Bittorrent, do they?  Everything else is already done :)

Coordinating this with gborg/pgfoundry involves the infrastructures of
both.  When I do something, it ought to plug into those
infrastructures in a fairly modular way, the alternative being
painting myself into a corner as I've already done with the page frame
:P

Can't you just check the gborg/pgfoundry directories on ftp for new files?
a simple 'find . -type f ! -mtime +1 -print' should provide you with a
list of all files that have changed/been added in the past 24 hrs ... and
have the script run every 24hrs?
