Baen Books has been publishing CDs along with selected books for many years now. They have been making the corresponding ISO images available at their Ebooks website, as well. Baen allows copies of those CDs and ISO images to be distributed freely, as long as no profit is made by the distributor.
Those image files have been mirrored by several websites, including bittorrent sites, namely oberon.zlynx.org and dak180.dynalias.com. However, oberon has been down for quite a while now.
Eventually, I decided to recreate the bittorrent files. I've referenced established public bittorrent trackers, namely PublicBitTorrent and OpenBitTorrent. I've changed the Numbering of the CDs aways from the order used by other mirror sites, in order to get some sanity back into that numbering scheme. I've numbered the CDs by the date the books were published.
Additionally, I've re-created the iso images, as well, in order to achieve maximum compatibility for all operating systems out there. Each iso image now has a iso9660 level 3 file system on it, including Joliet and Rock Ridge extensions. Additionally, the images are now compatible with the UDF and HFS file systems. This should provide for maximum compatibilty accross all popular operating systems.

Downloads might be slow in the beginning. I'm seeding from my home DSL line. Please help seeding.
The following table lists the links to torrent files of all CD image files ever published. Whenever available, the iso images are derived from those available at Baen Ebooks. As not all images are available there at the moment, I've used other mirror sites, you can see the source of the file in the table. Be advised that the images listed in the "Source" column are not identical to the images provided by my torrents. They have the same contents, but vary in file system structure in order to make them more compatible with all those different operating systems used out there.
Joe Buckly maintains a Baen CD mirror. Another useful mirror, also offering iso images for download is Freedoors. The contents of the CDs are browseable there, as well.
Allen Smith mantains a fairly up-to-date index of free ebooks published by Baen.
