As I watch the patching/installing/downloading process, I can't help but realize how the patcher can't use my fat-ass internet connection's potential to download the game data.

My suggestion is that Xsyon should offer a bit-torrent download method of the initial installer & data.

Not only would the xsyon download servers use less bandwidth and cpu time, but downloads would be vastly faster. Of course, the normal download method should still still be offered.
