A very valid point and a big plus for why use torrents to acquire
install CD/DVDs. I always use torrents when getting Ubuntu install
discs. In addition to knowing without having to do an MD5 checksum (if
one is available), going the torrent route allws me to become part of
the feed for distribution of Ubuntu (etc etc), which is a positive and
very "ubuntu" thing to do.
