For me, it seems like the torrents are peanuts.
Ask yourself - did you use them?

Yes, and if memory serves I got about 200K/s which is pretty much maxing out
my DSL connection

Have a look at http://ftp.gwdg.de/stats/webalizer/ - there you can see
what ftp.gwdg.de has delivered via http the last days.
Add about 1 to 2 TB a day for the sum of ftp and rsync, and you see
very very clear that a relaxing effect by the torrents is simply not
existing.

Perhaps, but the question is can it be made to exist, and if so how? User
education?

I guess you can't educate by telling, and not even by offering as we see.
By publishing (not releasing the ISOs any other way) would result in a bad image for SUSE - "not user friendly".

So the best way would be not to release ISOs at all (exception: boot.iso), but to publish a script which can build each ISO by fetching the files from the inst-source tree.
