Legal BitTorrent Communities for Class Presentation?

OnBeyondBeing asks: "A few of my friends and I are taking a class at a local university called 'Internet and Society' and we have to do a 'Technology Tour' on innovations that have social aspects or uses (like Google Maps, Kiko (an Internet-based calendar), LiveJournal and Frappr). We chose to do our presentation on BitTorrent. As part of our presentation, we have to do a lab in which the students and teachers use BitTorrent in some way. I was thinking of having people join some BitTorrent community that interests them and join a torrent, but most of these communities contain material that is not suited for an academic presentation. Aside from places like CommonBits and Etree (and others that were mentioned in a previous Slashdot post), what sites have you found that use BitTorrent as the basis of a community that are clean and legal enough for a class presentation? Alternatively, what other interesting, legal uses of BitTorrent have you found?"

Re:How to configure Bit Torrent on Linux?

[Lord Kano]

Besides torrent sites with legal content, are there any good sites describing how best to configure Bit Torrent in Linux so that a person using it doesn't mess up and open up their whole hard drive to the world?

I would highly doubt it. It's a fair concern, but it doesn't apply to bittorrent. With Bittorrent, you only make available that which you have explicitly shared.

Unless you make a torrent of c:\ or / you don't have anything to worry about.
