Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal

I wanted to download an CD image on my Testing system. I went to
www.debian.org, namely https://www.debian.org/distrib/. There I was
recommended to use the bittorrent image (previously I remember jigdo
or something simliar was used).

On the dedicated download page
https://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/index.en.html the following is
written:

You will need a BitTorrent client to download Debian CD/DVD images
this way. The Debian distribution includes BitTornado, KTorrent and
the original BitTorrent tools.

However, this is not true. BitTornado and the original BitTorrent
tools have been removed over a year ago from Sid (und Testing).
Requiring to install KDE just to download an image is a bit too much,
in my opinion.

So the text needs to be updated but more importantly a lightweight
toolset to download needs to be determined which is available in
Debian, preferrably on the command line for easier handling. 

(And sharing bandwith is a good idea, I'm willing to support this when
I can).
