I don't mind running bittorrent, but I just downloaded the beta last week, and as I doubt there were a lot of changes, I think rsync against the old isos might use less bandwidth?
yes, rsync against the old ISO's will use much lesser bandwidth.
I don't know about that, I've done xdelta's of only minorly changed ISOs and they can be quite a large size difference. Although I'd like to take an additional crack at it with xdelta3 (xdelta uses a similar approach to rsync)
Someone with both ISOs should run an xdelta for us and see how small a diff/xdelta could be generated.
