For what it's worth (and I'm on the digest list so someone may have
already brought this up), bittorrent is fairly resource intensive and
perhaps it doesn't need to be run on this particular server. I setup bt
seeds for all the torrents on a box I had last night with a 10 megabit
line, and I'll do the same with my other production box today. As long as
there's at least one torrent seed going out there, I don't think the
webserver should be seeding torrents.
