This wouldn't work too well, as cooker changes too often. BitTorrent
is really useful if you want to spread a big file (or many files in
one torrent). It creates too much overhead for small files. Well, you
could generate a new torrent for every cooker update, just like the
hdlists, but it hasn't been tried yet, maybe it's worth a try. Too bad
I didn't manage to use btcompletedir.py, which you need for generating
a torrent for a directory of files.
