I guess you can chalk this one up in the legitimate use of peer networks column. Home Computer Magazine is using BitTorrent to more efficiently deliver their monthly digital version of the mag. The mag is free, in case you were wondering. This seems to me to fit with the intentions of the BitTorrent design - links on web pages to swarmed file downloads.

3. Yeah. The only other BitTorrent website I know that operates as such is TV-Swarm@EFNet. Nice concept, not getting much use though.

1. The only thing better would be if they had an RSS feed with the .torrents to subscribe to.
