I have noticed that OpenBSD.org doesn't offer up a torrent as a way
to obtain the install ISO's or other files. I have found that the
quickest way to download a large ISO of certain other operating
systems is by the torrent on their site. Sure, there are third party
torrents. Sure, I could ensure that the file I download hasn't been
tampered with via some sort of hash. I still think that an official
torrent would not only benefit OpenBSD users, but also benefit
OpenBSD itself in the form of reduced bandwidth costs.

Or am I missing something where distributing your operating system
(to include the expected hash result) via P2P is somehow insecure?
