Bandwidth costs money, and we don't have much, so using BitTorrent to
distribute the entire archive has been appealing idea for some time,
and it's finally available!

Initial announcement:

Barry posted details on using rtorrent to seed these from a Linux
server:

Once the first volume has got a few seeds, I'll release the next
volume until we get up to date! If you're able, please help us seed
these torrents - even 10KB/sec is useful.
