Re: BitTorrent based update mechanism

[Elliott Wilcoxon <elliott wilcoxon org>]

However, if BT is going to be used as an update protocol in this manner, 
we need such a mechanism to help the reliability of the service.  I am 
uncertain what, if any, plans have been made towards implementing this, 
but I would expect that any updating mechanism would implement their own 
BT client, so that they would be in control of how things work entirely, 
and as such, they would be able to use any features that fit their needs.

P.S. Do you have a link to some of the multi-tracker discussions that 
Bram took part in?  I'd like to take a read.
