nearmiss,
I respectfully disagree .. whoever seeds a torrent has control of the content, and the particular name and it's MD5 hash can be published as the 'official' torrent.
I can almost guarentee 4.09m official will end up on the torrent tracking sites anyway, it's wiser to have a known good version made available, than to risk multiple copies showing up that could conceivably be "poisoned' .. though I can't imagine why anyone would poison a legal and legitimate file.
Once the 'official" torrent is up, and dozens download and seed, from that point another differrently named 4.09m won't attract use anyway.
And no matter what you download from anywhere, it's wise to run a good anti-virus scan on the archive .. btjunkie.org does have "verified by the community" numbers and comments.
I can almost guarentee also, that no matter how many mirrors you set up, I'll be lucky to pull down 100kbs, where through a torrent and sufficient seeds, I get about 300kb/s (2.4Mbits), my maximum download speed.
TD .. how big is 4.09m in a .rar or .zip file ?
