Sofar and i looked into this some time back,  The problem with using  
this idea is that frankly the torrent clients would not allow for  
multiple files off of the same server at that time.  some feature  
requests went into ctorrent I think to implement the features we  
would need to allow for a torrent based mirroring system for all of  
the source packages.

Basically if you want to research the actual use and requirements of  
seeding 2500+ files with a torrent and having it automatically  
maintained as a daemon and fun other things i say go for it!  for the  
servers and the users the ability to have only one torrent seeding  
application would be the holy grail,  with a simple hup to add new  
seeds and such to its list of available torrents.  i personally don't  
see having All 2500 files either on torrents.  probably only source  
files greater than say 10 MB?  this would cut down the list drastically.

Feel free to start the requirements planning for ltorrent  if you  
want to step up to the plate of implementing the backend :-P
