On the day iOS 5 came out, I was trying to download the update along with everyone else in the world. According to iTunes, my download was estimated to complete in 6 hours; there was no way I was going to wait that long. I hopped on my favorite torrent tracker, found the proper iOS 5 binary for my iDevice, and started the download.

It finished in 40 minutes or less.

Why doesn’t everyone bake this tech into their update delivery mechanisms?
