That would work quite well, let me know when it's up.

That could work but like you said needs quite a bit of designing to
work well - I would suggest that for now we maybe set up mirrors like
FTP sites do, i.e. complete copies on more than one host, this way the
bandwidth load is at least shared.

Does anyone have any objection to a private bittorrent tracker?   It would
help with the centralized management/searching/etc and if more than one
person has space to keep stuff it helps everyone overall with download
speeds.

Just a thought. :)
