Why not just make bt.postgresql.org a redirect to www.postgresql.org?
For the main page only of course, as the actual .torrents are still
served there. Should be a 5 minute hack to do...

What's *really* embarrassing is that the "artists" who came up with
that beautiful design didn't manage to get off your asses and find out
which torrents are actually getting served.  It's not hard, and you
didn't ask.

Because it wouldn't have actual links to the .torrents.
