Use Of Torrent potential through the Launcher

[Lithia]

Seeming that The Updater sometimes has horrible bugs and Doesnt update properly
And also times out connections usually under 40kb/s

I was wondering if the client could Support Torrent client file sharing
so you could download and not get timed out by the host

This will also Help Downloading Speeds :3

This may help with other issues too!
Because my updates always come out corrupt because of my 7kb/s Connection

Well that's one of the greater ideas.
I can't download FTB from home because I'm on a 64kbit/s connection. I'm sure there is some Java torrent client library out there that is easy to use. And for the tracker you can just use openbittorrent.org. This could also reduce your hosting costs
But you should make the torrent files available for direct download, so that people can cache them with their torrent clients.

I like the idea, but a fail-over to direct download is a must.
