And it is probably worth reading the analysis of mirrors and torrents

The analysis leaves out DHT and PXE. These features alleviate stress on
trackers. Also, UPnP is becoming common place. This allows transparent
port forwarding -- although Fedora keeps the firewall blocking by default.
It also does not disclose torrent user clients. Depending on the user
client, it may/may not work well. Bad clients can ruin a torrent. Black
listing bad clients (even users) can keep torrents healthy.
The analysis also leaves off any numbers of HTTP download counts. Most
people want to click on an HTTP link and download with their browser.
They'll skip over the bittorrent link, which is hidden anyway.
I don't like the analysis not just because it shows bittorrent in a bad
light, but because the author has a poor understanding of bittorrent.
