I can get speeds of up to 1.8 megs a second on a well seeded torrent. That isnt gonna take 3.5 hours to grab a 8.5gig (or smaller) file. You're looking at 2 hours max. Who wouldnt wait 2 hours to save 30 bucks plus the gas it takes to drive to the store and buy it?

You can get them for like 8-10 dollars a pop if you shop around. The real issue is that the burners are pretty expensive still. However, that will change.
