Yeah, torrents take quite a bit of time. Especially a 7.6-gigabyte torrent. I've been at it since the 22nd, which makes it 4 days, and I'm at 73.5% at the moment. And no, I don't download 100% continuously, and you don't have to leave your computer on for weeks at a time.

Rapidshare would require you to pay for a subscription, or you have to wait an hour or so between downloading every chunk, and there are 80 chunks for this release if I'm not mistaken. If you'd rather do it that way, I can provide you with a location with links to all 80 parts if you like.
