You also need the trackers. You can't distribute those.
why not?
We all know the "warez rings" that live in IRC, each person hosting an XDCC bot or what not with files "for educational use only." Each person hosts GBs of files and they seem to manage distribution fairly well. In that case, why not have each person in a torrent ring in irc host trackers. The bandwidth strain can't be any worse than an XDCC bot's strain.
And, hosting the torrents is perfectly legal, since the bot (or person) doesn't actually host the material.
This way someone would have to use something like www.ircspy.com to search for a torrent file, download that, and then start distributing...i don't see why this won't work.
