How about some sort of private bittorrent network?

Given how many people use the bittorrent word everytime we come up with 'what options are there', it might be good to actually try this. I guess the biggest challenge would be to share a torrent tracker or some torrent info at different levels : 1) internally for .centos.org edge-nodes 2) with external mirrors 3) with everyone

Technically, (1) and (2) could be merged to get better all around 'performance' but as has been argued ( and proven ) in the past, when saturating straight lines, http traffice gets there faster than bittorrent does.
