[pct-l] Class PCT DVD Copies

[Brian Klotz]

Bittorent only works well if you have large numbers of people sharing 
the same download.  If you don't, which is probably the case in this 
situation, it gives no real advantage.

Ryan: I don't really know why you would want to do this in particular 
because of the bandwidth requirements for one person to download just 
one disk (around 4 gigabytes).  Unless you have unlimited transfer on 
your website or wherever you plan to place these to download, this is 
highly impractical and could cost you big time dollars for overages in 
bandwidth usage.
