The site is extremely slow at the moment, so I took a pic of the ordering page, to give you an idea of what there is there, if all you want is to quickly check the information on the record set.
I'll try to find a torrent for first disc later. I didn't listen to any tracks, yet, so I can't comment on the album. But honestly, I didn't expect the 36 songs to be only 5 bucks (just €3.3 or £2.5). I read the news as something along the lines of: "Trent Reznor is handing the first part of his latest album for all to try." So, I thought "let's give it a try, I'll buy it if I like it." The thing is, I really didn't expect it to be a four disc album and thus the "first part" being almost a whole disc, nor did I envision the digital version to be this cheap. If the site was more responsive, I might have bought it right away... Even considering the fact that I'm not exactly a fan of NIN, it's definitely an honest deal, even if it turned out to be an average indus album

From the readme:
Now that we're no longer constrained by a record label, we've decided to personally upload Ghosts I, the first of the four volumes, to various torrent sites, because we believe BitTorrent is a revolutionary digital distribution method, and we believe in finding ways to utilize new technologies instead of fighting them.
We encourage you to share the music of Ghosts I with your friends, post it on your website, play it on your podcast, use it for video projects, etc. It's licensed for all non-commercial use under Creative Commons.
