Yes, but they're OSS-friendly, popular, and several members of our community
already use Bitorrent. Among other things, Linux kernels get distributed
over it. It uses the p2p network to bypass bottlenecks at certain ftp sites,
allowing you to stream the same download from 2-5 sites simultaneosly and
saturate your download bandwidth.
I don't think we necessarily need to host a Bitorrent server at hub.org; I'm
not clear on how joining bitorrent works, really. I'll ask one of the
current users.
