No more than with the FTP. However with torrents they're only running as long as people are seeding. That is, people with the entire file staying online so people can continue to download from it. After a couple weeks it's unlikely anyone will be seeding something like the WR DVD so anyone who comes across it via Google would be out of luck.
And possibly, given the sort of "community" at the list here, people could actually request reseeds for certain torrents without the usual "OMG SEEDZ PLZ" flaming. At least for bigger files, such as the already mentioned White Room DVD with two soundtracks, it would be quite grand. Of course these reseed requests should be prefixed with the appropriate [RESEED] tag at the subject header so those who won't have any part at it could easily ignore the whole thing. (As already witnessed with RMStinger's FTP-related posts...) Just another 5c from me -j -- ... It feels great to wake up and not know what day it is, doesn't it?
