It is not funny to have RS and other mirrors before a torrent. The way the leaker is uploading the files (split rars to a chinese file-hosting site) means that the files will be mirrored to other file-hosting sites before a torrent is created because the parts are coming in one-by-one, no one can make a torrent until they have all the parts. Making a torrent for 10 parts would be stupid. I guess the chinese leaker could have made a torrent instead but with a slow connection that'd be a much worse choice, not to mention chinese ISPs have fairly limited international bandwidth and probably throttle the bittorrent protocol too.
Also it is becoming more common for x64 to leak before x86.. this is because x86 is old news! Many people these days can run x64, it is also much better.. so it makes sense to leak this first.
Welcome to SevenForums and believe me I can see why someone would do this. If it were up to me, we would have X64 and file sharing services getting the first of the leaks. Many people (including myself) have to deal with ISPs that throttle P2P, so torrents is not even a reasonable method of downloading for us. All I was getting at is it just seems to be different from the other leaks which could be due to a new leak source. Or maybe I am just upset that they are teasing us with a third of the ISO and leave us hanging for a while.
