You'd be surprised, I often download from bit torrent even when a non-torrent download is available simply because I know how expensive bandwidth is. I'll admit your average user probably won't use bittorrent unless there is a problem with regular download but I don't see any reason NOT to offer glob2 via bittorrent. The more people that use it the better things will be for our servers. On a side note I have 10MB of webspace from my ISP that I don't use and don't have any intention on using anytime soon. Assuming it's small enough to fit I would be more then happy to mirror one of the more popular downloads (I'm assuming the windows binary).
