Bummer. I still torrent mine, and I drag myself out of bed about 5am to get it started so that it's done when I wake up a few hours later.
And because I'm impatient, I queue two so that the chances of one being done by wake up time are better, heh. I find that torrents cycle speeds, too--they'll go really fast for a bit, then slow down for a bit; all due to the way it works, I guess. Some chunks come faster because more people have them, but others might just have the one source, but I like it because the rate is hyperbolic.
With direct downloads, the more people grabbing it the slower it goes, but with torrents it's the other way around. They start slower, but they speed up fast. I haven't yet woken up to find mine still going.
