It maybe one of those things that ends up being requested only after people know its there to be used. Or it might not catch on all. I'm not saying do the integration work with FAS yet, and make it clickity easy for people to track torrents. But maybe have the seedless tracker look into a specific directory in the people spaces for .torrent files to track. Like how the planet picks up your feed info. That might lower the bar enough to make people think about using it for things. For example...If the new version of pitivi that's under development now is as good as the blogs make it out to be. Come F12 we could be shipping a reasonably good video editer tool as part of the distro. A seedless tracker might be a great way to foster a secondary community of raw dv video content like interviews and FAD events and screencasts...with the goal of other people being able to edit it down into usable clips in pitivi and producing theora encoded content of reasonable size. Without putting an initial burden on Fedora infrastructure to make space for all the raw content. torrents may not be good for packages, but its great as a way to spread stupidly large dv video clips. Policing it is another can of worms entirely. I imagine, a simple don't be an ass honor code would apply similar to the cvs commit access. -jef"I'm looking forward to seeing the datamined nuggets richard wants to distributed.
