These torrents include all the MP3 files publicly posted on the SXSW website as of March 8, 2009 (1267 files, 6.15GB).
The first 2 torrents were initially seeded on February 21, 2009 and the 3rd on March 8, 2009:
Please be patient as the initial data is uploaded on Part 3 since there is only limited bandwidth available. I will have 2 other people helping with the initial seeding (thanks guys!). Once enough people are connected and start sharing as well, download speeds should improve significantly. Parts 1 and 2 are well-seeded at this point.
Please keep the torrents open as long as possible after downloading!

Update 2/24/09: The swarm has grown to several hundred people with well over 100 seeds on both torrents. Thanks to all those keeping it alive around the world -- keep spreading the word! There are already more mp3s posted so we'll be creating a third torrent at some point.
Update 3/8/09: The long awaited third torrent is here! It contains over 200 songs that were added to the SXSW website since the initial torrent were posted on Feb 19. The first two torrents are still going strong as well.
