Syllable 0.6.1 is the latest incarnation of the operating system that "will be a reliable and easy-to-use GPLed operating system for the home and small office user" as their website states. That's quite a noble cause most other alternative operating systems never claim to be able to market to non-technical audience one day. Even getting Syllable up and running is pretty easy: fully-working VMWare images and a LiveCD images are provided for free download. Apparently, Danes are the primary downloader of the Syllable LiveCD, given the primary language in which the LiveCD page is by default.

BitTorrent can't replace the current way of doing it, but ofcause I could use both.
mallard: I tried that in the beginning, but I didn't have any luck. But there's another place, I'm going to try.
I really don't see the current hosting as a problem. It's stable, and it's fast enough to be usefull.
The current LiveCD can mount fat, ext2 and ntfs partitions, so people can play their own music and video.

You could host the project on SourceForge, they already have TB's of traffic, you wouldn't even make a dent.
