    It is offered on the official bittorrent links, so I'm guessing they want to seed some bittorrents and mirrors before announcing to the world and having hordes of people download it. If they release it by bittorrent, the bandwidth usage is spread across all the users, and once the beginning /. (etc.) demand is satisfied, they can let the rest of the people use ftp. It's a nice way of combatting the /. effect, and the flood to the mirrors that result from it.

    There's a forum post on official forums, and the Official torrent link also has the 3.6.
