Jesse, I'm not following your logic about bittorrent. The torrent server would not "have to give everybody the bits." Is this why you are so against torrents? That's not how they work.

Your automated seeder would be the initial seeder. Once just one tester gets it, they will be able to take the load off of the automated seeder and spread it even faster to more people, and more people, and more people. The automated seeder would not be "overburdened" and would not slow down. Millions of people would be able to download an RC if you used a torrent instead of an HTTP link.
