I'm really supprised that someone hasn't mentioned this yet. Worth having a look at. The Minotaur looks sweet :0~~~~~ It is just a 'Making Of...' the the intro to it. http://www.blizzard.com/wow/movies/ Uses BT to download it as well :)

J.I.Styles: Try using TorrentStorm to download torrents instead of the default Bittorrent client, I've found it much better.
www.torrentstorm.com I think...

"This is meant as a test of the Bittorrent distribution method."

Bittorrent means less stress on their server, which means more content! And it also means you can possibly get speeds greater than the server itself is capable of! Yay bittorrent!

And they are using a specialised client, you can't use your own.

When you see servers with Anime Fansubs that use BT, you realise why it is gaining popularity. You can have a 200mb file stored on 2xT1 servers, but with everyone sharing, everyone can download with a few terabytes of bandwidth left over. That is as long as people do it fairly and don't throttle their uploading limits.
