It doesn't need trackers anymore or? You just create the torrent and
host it (from slow home) and then the swarm will distribute.

Bittorrent :) .. if your bandwidth permits (if only for a initial
seeding phase). I am possibly going to setup some way to rsync torrents
and files to our server, but for security/legality reasons this needs
either password or human review then and will take some time to setup.

Btw Its not the case that I have a massive server, just a humble
rootserver (hetzner/germany) with iirc 1TB Traffic limit. I count on as
many people as possible to help here, wasn't that the idea with
bittorrent?
