i tell people* it's because torrents are faster**
but it's really because they're cooler

*i made that up i've never gotten that far into a conversation about distro downloads

**in my experience it is actually a bit faster

    If the cdn limits download speeds, it can be quite a bit faster. Like I have gigabit speeds at my library. Its faster to torrent the os and download it from my seedbox than it is to do a direct download.
