I've been studying the availability of FreeBSD ISOs on edonkey networks, and, surprise, I just noted that the ISO has no "FreeBSD" on its name.

I think it is redundant since the files are living in /pub/FreeBSD. If you move them someplace where FreeBSD it no longer part of the namespace, then sure, it probably makes sense for you to add FreeBSD back into the name.

Well, you are thinking of FTP. Jo?o is referring to P2P applications, some of which are particularly well suited to the fast distribution on very large files, and in those the concept of the "directory" the files are in may be non-existent.
