bittorrent alternative for downloading

I'd like to see an alternative to the pure server based download section.. I haven't been able to download 1.5 correctly, downloads got cut off every time I tried it. A simple torrent would be enough to get lots of people downloading and making sure that they get the file in one piece.
Since the demo is now publicly available and is the same file as the commercial version, I don't see harm in putting up torrents for these files since anyone is supposed to be able to download them easily anyways.

I noticed that 1.5 isn't publically available yet, NL might want to give the existing customers a headstart (because right now they only have 1 download location?). Sorry if I confused anyone with that in my first post.
On the download page it says it's the same file as the commercial version though (just has to be activated, that's the only difference).

Agreed, works well for Luxology.

I've been trying for hours to get the download working, still to no avail. This is poor practise of customer support, at least get some more servers up guys!

I managed to get the file a few hours ago
3 servers now.
But I still think Bittorrent is a good idea

finally, I got it too! I also found out that such a torrent does exist...It seems that some people could not wait at all!
