[Bf-webcontent] BitTorrent tracker for Video tutorials is down

[Bart Veldhuizen]

Glen,

we are looking if we can provide our own tracker on blender.org to 
serve large media files. Can you give us an indication of the kind of 
traffic that we should expect from a tracker?

Also, how do you make sure that your files are always seeded by at 
least one server? We tried to run a bittorrent client on blender.org as 
well, but it (the Python version) was giving such large loads that we 
had to kill it. Are you aware of C/C++ based solutions?
