This version is not new. It's been out for over a year. I don't know why it just showed up here now.
Anyway, the concept is cool, and the visuals can be interesting to the point that you'd rather watch the screensaver than do something useful. The fact that this is video-based causes problems, though. It requires a lot of bandwidth and HD space to get a decent assortment of sheep, and the sheep are getting kind of low-res by today's standards. It would be cool if they had H.264 High Def. versions of the sheep for download.
I agree that it's completely ridiculous that the downloading is so slow and that the torrent downloading isn't built-in, and that will end up turning a lot of people away. If you have Vuze (Azureus) or another torrent client that supports RSS subscriptions, though, you can easily use that for your downloads.
