not the problem, then what *is* the problem?
If the problem is just to get someone to store the data on hard drives, then it's a much easier problem than actually *hosting* that data.
We certainly want people to host it as well. It's not a matter of bandwidth but of protection: if someone can't get to our copy for whatever reason, another copy is accessible.
