This question sort of entered my head when I was in the games section and someone mentioned that a demo for Overlord had been released. It seemed kind of fun, so I went to download it only to find that the demo was well over 1GB and the download speed from filefront was roughly the speed of molasses flowing in winter. I couldn't find it on Steam, but I did manage to find a torrent for the demo. I wouldn't post a link to the torrent, since a) I don't want to encourage their use due to the many illegal uses people put them to, and b) I really don't want to get into trouble 
nor give the impression that I am hinting anything (BTW - I'm not - this is only for the 1GB demo that is floating around).
Is it okay to even mention that there is a torrent out there for a freely available demo? In some respects, this could be abused in the sense that people can use it to insinuate or use innuendo to discuss pirated material, but on the other hand, the size of demos has gotten pretty outrageous to download via http.
This is a gray area, so I wanted to ask here rather than in a post about this demo to avoid trouble and/or the appearance of wrongdoing.
Linking to a questionable site, or a torrent on a questionable site, is clearly not something any of us want to see happen, but what about just mentioning that such demo software or a large linux distro is available via torrent?
I wish manufacturers would just provide a torrent link, though I understand why some are reluctant to do so. It is very handy, but obviously can be abused.
