Greg,

Ain't going to happen. There are many issues involved in using a system like
"Bit Torrent", but the most important of them is that we, that is, the AVSIM
Library Management team, loses total control of the distribution system. We
have a strong commitment to the authors who upload to AVSIM to maintain
control of what is in the library at all times. For instance, if one of the
authors asked us to remove a specific version of a file, we could do that
with the base AVSIM library and the mirror. If we introduce Bit Torrent into
the equation, that control would be lost as we could not remove the file as
requested. We honor our commitment to authors, and BT would not allow us to
do that. That is only one of many issues with BT.
