...rather than Safari (on 10.3.9 at least) to download the .torrent file or you get the data displayed rather than a file downloaded.

From the previous time this distro was announced I remember that the individual images were around 1 gig apiece. This torrent is for a single 2.8 gigs disc image. I presume this is for at least 2 of the previous images and, if so, it seems unnecesary to force people to download such a huge file when, if the .torrent had been created for a directory containing discrete images, users could use their bit torrent clients to select which image/s to download.

Hello,

this files is not zipped; we have insert an original file of the VPC disk. After the old problem with the torrent file, we have prefered keep the file without compression.

I see. Surely a tested, zipped image would've still been a better solution ?
