the torrents are illegal. what basically happens is a user registering as a developer either decides to create a torrent and broadcast it, or someone acquires the data from the recipient and posts a torrent of it, thereby violating terms and conditions of apple's developer license agreement. By apple's standards, this is a public software violation and folks like me get very annoyed. this causes problems where developing the software becomes more problematic with bug reports that don't tally due to inexperienced users of the software thinking it's going to be perfectly fine. the whole point of the DEVELOPER preview is for software engineers, hardware engineers and analysts to fully assess the OS, report or resolve erors through technet reports and direct contact with other apple engineers, etc.
