You can pick and choose which files you want from a torrent.

And if people are going to the effort to do then why exactly can't they go to the effort of downloading the videos off the org?

Because in most cases it's easier to click a single link and deselect from a list the videos you've already downloaded (or select those which you haven't yet downloaded, if you've downloaded more than half of them) than clicking through two links for each video you've yet to download. Not to mention waiting on the download timer or filling out star ratings if you're using a local link.

Ya know, considering that these are the "best" videos of the year wouldn't you think that most people would have already downloaded most of them already? (as has been said before) Myself there was maybe one that I hadn't already downloaded and I've havn't really been active lately. I see no point in a torrent, but whatever.

ya there were only like 3 vids I had not seen. And it is lazyness and you people should just DL of the org. and give opinions of the vids.

Possibly out of the forum regulars, but out of the whole userbase, doubtful. (even given the number of spam accounts and such)

Right when the VCA results were announced (April 24th), downloads of my videos were at:
April 2040 99.5 GiB

But at the end of the month they were at:
April 3457 163 GiB
