The torrent could be autogenerated by the download server when the files are transferred over, the download server would act as the initial seed server. The torrent once created could be shared on the website and then thats it. The contents of the torrent cannot change without it being a completely different hash and thus invalid for the torrent. >Does our website not have enough bandwidth for downloading KiCad packages? Actually simultaneous downloads from multiple users do seem to slow it down quite a tad bit. It's not like the files are hosted on a CDN like other projects may have or even github. The theory with torrents is the download server would consume the same bandwidth during initial seed but then others could then "donate" their bandwidth afterwards to continue sharing (the initial seed is still there too).
