The default, base Bittorrent software installs quite easily, IIRC (I use Azureus personally, haven't used the core client in ages) Or else you could contact Blizzard about their customized version (their updates are all deployed via Bittorrent; a individual download app that includes the BT client, and .torrent in one executable) In fact...someone should figure out a way to do this, automagically...hrm.... I can pitch in on the BT side of things, if you need another seed or a tracker (How big is this file, anyways? I've got 100GB+ of bandwidth I'm not using each month, might be able to throw it up, depending on size. Or at least be a mirror (perhaps get several set up, and do a round-robin system to mirrors, like the Mozilla Foundation does?)
