I don't know that HTTP server <-> closest POP bandwidth capacity
and/or cost is a reason to discourage torrents; if many seeders are
behind a slow link then the total download speed can be faster for a
leecher on the same side of that slow link.

I expect a low/negative bandwidth advantage of a torrent over HTTP for
the people I can imagine downloading a LiveCD.  Notwithstanding, is
there a reason to discourage it (admin overhead, for example)?
