I set up a torrent for the 17 Mb OFF patch here (http://fakeoutdoorsman.com/off).

I'll try setting up a multi server torrent once I get the OFF installer downloaded.

(That is if I get permission from OFF Team. If you want me to remove the above torrent just let me know. I set it up before I read your Legal Notice.)

Also, my host does not charge for torrent traffic, so I can host the large download if needed.

Just reminding people that you can use bittorrent to download OFF. Download speeds are increasing as people join the torrent. We currently have 6 seeds (three which are servers)!

Get it now! (http://fakeoutdoorsman.com/off)

Bit Torrent is still advising 8-12 hours on the download of the main file to St. Louis Missouri USA. Is this normal?

It depends on how many seeds and clients there are and where they are located. The higher the number the faster the download, generally. If you take a look at the site linked above, it should tell you what the number is for each. I was seeing a max download rate of 30-50kb/s. It would be faster if people left their torrent software open after downloading to help seed the file. If you are behind a firewall, that may also slow down your download. I'll try to add a few more seeders.

I am wondering what the download speeds are now that there are 11 seeds. The torrent says that one person downloaded the whole install in 20 minutes.
