While I'm willing to give mad respect to anyone who hacks together a torrent plug-in, I don't think this is the place for it. The developers and much of the myth community have made it clear that torrents are NOT supported, not least because we want the machines and the project that we spent so much time working on to remain to free of legal burdens.
If you want to code a torrent plug-in, go for it. If you want to use BT on another machine and transfer the files to your myth box, go for it. But if you want to discuss the ways and means of getting torrents to work natively on your mythbox, perhaps you should start a new mailing list. MythTV was not designed as a means of sharing content on the internet (or stealing from poor, orphaned movie stars, depending on who you listen to), and all of us would suffer if the project came to be treated as such. Talk about your hardware. Talk about the problems you had getting your widget to work and how you solved the problems. Talk about bugs in the new CVS. Talk about the importance of defeating the broadcast flag before (or if) it comes into effect. But please, please, please, please, lay off discussing torrents, at least on official MythTV forums. That said, nice patch.
