Also, why is a smaller torrent prone to dying, naturally? Well, it's down to client settings, essentially people share X torrents. With a custom client, this is entirely avoidable. In the same way, the project tracker is under no obligation to accept user torrents.

A custom client might not accept user torrents. Which would be the perfect reason to reupload the file somewhere else and use your own client. Custom clients made to restrict users in ways that open clients do not are made to be broken.

Also, honestly, I'm not quite sure where the torrent thing comes from: it's not from anything I've said, I'd use a wiki-based platform (possibly a distributed one) and not torrents!

Here's where it came in:
Steve Jordan said ""Post-filtering" takes place after the book is released, in P2P and portal reviewing processes."
I made my point about P2P.
You, then, make a reply to my reply which was explicitly about P2P. I could have mentioned other P2P methods other than torrents (like Emule or Kad) but the technical and cultural limitations would be very similar. But either way, wikis are not P2P and are irrelevant to a comment that was explicitly about P2P.
