Already tried to transfer a BlueRay image of 50 GByte or a PostgreSQL
dump of 500 MByte. Even "wget" and "curl" with LFS failed to transfer
the BlueRay image... I had to build my own Perl-Based transfer util.
Torrent works only on multiple server reliable. If you try to transfer
a 50 GByte image it fails

The question is, Ho do the users get the Big files with a web browser?
Here my local apache2 (Etch) fails if I try to download the image...
(Quad Xeon with 16 GByte of memory and SCSI drives)

Hmmm, a Paste-bin-Site in Debian as package would be nice... of course
with a reliable send-file tool including support for queueing, multipe
recipient server...
