166 MB file... somebody torrent it quick! by patiwat · 2005-12-26 02:56 · Score: 3, Insightful

I'm not sure of the wisdom of the site owners in posting a direct link to a 166MB file on Slashdot... Why don't people just use bittorrent for distribution of files like this?

It's a fascinating video though, conveniently formatted for ipods with video.
