A feature of several popular Bittorrent clients, including my own preferred client (Azureus) can make use of RSS feeds to download new content. Given RHEL5 is due to drop anytime now and CentOS 5 won't be far behind, I think it would be great to just have the BT client check the RSS feed once or twice a day and just start downloading as soon as the ISO's are released. The project will benefit by automatically having a number of seeds within hours of the torrent being added to the RSS feed. So by the time the announcement hits /. there will be a nice sized swarm of seeds ready to go.
