For me, it seems like the torrents are peanuts. Ask yourself - did you use them?
Yes, and if memory serves I got about 200K/s which is pretty much maxing out my DSL connection
Have a look at http://ftp.gwdg.de/stats/webalizer/ - there you can see what ftp.gwdg.de has delivered via http the last days. Add about 1 to 2 TB a day for the sum of ftp and rsync, and you see very very clear that a relaxing effect by the torrents is simply not existing.
Perhaps, but the question is can it be made to exist, and if so how? User education?
I guess you can't educate by telling, and not even by offering as we see. By publishing (not releasing the ISOs any other way) would result in a bad image for SUSE - "not user friendly". So the best way would be not to release ISOs at all (exception: boot.iso), but to publish a script which can build each ISO by fetching the files from the inst-source tree.
