And therein lies an inconvenience with bittorrent. The more common installs
(Personal Desktop, Software Development Workstation) require only the first
2 or 3 CD images. Yet most torrents consist of all the images in a single
"bag", and it is not possible to rely on partial results being complete.
Stopping the download in the middle does not work, you must wait until
it is 100% finished before using any piece of it.
