    I recognise the convenience of BitTorrent for the developer - it's saving them a ton on update servers. But there are ISPs out there in the world that throttle BitTorrent traffice (specifically this traffic as opposed to other internet traffic) at peak times.

    Now, I know there are answers - download during the day. Get another ISP, etc etc.
    I don't think those are decisions I should have to make just because my ISP decides to can one type of traffic between 5pm and 1am.
    I'm currently downloading all 300+ meg (as has been already pointed out, I have 99.9% of this data already), at a snail-like 5.2kb/s (1.9% currently done, and has been going for about ten minutes so far). The client currently estimates a whopping seven hours, ten minutes to complete this. If this was a download only for the data I required, I'd be fine with it.
