This increases the availability and the redundancy of your file as torrent is powered by multiple fast mirror servers and regular users.

We will automatically load buttons (or populate [URL="http://burnbit.com/buttons#custom"]your buttons[/URL]) with complete live statistics of the torrent for that file.

Runs pretty much the same way Blizzard downloader works for their games. Just a simple torrent app with their blazing fast servers also feeding data through http. Interesting idea, but it only allows someone to use their server as a "seed" for a torrent, which can already be done and isn't done to prevent the server from having to serve data. Though hopefully this is adopted by a lot of peope, and helps speed up the initial distribution in torrents for mods, new distros, etc.
