No, of course: on Linux and Mac, it's easy to mount the .iso files. On:

- Windows < Windows 8, I provide WinCDEmu
  (http://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/) which lets the user mount the .iso
  file instantaneously,
- Windows 8, .iso files can be mounted by a (double or right, I don't
  remember) click.

I used to provide the whole already mounted directory of the .iso file
but I noticed the transfer time of all these files and (sub)directories
was from far longer than just transferring a single (but huge) .iso
file.
