Distro Watch and LinuxISOtorrent

It’s a slow day on Slashdot and there’s a post up about LinuxISOtorrent.com where several Linux and *BSD distros are available for download via a torrent tracker.

Many of the comments echoed what I’ve thought before - that this is a great service but it would be much nicer if it provided an exhaustive and current list of all distros. Something like this can be done in XML-RPC or RSS because all the information is readily available. I use the Distro Watch RSS feed to keep track of new stuff that comes out, I’m wondering why this can’t be automatically integrated into a tracker where new distros are available for download as soon as Distro Watch says they’re released.

If you have any desire to get involved in this project I’d be happy to hear from you. I’m thinking about doing it myself but I’ve been sorta swamped so it might be a while before I get to it.
