It's kind of silly, but I still really dig the idea behind torrenting and peer to peer sharing of data. It's cool to think about any old computer helping pass along some odd bits & bytes of data, whether a goofy drawing or strange story.

Any large file is going to be much quicker getting through BT as long as there are enough seeders. OS distros, patches, P2P files, 4K anything, etc.
