As we see, almost no server admins are doing this. The best way would be to enhance the p2p clients so that they can "speak" ftp or http and fetch some pieces via ftp or http protocol.
Well, some clients actually can do this.
Yes, we see that mirror admins typically don't do this but what exactly is the _reason_ that they don't run a seeder? For example why don't _you_ run one?

Torrent, according to their web site, is answer to overloaded central servers (FTP,HTTP). Even if there will be no security risks, than setting p2p seeder on FTP server is just against basic idea. Plus design details explained in Peter Czanik email. -- Regards, Rajko.
