This is a good suggestion and I've been toying with similar ideas in the 
back of my mind.

If you are willing to do some research on finding (and/or compiling) a 
bit torrent seeder for Nexenta that can seed many files efficiently then 
I would be willing to host a tracker and a seeder for this purpose.

The reason I say multiple files efficiently is because there are two 
interesting packages I would like to eventually support: 
apt-transport-debtorrent/debtorrent. Running a seed for the Nexenta 
repository would enable mirrors to be automatically used instead of 
users having to manually specify that mirror. To do this, some details 
would need to be worked out/implemented but it could be very slick :)
