Folks,

Answers:

1) As Bitorrent content providers, we only need to offer a main content site
and an SHA1 encrypted hash called a "tracker".  We do not have to host other
people's files.

2) Trojans are prevented by the "tracker" which serves the same function as an
MD5 in verifying content, and as Bram Cohen is a cryptography expert, I trust
this mechanism.

3) As far as offering the BT file, we need just add the .bittorrent link to
the downloads page after doing the setup.

I think we should do this.
