Hi,
I'm asking me why is nobody using the great http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ distribution system.
I can't see any disadvantages, only benefits.
BitTorrent will eliminate any bandwidth issue.
BitTorrent has limitless scalability == super fast downloading.
All the downloaders "pay" for the download with there upload capacity.
No mirror has the burden of a rush of downloaders for a new version.
The .iso file integrity is guaranteed with SHA1 sum.
Why not using BitTorrent as optional distribution system for the Knoppix ISOs ?
Update:

Knoppix ISOs now available via BitTorrent:
