Here's my script for downloading via bittorrent:

tors="http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-amd64.iso.torrent
http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/ubuntu-9.10-server-i386.iso.torrent
"
wget $tors
rtorrent *.torrent

I set it up in a screen session and am now just waiting.  Download
speeds are ok, but not great (<20KB/s each).  You'd think with a large
number of simultaneous downloaders, speeds would be faster.  Maybe I
haven't set up sharing correctly.
