Especially since one can use rsync to convert from the DVD to the CD set, or
vice versa, with negligible additional bandwidth (maybe 1% of full download
size). So even if one actually needed both disc sets, this torrent doubles the
necessary download size. One can get the netinst image from either the DVD or
CD#1 in the same way.
