UltimateBootCD and BitTorrent

I tried to download the UltimateBootCD today and use (for the first time) a BitTorrent client like they asked me to. I was getting 4k/s download. In the end I stopped and went to the Alternative mirror and ended up downloading at 50k/s and bittorrent is meant to be oh so wonderful!

Bittorrent is as wonderful as we all make it. If there's no one sharing your file, then you won't be able to take full advantage of it.

BitTorrent is designed to disseminate very large files among _lots of people_ very quickly.

If your file isn't very popular, it's better to ftp...
